Mama and I were sitting in the living room watching television and suddenly we heard the back bedroom door slamming over and over. Mama looked at me and made the remark "Who in the heck is back there slamming that door"? I knew no one else was in the house, other than her and I, so I didn't know what to say.....what to think.....because I heard it as plain as day. I got up, went to the hall and looked....but didn't see anything. We both heard it, but couldn't figure out what was happening or what caused it....and we were scared.
We were sitting in the living room as usual watching television. My niece Avalon was over that night and as we sat there watching television, suddenly we heard this loud bang against the front door, like someone had slammed something into it. Avalon took one huge leap over to where I was sitting and her little heart was just a pounding a mile a minute. We waited to see if anything else happened, but nothing did. Some time later I got up enough nerve to go investigate, thinking I'd find something laying on the floor outside the door, but there was nothing there.
Of all the things that have been happening lately, I think this has to be the most frightening. It was late in the afternoon, about three in the afternoon and we were sitting in the living room, just watching t.v. Suddenly out of no where we heard this loud screaming, moaning type of noise. It was a very deep sounding tone....but we both agree that what it kind of sounded like was a horse screaming kind of sound.....the way they do when their frightened and on their back feet up in the air. Anyway, I could tell Mama was scared half to death and I sat there scared myself, not knowing what to think about what was going on. It did this sound, loud, and I mean very loud, over and over for quite a while. All we could do was sit there frozen. After it stopped Mama asked me what I thought of what just happened and also remarked how it sounded like a horse in the kitchen. I responded that I didn't know what it was, but yes, it was loud and scary. After I built up my courage to go into the kitchen, I grabbed the phone and called Kimberly right away. She said she would come over. Just before she arrived, when I was in the kitchen getting the phone, I noticed a loaf of cuban bread on the counter and one one the stove.....but when I returned into the kitchen what I found, was definately unexpected. I walked over to the stove and now both loaves of cuban bread were on the stove now, and laying one over the other, to form a cross. I left it there to show everyone what I'd found.
My mother and I were home alone. We were sitting in the living room watching television and out of no where I heard the sound of someone walking around the kitchen, dragging their feet. From where I was sitting I could see the whole kitchen area, but nothing was in there that would make that sound. I thought it was my mother's bull dog, but when I looked around, she was asleep in the living room with us. I have to admit that I was really surprised at what I was hearing, but even more surprised at what I wasn't seeing....anything or anywone in there making this sound. A few minutes went by and all of a sudden one of the bedroom doors slammed very hard. It startled me, then it happened again, and then again. This time, my mother responded, so I knew she heard it too and she asked me who would be back there slamming the doors like that. I was leery about getting up to check, not knowing if it could be someone who would of broken into the house and trying to draw us to that back area. But I did, I finally got up and went to the kitchen and peeked around the corner into the hall....all I saw was my sister Juanita's bedroom door slightly open. I went back to the living roo and it dawned on me, that earlier in the day, I had walked past that area and took notice that Juanita's door was closed. Soon afterwards my twin sisters Rita and Regina showed up and it was a relief that someone else was there with us, even though the walking in the kitchen and the doors stopped slamming.
I was in the living room watching television. Judy was in the kitchen preparing dinner. All of a sudden, I saw as clear as day, the lady in white once again show up. At first, I thought it was someone just walking through my yard, past the picture window and towards the porch, until I got a better look. She appears as a woman, dressed all in white, from head to toe. I have to say that her attire is almost that of a nurse, because she seems to also wear a small white hat on her head. I called to Judy to come see if maybe I was mistaken and "maybe" someone were really walking up to the porch, but when she checked no one was there.
Everyday after school, Toni's kids walk home from school to Mama's house. After Toni and John get off work, they pick them up, which is usually between 5:30 and 6:00. Later that night, Mama was sitting on the couch, I was sitting at the table in the dining room, working a puzzle. Mama called me and asked if I knew where the little girl went. Thinking she was talking about Avalon, I asked her "You mean Avalon"? She said "No....the little girl that's been sitting over there" (Pointing towards the part of the sofa in front of the picture window). I told her that there wasn't a little girl....only Avalon, but she left hours ago. Mama insisted there had been a little girl sitting on the couch....and she figured the little girl was a friend of Avalon's. I again told her that there hadn't been any little girl at the house, other than Avalon. She again and very upset about it....told me that she was not losing her mind....she saw a little girl as plain as day, sitting on the sofa, very quiet....and she just figured the girl was a friend of Avalon's and when she saw the little girl get up and walk away, she couldn't figure out where the little girl had gone. It's apparent that Mama must of seen something. The weird thing is....only the day before, Kimberly was over visiting and said she had heard a child calling over and over "Mama". She thought it was one of her kids...but when she asked, no one said they had been calling her...and the day before that....she heard a child talking in her house and giggling. I wonder if the little girl followed her to Mama's house???? (See experience by Kimberly on this page)
When we were kids we shared the same bedroom. One night I woke up to the sounds of loud sirens blaring. I sat up to look, that's when I saw a man standing at the foot of my bed. He reached over and touched my foot. His hands were ice cold. He then walked over to my sister Becky and touched her leg. She also described his hands as being ice cold. Around the time we started screaming, he just vanished into thin air.
