Ghosts In The Old House
Contributed by one of our guests. Many Thanks
Hi there! I love ghost stories as I am a firm believer in them! I have had several experiences; most vividly was in a very old house that we had bought in 1992. It was built in 1899 and several rooms had been added since the original.
It had an upstairs with 2 bedrooms and a large attic to the side of one of the bedrooms. Also an attic above one of the bedrooms upstairs and above the bedroom downstairs with a lot of empty space under the stair well that was closed in.
There is a train track that runs behind the house and back in 1900 a couple who owned the house was killed on the train track. I saw many shadowy images and several objects were always being moved. Such as a mirror that I had in my bedroom. It was always being taken down and laid on the floor. They were not violent ghosts, just wanted attention.
I would hear music playing as soon as I laid down at night and if I sat up, the music wasn't there. We had put my 12 year old daughter's bedroom upstairs as it was larger but the first night she came running down the stairs and said she was not sleeping up there. She heard many noises coming from the attic so we had to move her bedroom downstairs.
One day she came home from school and we were at work. She was going to watch TV but when she went in the den the recliner started moving back and forth and so did the phone cord. She promptly went outside and sat on the back porch for almost 2 hours.
One night I was awakened and when I sat up I saw a mans reflection in my mirror on the dresser. I turned around but no one was there. We also had a little plastic chirping bird that only chirped when someone walked by and that bird was always going off when on one was there.
I no longer live there but I wish I did. My husband and I divorced and we moved away but I'm sure the ghost didn't.
