O.K picture this....Irvington, N.Y. on the Hudson River....An old house with a strange past (a father and son hung themselves, one in the house and the other in the barn) A girlfriend of mine killed herself after living in the same house (I don't know if that is the reason why she did, I would have to guess it is not, but it is still strange)
Now this house is on a pretty isolated road where your neighbors are not in viewing distance. The first strange thing that happened was that I would hear someone calling my name. One time I was brushing my teeth and I heard someone call me. (no one was home) So I went to the window, stuck my head out and said WHAT? No answer, no person outside calling me. I go back to brushing my teeth, now I hear my name again - but this time it was as if someone whispered it right into my ear - really soft and slow. Dropped the toothbrush ran out of the house took a long ride in my car until someone came home.
We had two dogs who lived with us and they would react alot to the activities going on in the house. One night I came home late (4am) and everyone was away for the night, anyway I do my thing, get into bed, turn off the light, shut my eyes and from downstairs our stereo went on FULL blast - but only for a second or two....Simultainously, the dogs each barked one time and then proceded downstairs for a major growling fest.....Now I was wide awake with terror and I called my friends crying to pick me up - which they did - I ran out of the house and waited outside for them to come - and I swear I saw somone move the curtain to look out at me (and the dogs are still barking)
The next major incident my sister and I were home alone, watching a movie and we heard someone comming up the stairs - FAST - we staired at each other, we were so frightened and of course me being older I had to go find out who or what was in our house. I go to look at the stairs and there is NOTHING, NO ONE. We laugh nervously and try to get back into our movie. About 1/2 hour goes by and we put the incident out of our minds when in the bathroom we hear breaking glass. As if someone took a heavy glass and smashed it on the floor. (we did have a glass in the bathroom) Again being the older one I had to go check again - this time we were FREAKING OUT - I go into the bathroom and there was nothing. The hair was standing up on the back of my neck - goosebumps and all.
We also had many incidents of missing silverware, and missing shoes. I have other stories about the house which I will post at a future date. I hope you were scared!
