I was home alone late one night, in the kitchen washing dishes.  All of a sudden, I saw something out of the corner of my eye, come and stand right next to me.  It startled me, so I kind of jumped away.  I turned to look, expecting to see my daughter or husband, but no one was there.  A couple of minutes went by and it happened again.  The strange thing about it is....I just didn't see someone walk up, but I could also feel something there....right there in my face....watching what I was doing. It really is a scary feeling, being there alone and this happening.

    I (Laura) had gone to bed. At around 3:30 in the morning, I woke up for some unknown reason. As I laid in my bed, I heard this strange sound coming from inside my bedroom. I sat up to look what was going on and what I saw shocked me. My closet door was opening and closing over and over. I was scared to death. I jumped out of my bed went to run for the door, but no matter what I did, the door wouldn't open. It was as if someone were holding it from the outside, so I couldn't open it or the door was locked, but no matter what I did....that door just wouldn't open. I sat down on the edge of my bed and put my face in my hands, scared, not knowing what to do. All the while listening to my closet door still opening and closing violently. Then all of a sudden, my door slowly opened about a half a foot. I grabbed the door, swung it open further and headed out to turn all the lights in the house on.  My mother woke up later, confused why all the lights in the house were on....she questioned what was going on. I went on to explain to her what had happened. She asked if I might of been sleeping.  I told it could be possible, except it wouldn't explain why I was wide awake....watching and listening to all of this going on.  I know what happened, and I definately was not asleep!

    Two nights after my daughter Laura had a strange encounter in her bedroom, I too had a bizarre experience. I woke up and thought I heard someone moving around the house. But when I sat up, it no longer sounded as if someone were moving around, but sounded more like a tapping or light knocking sound coming from in the kitchen. I sat there for a while listening to it....puzzled at what was going on....yet, I couldn't get myself to get up to go look.  I was very scared, afraid I'd have a similar encounter to what Laura did a few nights before.

    I was home alone, in the kitchen working a puzzle.  Suddenly I heard what sounded like a coin spinning.  Then it stopped.  A few minutes went by and I heard it again.  This time I got up to look around....when I did, I never expected what I saw!  I looked around and on the floor, there was a penny, standing on it's edge....upright....then all of a sudden, it just fell over.  I was so scared that I called my sister Becky on the phone to tell her what had just happened, shortly after my daughter Laura arrived home.

    I was home alone and drifted off to sleep on the sofa.  I woke up to the feeling of someone sitting on the end of the sofa.  I could feel the cushion sink down, as it would if someone sat down on it.  I really couldn't see because it was dark.  I tried focusing my eyes to see that area, but didn't see anyone there.  At first I thought it w either my daughter or my husband.  When I got up and turned on the lights...no one was home.

    This didn't recently happen, but my daughter Laura was telling her boyfriend Alex about this and it reminded me about when this happened, several years ago.  My kitchen cabinets were all seperate cabinets, connected together and then the counter top was one complete piece.  One morning we woke up to find one of the cabinet on the end, laying out in the middle of the kitchen floor.  It looked like it had drug out from underneath the counter top and just pushed into the middle of the kitchen floor. We have no idea how it got there.....but we definately know none of us moved it there.

    I'd been working on my kitchen cabinets....and it seems that every time I do something in the house, something always ends up disappearing and then reappearing later, after I've given up looking for it any longer.  This one particular day, I was glad that Junior was home, so he could verify this happening.  I had taken apart one of the cabinets and laid the screw on the counter. When I asked Junior to hand it back to me, he said it wasn't there.  We looked all over for this screw and it was no where.  So, assuming it must of rolled somewhere and we wouldn't find it, I left and went to find another one to replace it.  When I got back, the screw was back where I had originally left it...Junior was shocked, because he too looked in this exact spot, who knows how many times and it wasn't there before.


    I was working in the kitchen and decided to take a little break.  So, my grandson Matthew and I went outside for a little while.  I heard the phone ring, so I went inside to get it.  When I went to go back in the house to put the phone back on the charge, the door was all of a sudden locked.  Now, you would have to know how this door works.....it takes effort to lock this door...and neither of us had touched that lock.  I couldn't help but wonder if something deliberately locked me out of the house.


    I had fallen asleep on the couch, watching t.v. I don't know what time it was when I woke up, but I had woken up from a nightmare.  The nightmare seemed so real, that really thinking about it now, I can't tell whether I were dreaming or whether I really woke and this happened.  But when I woke up, I definately wasn't still half asleep, I was awake and when I got my eyes focused, I could swear that I saw the living room, where I was sitting, full of people.  It startled me at first, then all of a sudden, they just disappeared.  Like I said, I can't swear what I saw was real or whether or not it was my mind playing tricks on me when I woke up....but if I had to say what I felt it was, I would swear, I saw what I saw and I wasn't dreaming.


