Okay, are you ready for my ghost stories ??? I believe in ghosts-- grew

up in old houses (like 100 y.o.) back east, 3 that were haunted.

1) I was 6 y.o. when my parents rented a 3-bedroom house, they had 5

girls (counting me) and 1 baby boy. When we moved in, my 2 oldest sisters were

put in a back bedroom. They were terrified to stay in that bedroom as

there were sounds like things dropping on the floor, so all 5 of us girls

shared one of the other bedrooms together, baby brother stayed in parents'

bedroom. My dad put a lock on the door so none of us could go in there.

I was small for my age, was in a crib against one of the walls. I used to

scream (was scared) that there was a man in the bedroom. My mother would

turn on the light and come in and tell me no one was there and to go to

sleep. I had told her the man wore a brown suit and brown hat, had no lower

legs. So-- next time I hollered my mother put a vigil candle in the room,

the glass jar it was in had a cross on it. I never saw the man after that.

My mother told the next door neighbor about the 'haunting'. The woman

said the prior tenants were a young couple with a little boy, his crib was on

the same wall as mine. The little boy's grandfather lived with them, every

night he went over (in a wheel chair) to kiss the boy good night. The

neighbor said when the grandfather died he was buried in a brown suit and a

brown hat (his wishes-- loved his hat), and said his legs had been amputated

from the knees down.

From that time on, I always slept with a night light on.

----------------------

2) When I was 16 y.o. we rented a bungalow, my bedroom was the only room

on the 2nd floor. During the night my rocking chair would rock. Off and on

I heard someone coming up the stairs to my bedroom but when I opened the

door, no one was there. I assumed it was my imp younger brother playing

games with me. One night we had a bad storm, lost our electricity. I

noticed a white light/shadow <WBR>come from the window, I made the sign of the

cross but it did not leave, so I ran downstairs and got in bed with my bro

My mother said this house must be haunted too-- she frequently yelled for me

to stop dropping my shoes on the floor (she heard noises like something

was being dropped on the floor), but I was either still in bed or sitting in

a chair.

----------------------

3) In my 20s, my husband and I bought a 45-year-old house. From the time

we moved in, strange things happening-- like late evenings I would be in

the living room ironing, could hear footsteps like someone came up the cellar

steps and kept walking (circling) around my dining room table, but I saw

nothing, also heard footsteps coming up the stairs to the 2nd floor at

night. When I heard the footsteps, my German Shepherd would bark and act like

something was there and was afraid to stay by herself.

Also, I would lay on our bed during the day and work on my grocery list.

I would hear footsteps overhead in the attic-- we did not have an attic,

just a crawl space. Sometimes I would feel a chill in bed at night while my

'dead as a door knob & don't believe in ghosts' husband snored away. I

would be laying still, and while I felt chilled it would feel like something

feather-like was stroking my legs and arms. Sometimes if felt like someone

lifted the bottom of the bed just a little and was making it sway.

My neighbor told me about the former owners-- that the man was dying so

the wife slept in the 2nd bedroom, that the man died in their bed in the

master bedroom, and that our bed was in the very same spot as their double bed

had been. The neighbor's mother was a believer, told me what to do and

say to get rid of the ghost, I did it and it worked-- everything normal for

the next 3 yrs until I moved out with my daughter.

Right before I left my husband, I moved into one of the single beds in my

daughter's bedroom. One night I saw a light-- like a ping pong ball--

bounce from the window and the light spread like the vague form of a human. I

grabbed my daughter and we got into bed with my husband. After that, I put

a lamp on at night in my daughter's bedroom.

Then, after I had moved out and my husband started bringing in women,

several of them were scared-- <WBR>told about feeling cold, something light

touching them, and the bed swaying. He called me to ask him how I got rid of

the ghost, so I told him what to do, and no more incidents.

No, I never had and do not now have mental problems, was always realistic.

I'm not saying they aren't real, I dont know the answer to that.

what I'm saying is that there can be other influences that might be mistaken for

a ghostly presence. I knew a guy that swore his dead uncle visited him, he swore

my victorian home was haunted too, it had mold. I loved my home and any ghosts

that were there. I hope they are doing some major haunting right now.
