story The Lady In White
I was 19 years old in my first year of college in Mesa, Arizona. I stayed with my mom in an old home near the center of town. She had a wall full of family pictures and a table that had probably 20 pictures in frames propped up on it. One morning, my mom awoke to find all of the pictures on the wall were hung up reversed - the pictures were facing the wall. All of the pictures on the table were laying face down. She didn't bother to tell me about this until after I had my own experience.
My mom worked 2nd shift so I was the only one home between 4pm and midnight. One night, around 8PM, I was in my back bedroom studying. I heard some cupboards opening and closing and water running in the kitchen, so I went to say hi to my mom (thinking she had come home from work early). When I left my room, there were no lights on in the house and there was nobody home but me. I thought I was just hearing things so I left the kitchen light on and went back to my room to study. After about 20 minutes I heard more cupboards banging, water running, and pots and pans rattling. This time, I was sure my mom was home so I left my room only to find all of the lights in the house turned off again! I'm sure there must be a burgalar in the house by this time so I get my .357 revolver in one hand and my .22 revolver in the other and go to each room in the house, turning on the lights and checking all of the closets and bathrooms. After I convinced myself that there was nothing in the house, I turned on every single light in the house and returned to study. !
After about another 20 minutes, I hear the same sounds from the kitchen as before, but I also hear water in the bathroom filling the bath tub. I opened the door, and found all of the lights in the house turned off again! The faucett in the bathroom was wide open, as well as in the Kitchen. I had had enough by this time so I grabbed my motorcycle helmet and ran outside to start my motorcycle. I watched in amazement as the braided steel clutch cable snapped before my eyes, making it impossible for me to leave. I had a friend come pick me up and didn't go back for a while.
My younger sister came over for a visit that weekend and stayed in my room since I was no longer there. She was waken in the middle of the night by the feeling of skirts brushing by her arm. She glimpsed a woman in a white robe pass by the bed and walk through the closed door!
The next weekend, a friend of my mom's came to visit and stayed in my bedroom since I still hadn't returned to the house. The lady woke in the middle of the night to get a drink of water. After she had poured herself a glass of water, she turned around and was face to face with the 'Lady in White'. The ghost turned around and slowly floated down the hall and into my bedroom. Needless to say, I haven't returned to that house since.