    I stopped by the house to eat and get a quick shower.  I had heated up some noodles and because they were so hot, I put them in the refrigerator to cool off, while I got my shower.  I was in the bathroom, running the water, waiting for it to get hot, when suddenly I heard something in Mom and Dad's room.  It sounded like someone jumping up and down on the floor real hard...stomping their feet.  I walked out of the bathroom, opened their door to look in....but no one was there.  I kind of put it in the back of my head and went ahead and began taking my shower.  Off and on, I kept getting this strange feeling that someone was watching me and I even pulled the shower curtain back a couple of times to check to see if anyone were there.  Well, after I got my shower, I got my food and went into the living room and got the phone.  I was sitting there eating, when all of a sudden, I heard someone come running down the hall, really fast and it was like they were stomping their feet real hard while they were running.  I jumped up, took off outside on the porch and called my boyfriend Alex to come over.  He got there....checked the house, but didn't find anything unusual.


     The very morning following what happened with something stomping it's feet at home....I had stayed over at a friend's house.  I came home, sometime around six in the morning, to pick up some things before going to work.  I pulled up in the drive-way and saw that the living room was glowing a blue color through the windows and door.  I figured Mom must of fallen asleep on the couch, with the t.v. on.  So, I walked up the first couple of steps and all of a sudden, there was this man, standing on the other side of the door, inside the living room.  I stepped up onto the porch and before I knew it, he had his face up to the window on the door, looking out at me.  What's strange is, when he looked out at me, he didn't move the curtain and look out, he stuck his face right through the curtain.  Then all of a sudden, he took off, running towards the kitchen and just as he got right up the where the living room turns into the kitchen, he just vanished before my eyes and that blue glow in the living room was gone.  I tapped on the window, for someone to let me in, because I was scared half to death....and that's when it dawned on me that the t.v. was never on to begin with.....so what ever that glow was, must of been from that man I saw.


    Kimberly and John came over to take pictures in our house.  I just had to know whether all this stuff is really going on.....especially after what Laura saw.  Laura and Alex came over to watch to see if we would get anything in the pictures we were going to take.  Well....what we found out, was "not" what I expected we'd find.  We did get a couple of pictures that shows something's there and a voice on a tape recording.  That very night, after everyone went home and Junior was home from work. I was in the living room watching t.v. I ended up falling asleep on the couch and in the middle of the night, some time after two in the morning, I woke up.  I heard thunder, real loud.....at first I thought it was thundering outside, but that's when I noticed the couch was vibrating.  And before I could get up.....I began hearing what sounded like someone walking around the living room, stomping their feet.  They just kept circling the living room, over and over....and all the while, the couch was still vibrating.  Finally, when I couldn't take it anymore, I jumped up and went to the bedroom, where Junior was.


    A few days, following the above incident...I was in the kitchen washing dishes.  I just got this creepy feeling that someone was behind me, watching me.   A couple of times, I felt it so strong, I had to turn around to see if anyone were there.  Well, before I knew it....I was feeling like something touching the back of my hair....pushing it up.  I got my hand, rubbed my head, thinking maybe a bug flew in the house and was on me....but I didn't feel anything.  Again it did it and it kept doing it, pushing the back of my hair up, until I went into the living room.


    I was sitting at the kitchen table, looking at some new Christmas snowman ornaments I bought.   I needed to cut the strings off them, so I got up to find a pair of scissors.  I went to the place that I always keep them, but they weren't there.  So, I went around the house, looking all over for a pair....and finally got some.  I walked back to the table, where I had the ornaments laid out and was shocked to find a pair of kid scissors sitting right on top of my ornaments.  I could not believe it.  I don't know where these scissors came from or how they got there....but it was pretty disturbing.


    I was sitting at the kitchen table and was startled by the sound of voices behind me whispering about something.  I have to say that what I heard, the voices....were talking very fast and very low.  It sounded to me, like more than one person in the room discussing something.  I had to leave the house, because I just didn't know what to make of this.  I later spoke to my daughter Laura about what had happened, and she too fessed up and said, she didn't want to frighten me, but one two occasions, she'd also heard people talking....like they were discussing something.  She agreed that the voices were in a whispering tone, yet they sounded like they were right in the same room, but talked so fast, you couldn't understand a word they said.  But it was definitely a conversation or discussion type sound, of more than one person talking.


    I was sitting in the kitchen working a puzzle.  My grand daughter was with me, keeping me company.  I heard a knock at the front door, she heard it too, because she got up to answer the door.  She returned back to the sofa and said that no one was there.  Again it happened and it happened a third time...this time, she was apparently frustrated with the knocking....because she remarked to me that she was sick of getting up tot answer the door, when no one was there.  I didn't want to tell her that this was a regular thing going on here....because I knew it would frighten her, so I just didn't say anything at all to her...and the knocking stopped.


