Sorry about the first post of this story. I really do not know why my whole story did not print. Hopefully this time it will.
My mom has told us several stories of "ghost" appearing to her and my aunts and uncles when they lived at home with my grandparents. My mom grew up in the 40's and 50's. The home they lived in was an old house. My grandparents struggled to raise 8 kids with just my grandfather working so the home they lived in was an old sort of worn out home. The home was situated on top of a hill with a long stretch of stairs up to the front porch. The porch was the length of the house.
On one incident, my aunt had just returned from work and decided to take a nap on the couch. As soon as she laid her head to rest, she felt something lay itself on top of her. She felt the weight and could not get it off. She struggled to get up, but the weight was too heavy. She could not see anyone or thing but the pressure was still there. She cried out to her mother. When my grandmother entered the room, my aunt said it felt like this thing jumped off her.
Another incident, my mom and some of my aunts and uncles were outside late in the evening just hanging out. My mom glanced up to the house and saw someone walking back and forth on the porch. The only light was from the moonlight. At first they all thought it was my grandfather keeping an eye on them. My uncle thought maybe my grandfather was getting ready to call them inside. He asked him if they could stay out a little bit longer. When my grandfather did not reply, my uncle got closer to the house and asked again. Again he did not answer. This time all of them were going up the stairs asking my grandfather if they could stay a bit longer. This person would just walk back and forth his/her face concealed. As they got closer, they realized that this person's upper body was they only thing showing. At the same time my grandfather was coming out of the house and saw this person. All of a sudden it disappeared.
Still another incident, my mother had just had supper with the family. She went over to a room next to the dining room. The lights were out but there was enough light from the dining room she did not need to turn it on. She decided to go to this room and just rest a bit. She suddenly felt someone grab her legs from under the couch. She looked down and saw "glowing" hands with very long finger nails. The hands kept sliding up and down her legs. She said she was too scared to scream and could not move. When she finally snapped out of it, she let out a big scream. My grandfather came rushing in and saw my mom trying to get up from the couch. She pointed to her legs and told her dad that something was grabbing her. He could not see anything, but he moved the couch over and saw nothing. As soon as he moved the couch the thing released my mom.
My grandparents were devoted Christians and attempted to have the house blessed. But the sightings continued.
