The things that I want to tell you about are more like short stories really. because they never lasted very long.But since I was very small, strange things always happened at my moms and dads house.I've never actually seen a ghost there but hmmmm,well you decide.One night I was in bed and I saw the hall light go on and knew my mom was up, it was about 2:ooam, so I got up and we were talking. Now from the hall way, I could see the kitchen, the light was off in there but you could still see inside and I saw my dad in his work uniform w/ his back to me drinking a cup of something,well my dad doesn't go to work until about 5:00am.I asked my mom "why is daddy up so early?" she looked and sad "I dont know" so we went in,turned on the light and he was gone, so we went in their room and my dad was sound asleep.
One night my sister had a boyfriend over it was very late and my parents are very strict she saw my dad get up and go into the kitchen (he had been in bed) so they were hiding & waiting for him to go back to bed,well he never came back out so my sis went to see him and he was not there.
I was dating a real jerk at one time and my folks were on vacation,we stayed at their house and slept in the front room on the floor we both folded our clothes neatly and went to sleep, when we woke up his clothes were thrown all over the house and mine were still neat.He said he would never sleep there again.BOO HOO LOL(guess it didn't like him to much.Hee hee)
When I was a teenager my friend Denice was living w/ us at one point and we shared my room. Our friend Trisha stayed over one night and her and I slept in the front room while Denice took the bedroom I'm a very light sleeper and I remember a light waking me up I sat up to see what it was....it was Denice in the refrigorator, all I could see was this blond ponytail bopin' up and down(she was the only blond in the house) like she was searching for something.I looked at the clock it was 3:00am. I thought geez what an oinker and went back to sleep. The next day I asked her about it I said "you must have been pretty hungry huh?",but she said she never got up at all.Then I thought about it,if she was in the frige.I would have seen her whole body(not just her hair) because of the way the frige opens.......It was opened from the oposite side.
Before I got married and moved out I used to come home and walk to my parents bed room if my mom wasn't in the front room(footsteps on those floors are very loud) if my mom was napping I would just walk in.My mom always knew it was me and would wake up before I got to the room. now i'm not there anymore and during the day she's alone, she still heres the footsteps like someones walking quickly to her room and she lays there waiting for me to burst in but the footsteps stop right outsid the door.So she gets up to see if it's me and nobodys there.
So what do you think? spooky eh? If they do have a ghost it doesn't bother anyone it just takes on the image of the people in my family.My parents did find out later that an elderly woman died in our house in 1970.
