Well getting that out of the way................
Here goes the conclusion. I warn you guys, it's long.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Linda was really begining to believe that this wasn't Vance. How could it be. Why would he want to do her any harm. SO she did what her mother had told her to do in the begining. She went to a psycic. Now this woman (the psychic) right off the bat told Linda, "My goodness honey, you have been going through quite a bit lately. Your husband has died within the last six months". Now Linda hadn't even told this woman her name! Let alone what was going on in her life! Linda asked her what she was talking about. The woman says she can feel it all over her. All the frustration, sorrow, and hatred. The woman wanted to visit Lindas house (Sorry guys, I can't remember the name of the psychic). They agreed on a time and Linda left. When she got home, the house was torn apart. Furniture turned over, lamps broken, scratches on the walls. Linda basically got the idea that what ever it was in the house didn't like her going to the psychic. But she refused to let this deter her. Well when the psychic visited her house, she was greeted by a phantom voice of an English Gentleman. She had knocked and he had told her to come in. Once she entered the house she felt (so she told Linda later) a very cold presence. Linda came out of the kitchen about this time and was startled to find the woman in her living room. "I didn't even hear you knock." The psychic told her what happened and Linda agreed. She had often heard the English man. Linda told the psycic that that spirit was nice. He had alway told communcated to her when Vance was alive. He let her when she was burning something on the stove or her clothes were done. However she hadn't heard him in a long while. The psychic looked around for about 10 minutes and then abruptly stopped. She turned around and was sheet white. She looked at Linda and said "you need to get out of this house as soon as possible". When Linda inquired as to what the woman had felt, she said "come to my house and we will talk about it. We need to go". Linda followed the woman back to her home (her home is where Linda went to see her in the first place). When they got there, the woman told Linda that she was right. The spirit in the house was not that of Vance. It was of the englishman. However, there were other spirits in the house, but they were minor. The englishman was the most powerful. The psychic had felt that when Vance was alive, the spirit had taken a liking to Linda. And when he died, the englishman would just took his place. Played like it was Vance. When the psychic went back to when the spirit began to be...well mean, Linda realized that that was about the time she began to go out more with friends . The psychic told her that the spirit became jealous. Linda asked the woman why she had become so pale as she was walking around the house. The psycic replies,"He told me to leave you alone, that you were his. I felt it throughout my body my body, all the hatred. You need to stay away from that house." Well Linda agreed and decided to stay the night with Vances parents. But she had to get some clothes and things from the house, so she called a male friend, whom she worked with, to go back to her house with her. When they got there the house was, once agian, in ashambles. Rex (her male friend) was amazed to see the condition of the house. He had never believed in ghosts, and still wasn't sure. He had asked her if it was possible that someone might be playing a joke on her (she hadn't really filled him in on all of the details). She dismissed this idea at once and told him if he heard the whole story he would understand. So he asked to hear it. They sat down at the dinning table (I thought this was stupid, I would have talked in the car or on the way to my Aunt and Uncles, not in the house) and Linda began her long story of Vances' life, death, and the events afterwards. He was full of questions and comments and before they knew it it was 1:00am (they started talking around 6:00p.m.). Linda, realizing the time, suggested that they should get going. As they stood up from the table, there was faint sound from front door (which was to the left of them). As they both looked at the door, the sound got louder and louder. It was as if someone(or something) was first tapping, then knocking, then pounding, then slamming into the door. Rex started over to the door to see whom, or what, was slamming into the door. But just when he was about to open the door, the entire door came off of the hinge and was.......well kinda sucked out about 5 feet. But the stained glass window, which was in the center of the door, stayed in its place. It never moved. Then suddenly, as fast as it was sucked out, it was sucked right back into it's place. Rex about shit his pants. He wanted to leave right then, no later.

Linda was hurring to get her things together, but while she was doing this, the electricity went out. Rex was ready to bolt. There was no moon, and in the country there are no street lights. It was pitch black. Linda began looking for a flashlight, but since the house had been ransacked, she had trouble finding her bed in the dark. They decided to go. But the car wouldn't start. Rex was really freaking out now. He was babbling uncontrollably. Then all of a sudden, he screamed, "I'll leave her alone just let me go!" At that moment the car started and Linda took off down the dirt driveway. Linda never went back. My aunt and uncle had a priest come out and he blessed the house (I have no idea what that entails). They were the ones whom cleared everything out of it and sold it. They had no problems while they were there. Who knows maybe the blessing worked. I would like to get ahold of the new owners and see if they have had any weird things happen. Linda tried to talk to Rex after the incident. But he would have nothing to do with her. She would call and he would hang up. She would try to talk to him at work but he always shrugged her off. Finally she gave up. However, about 2 years ago, she recieved a letter from him (she had moved to northern California and remarried). It said he was sorry for turning his back on her after the incident at her house. He was afraid that if he talked to her that the spirit would "get him". He explained that while he was at her house that night, when the door was sucked out and sucked back in, he was hearing voices everywhere. They were telling him to stay away from her. That Linda was theirs. That if he didn't they would kill him, or drive him mad. That is why he had ignored her. Linda understood and wrote him to tell him so. Neither Linda, Rex, or any of my family has ever been bothered agian.

Whew! Man my hands hurt from typing.
Well I hope it was worth the wait.
