26 September 1966
Southern New England in a small country town, in a two hundred year old colonial neighborhood my
family moved in to a quaint little farm house. As we were moving our belongings into our new home,
a strange man of small stature named henry approached and welcomed us to the neighborhood. he
wanted to let us know a little history about the house. He told us that some poor fellow had his
throat slit in the house and had wandered on the his back lawn and fell dead. He also said that there
could be some electrical problems with the house because he noticed the lights turning on and off at
all times throught the evening and no one had been in the house for over a year. It was a strange little
welcome, but there it was.
After a day of moving in, we four kids went up to the bedroom that was set up, to get a goodnights sleep. We talked about the day's events and how strange it was that Henry had told us so little and had abruptly left. Everyone had quieted down to fall asleep, when we heard some one coughing down below in the kitchen. This was odd, because our mother had left for the evening and noone else was in the house. We elected our eldest sibling to go downstairs to investigate. In the process, we heard the cellar door rattling in its jam. So the two eldest brothers, ralph and teddy went downstairs to investigate both the main floor and the cellar and found absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.

During the night, Teddy saw an old haggared woman standing in the closet. She had long stringy
yellow hair. Her eyes were solid white and starring directly at him. Although she was standing, he
could only see her from the knees up. With nothing other than a moan, she disappeared. We all
laughed, and Teddy reminded of us of the night before and we fell silent.
We all ran down stairs to tell mother about the weird things that had happened to us throughout the night. She said, "Calm down children, it was your first night in our new home. I'm sure you were very tired and just imaging things. I'm busy now, go about your business."
1 October
More troubles upstairs. Today, our sister Darlene, said that she had several restless nights sleeping in
her new bedroom. She said her bed is moving. "Moving, what do you mean moving," our mother
said. Every time she would get to sleep, the bed would rock from side to side. Last night, the bed
was rocking so much, that she jumped out of bed and the bed had stopped. Then she climbed back
into bed once more. As soon as she did, the bed began to sway and rock again. "That's enough for
me" she said. From then on Darlene slept in the hall closet. this closet was large enough to put her
mattress and blankets. It had a three foot by three foot wooden door. The closet was roughly seven
foot long and four foot wide. Mother told us that it must be a plase and she would be back in her
room at no time at all, but when she started taking her morning change of clothes in to the closet, we
knew it would be a while before she would be back to her room.
5 October
Me, Danny, the youngest of the four, was sleeping in my bed and awoke to a strange figure hoveing
just inches below the ceiling. This spectre was blacker than black, it seemed to float abouthe cieling,
but never to anything distinguishable. This went on for several nights. Then it started to form the
shapes of pigs, dogs, and the like. One evening it reappeared without a sound, this time changing into
the shape of a human's head, arms, and torso. I did not know what to make of it. It never really
scared me, there was no reason, it just floated around. As I thought that, it moved directly over the
top of my bed. Then in an instant it descended to within inches of my face. I could feel the sensation
of something being within inches of my nose. I slithered out of my bed feet first, never touching hte
spectre and ran down the stairs waking mother and pushing her ahead of until we got to my room to
find nothing. I told mother that I would no longer sleep in the room. After the previous events, she
did not even argue.
I, Danny, was raised in this house for eleven years,and this infestation continued the entire time. As my siblings grew up and moved out on their own, the events became more severe and frequent.
Mother installed a hand railing and told my to use it always. Everyone said "That boy is so uncoordinated, you should take him to a doctor to see what's wrong with him." Further trips to the cellar were met in the same way, even though I held the railing. By the second step, I was in free fall tumbling down the stairs, usually head first. So, then mother and my siblings would simply holler down the stairs instead of getting up to help and would walk away mumbling, that boy is really uncoordinated you'd think he'd learn how to walk down a flight of stairs by now.
Walking down a flight of stairs was not my problem, because I was able to use the other flight of stairs in the house without any mishaps. I would never try to carry more than one arm load of things down the stairs, so that I could always have my hand on the railing. As I grew into my teens, I began to realize a strange sensation under my feet as I placed my foot on the first step, and this was of two opposing magnets within close range of each other. Even before my foot touched the ground, it would slide out from under me. With literally thousands of falls down that flight of stairs, I was never seriously injured. I never had a problem going up the stairs, in fact I usually ran up the stairs, because I would feel someone right behind me, poking me in the back.
The next morning I told mother what had happened, and she seem very upset that she didn't respond to me that night. She said, "You know I would have come running if I had heard your screams." She said that she had slept sound that night. She did not know why the door was closed, she left it open as usual when she went to bed.
I have more incidents to post on this page, so check back from time to time. Free free to e-mail me with your experiences, i'd like to read them.
