Ok here we go.. this is just the tip of the iceburg, but I don't have a ton of time tonight if I want to get the last of my proposals typed up for presenting tomorrow and still manage to squeeze in some sleep tonight.. lol
I grew up in a haunted farm house. There is a little cubby room off of my bedroom that I used to play with a little girl and boy when I was little. My mother eventually put a wall up to keep me out of there when I started coming up with "strange mischief" as she called it and apparently I stopped. (I was too young to remember what trouble I got into, but I do have faint recollections of playing in that room.)
The little boy we named Fred. He's around 5 years old and is frequently seen on the 1st floor of the house (not just on the second floor where the little girl is only seen). Fred is very friendly and likes to play little pranks... he'll unlock and open the door in the middle of the night, move chairs, balance books into stacks, that sort of thing.
One of my favorite instances what when I was around 11, it was winter and my parents, my sister, and I were enjoying an evening by the wood stove in the living room when we heard the door in the kitchen unlock and open. (keep in mind these are big heavy farm-house doors, not flimsy at all) My mother yelled into the kitchen "Fred! Get yourself back in here it's too cold to play outside tonight". And believe it or not, the door shut and relocked!
Many times things would happen when my Exhusband and I were together:
One day we were driving by this house and we both swear it was on fire and there was a person in the front window. So we turned around very quickly and pulled into the driveway only to find it to be an abandoned house with the windows boarded up.
Another time we were driving and suddenly the car filled up with thick smoke and it smelled heavily of cigars. We both turn around at the same time and looked in the back seat... I swear it felt like there was someone sitting there smoking a cigar.
We were laying in bed one night and the TV in the living room suddenly turned on. I got up and turned it back off. A few minutes later it turned on again. I turned it off and took the batteries out of the remote, figuring there must be a short somewhere. A few minutes after that it turned on again... My husband said "unplug it". I told him "no way... if it turned on again while it was unplugged I'd freak out" lol. So I put it on mute and left it on all night lol.
Another night we were laying in bed when a little figure with a blanket over his head came toddling into the bedroom. I scooched over thinking it was my younger son coming to crawl into bed with us. He stood beside the bed for a little bit. I said "It's ok, Keith, come on into bed" and it just dissappeared.
We loved going ghost hunting and one time we went to the Myrtles Plantation in Louisiana (known for it's hauntings). We went on the tour and then had a little snack lunch out by the well. My boys were running around the well playing and I was taking pictures of them. When the pictures came back there were 2 little fuzzy girls running and playing with them! I asked the boys if they had seen them that day, they said no, but thought it was pretty cool.
We took my mother and father-in-law to the plantation tour on another trip and she took pictures of everyone and in a couple of them was a lady dressed in old time clothes in the back ground. On that same trip I watched an impression of a hand appear on one of the couches. Right in front of my own eyes.
There have been several (probably hundreds) of other incidents that have happened to me, but these stick out in my tired mind right now.
The most recent was in the apartment I live in now. I use my cell phone as my alarm clock. It went off, I turned it off. Went into the bathroom, then into the kitchen, grabbed coffee. Then when I entered the living room I almost dropped my coffee... my cell phone was sitting on the bookshelf right by the door... I hadn't picked up my cell phone from my night stand, nor had I made it that far into my apartment yet to have put it there myself