    I was sitting in the living room, waiting for Laura to drop me off at my mother's house for a visit.  She was running late shopping, so I just sat there waiting for her, figuring she'd show up any minute.  Well, I just got this very strange, eerie feeling that I was being watched, so I decided I'd go stand by the door and wait for her.  When she didn't show up, I ended up calling my sister Becky to come get me, because I just couldn't shake that feeling of being watched.  Well, while waiting for her to come, it began to get dark outside and I don't know what it was I saw, but while looking out the front door, I saw what looked like a camera flash going off in the living room (behind me). I turned to look to see what the flash was, but nothing was on, not the t.v., nothing.  It happened a couple of times again and I just couldn't stand there anymore, I kind of got the creepy feeling that it was something having to do with what ever is going on with ghost in our house, so I ended up waiting for Becky at the street.


  I  was sitting in the living room watching t.v. and pretty much, wasn't scared or anything, because I've began to just accept the idea that our house is haunted and what ever is here, isn't trying to scare us....just maybe let us know it's here.  So, while I was watching t.v....I heard what sounded like someone pulling out the chairs from the table in the kitchen.  This went on for a little while and I told myself that I wasn't going to let it scare me....that I'd just ignore it.  Well I guess what ever was doing this, really wanted to get my attention, because the next thing I knew, I heard what sounded like someone in the kitchen, running real hard and dragging a chair or pushing a chair along.  I took off outside as fast as I could, because "now" I was scared.


(Laura)
    I don't know why, but whenever I blow-dry my hair, something very strange happens. Suddenly something will start pounding really, really hard on the wall in the closet....or the wall that adjoins the other bedroom.  Normally, I try to ignore it....but just recently, I got up the nerve to go to the other bedroom, open the door and shout in it "Stop all that pounding!".  I don't know how or where I got the courage to do it....but I did.  Ironically, it has happened again since then. But that's not all that has happened.  Sometimes when I'm blowing drying my hair....I will keep my bedroom door open. I do this, because of the last time I was in my room, something locked me in....and now, I will leave the door open and put something in the frame of the door, like a shoe or something, to prevent the door from closing all the way. But sometimes, on a couple of occasions, I have gotten this really strong feeling that I'm being watched.  And only a couple of those times....when I got this really intense feeling that someone is watching me, I will look up and just get a glimpse of something moving out of the doorway.  Once I was facing the mirror and when I got that feeling, I looked up, I saw what looked like someone just jumping out of the way of the door, as to hide behind the wall. I got up to look, not knowing who it was.....and no one would be there.

(Laura)
    I had just gotten home from work. After parking in the driveway, I was getting my things together and I got the weirdest feeling to look up. When I did, I saw this face, looking out the window at me. At first, I was in shock at what I saw. All it was, was a face....no eyes, that area seemed blacked out or missing and the mouth also seemed as if it weren't there.  The more I looked back at this face, staring back at me, I felt as though I were mesmerized by it...I just couldn't stop looking back at this face.  I reached down and grabbed my cell phone to call my mother, who was in the house at the time. I wanted her to come outside and look at what I was seeing. When I began dialing the number, looking back and forth between the phone and the face....I noticed the face began to slowly fade away.  Then before I knew it, it was completely gone.  I sat there, not believing what I had just seen.  I didn't get out of the car right away, not because I was scared or anything....because, I can't explain it....what I saw, didn't scare me, even though I know it probably or normally would have...but it didn't.  As I sat there, thinking about this face, trying to remember as much as I could about it and the details of it....wondering how in the world I was going to explain this to people.....I was staring straight ahead at the window and the face began to appear again.  It was there for only a second or two....and when I blinked, it was gone. Not like before, it seemed like it was there for the longest time. I do remember this, that this face, I would swear, it looked very similar, if not the same as the face I saw before, peering out at me and it had the entire room glowing blue. The details I will never forget, it was definitely male and had brown hair, as I said, no eyes and no mouth. No neck, no shoulders, no nothing....but just a face.


(Judy)
    It was quiet around here for a little while.  I hadn't had any really scary experiences like I had been having for a while there.....Laura seems to be the focus of attention lately.  Anyhow....I was sitting in the living room watching t.v., when I could of swore I heard something....like talking. I turned the t.v. down, didn't hear anything.  Turned it back up and again, it sounded like people talking...and I knew it wasn't coming from the t.v.  I waited a while, then quickly turned the volume down on the remote and I could of swore for just a second, I heard women talking in the kitchen.


    I was in the bedroom, waiting for Laura and Alex to get home with pizza.  I heard the living room door open and close, then I heard footsteps in the kitchen. I figured they were home, walked out....didn't see anyone in the kitchen, went to the living room....still no one.....walked to the front door, looked out....Laura's car wasn't there.  I went back in the bedroom, thinking how strange that was, hoping that nothing else would happen, while I was home alone....and again, I heard it again. I heard the front door open, then close, then footsteps. I didn't dare come out the bedroom, this time....because I wasn't sure if this would keep happening and I didn't want to come out and see something there.  But then I heard Laura call to me and I came out and asked if she had just come home a few minutes ago, then leave and she said she hadn't.
