story I was a complete non-beliver in ghosts until we bought this old turn-of-the-century house in Central Ohio. I became a believer as soon as winter came. We only hear things in the winter. There are so many I don't know where to begin.
The first thing I heard was the sound of someone coming onto the porch and stamping their feet as if the get the snow off but no one is there. On New Year's morning, about 5:30, I was in dining room and I heard the storm door open. I looked up just as the door was closing (front door was glass). I walked into the front room and the outer door opened as if someone was coming in and then shut again. You could see where the door pushed the snow away.
My niece and her husband were visiting from out of town and he awoke to find a figure standing over the bed. Thinking that someone had broken in, he took a swing at the thing. It slowly backed away and disappeared.
Our dog will not go into the basement for any reason nor will he go into the bedroom where in niece spent the night. He will stare at the stairs and growl.
When my grandson was about five years old he lived with me and the child got to the point where he would not go to the bathroom alone. He said a man watched him and then "went into the floor".
I have another grandson who, when he was very small, said that there were monsters in that room. And he would talk to, someone?, and tell them they could not play on the stairs.
This ghost does not seem to be malelovent in any way. It seems as if it just wants us to know he is here.