I was sitting out on the front porch. I was staring straight ahead, watching the intersection up the street. Suddenly out of the corner of my eye, I saw what I thought was my mother walk out the front door and onto the porch. I turned to look, but no one was there. I am positive, I saw someone walk out on the porch.
Becky and I were in the kitchen playing Yahtzee. It was around six in the evening. I began smelling perfume really strong....it was like someone had taken a bottle of it and just poured it out, that's how strong it was. I looked at Becky and said "Do you smell that perfume?" She looked back at me and replied "I'd been smelling it, you just started smelling it?" Well, I knew right then what perfume it was, it was the same exact perfume Becky said she'd smelled a few nights before.....Ben Hur....and the only person we know who wore that perfume, was my mother's best friend Mrs. Kirk, who lived across the street, and died about 15 years ago. I then got up very calmly and walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. All of a sudden, I smelled the perfume again and yelled out to Becky in the kitchen "Oh my God, she's in here with me....I smell her perfume on my shirt!"....so I yelled out loud "Mrs. Kirk, you have to leave us alone and go home.....Go home Mrs. Kirk....Go home!" I looked up at Becky sitting in the kitchen and she gave me a very dirty look, as if angry I was yelling at Mrs. Kirk, afraid I would upset her.....so she thought she'd be smart and yelled out "It's o.k, Mrs. Kirk, we know it's cold outside, so if you want to stay a while you can". All of a sudden Becky jumped up out of her chair and began screaming at the top of her lungs while she was dancing around, trying to wipe something off the front of her shirt....and she was yelling "Oh my God, she's on me, Oh my God, she's on me.....Get her off of me!" I didn't know what to say, what to do. When Becky finally stopped screaming and jumping around, I asked her what the heck was going on....and she said that after she yelled out to Mrs. Kirk, she began smelling the perfume on her shirt....she thought Mrs. Kirk was on her. We can laugh about it now, but at the time, it sure wasn't funny.
The Tuesday following Kimberly taking the pictures in Mama's house...I was over visiting. I was sitting in the dining room, working a puzzle at the table. Something caught my eye. I looked up and there were these blue looking circles, but transparent right near the ceiling. At first I thought it must be some sort of reflection from something, but then they moved. It's hard to explain what I saw. They were in one spot for about a minute and as I was looking at them, all intertwined and overlapping, they moved. Each circle moving by itself and then the others seemed to catch up to the others. I watched as these circles moved from one side of the dining room to the other. I even thought that maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me...but if that were happening, when I moved my eyes, the circles would of moved too....but sometimes they would stay in one spot and other times they would move to another area of the dining room. Not sure what I was seeing, I began calling Avalon. By the time she came, the circles were gone.
I was in the living room, dusting the shelf that's right above the sofa, where Mama was sitting. I accidentally bumped an apple figurine and it went tumbling down, narrowly missing my her head. Just then, I heard a man laugh. Before I could say anything, Mama asked if I thought it was funny that the apple just missed her head. I told her it wasn't me who laughed....and before I knew it, Avalon, who was in the kitchen, came flying into the living room, saying she just heard a man laugh. We were pretty upset about what we'd heard, so we all sat in the living room, all huddled together. Mama then asked what the light glowing in the dining room was. Avalon and I got up to see what she was talking about, only we couldn't see the light. Mama directed us over to the organ and kept telling me "A little over, a little bit more, a little bit more..." up until I reached a picture frame on top of the organ. Right when I got to the picture, she told me to forget it, the light disappeared. I looked to see what picture it was and it was a picture of one of my brother's Dallas, who passed away a few years ago. A little while later I was on the porch, talking to Toni on the phone, telling her what had happened....when she asked what the dog was barking about, she could hear it over the phone. I got up to check told Toni "You're not going to believe this....she's sitting on the floor in front of the recliner, barking like someone's sitting in it...only there's no one sitting there!"
