story I lived in a house on a road named Dry Creek located in Morehead, Kentucky until I was five years old. I am now twenty. When I lived there, I encountered many strange happenings and so did my mother, father, and sister. We owned a store there which was connected to our house. In the back of the store there was a set of stairs which led up to the second level. We hardly ever went up there because we didn't need the space. We were always hearing strange footsteps and noises from back there. One night after the store had closed we heard footsteps and thumping noises. My dad went to check it out thinking it was someone who went back there to hide out in order to rob our store. He didn't find anything and he even looked under the stairway. Another day, one of my friends came over to play. We went to use the bathroom that was located by the stairway because the other one was occupied. The door was shut and we heard footsteps coming down the stairs. We were so sca! ! red because none of my family members were up there. My dad was on the other side of the house, my mom was outside, and my sister was at school, and no animal could have made that loud of a noise. Other strange happenings occurring in that house dealt with my sister. Every night when she went to bed something would tug at her pillow trying to take it away. One more thing I remember was that I saw a ghost of my dad which was odd because he wasn't dead. He had a bad motorcycle accident one day and he was taken to the hospital to have his splean removed. I was at home and a ghost of my dad appeared telling me that everything was going to be okay. Then it disappeared. Very strange since he wasn't dead and still isn't. Anyway we come to find out that someone supposedly murdered someone in the room upstairs. So we came to the conclusion that the thumping noise was from where the person that got shot fell down the stairs. After we moved out of the house, a few years later ! ! a friend of mine was walking past the house we lived in at night. He swears that he saw two ghostly figures in the upstairs window that looked like they were arguing. He had never believed my stories about that house before, but he did after he saw that. After we found out the story of the murder that explained the thumping noise and the ghostly figures in the window, but it never explained the ghost I saw of my dad. A few years ago that house caught on fire and they could never find a reason why it did. Ghosts maybe? The house still stands, but no one lives in it.
