Here are
some stories from people who have lived in the
house:
¨
1998 (From Owner) –
I saw a small boy in a grey and red flannel
shirt. He seemed to be playing peek-o-boo with
me by hiding around the corner between the
kitchen and living room. I thought it was my son
so I pounced around the corner. To my surprise,
there was no one there – and my son was fast
asleep on the
couch.
¨
1998 (From Owner) –
A fan was thrown 10 feet from the living room to
the sitting
room.
¨
Prior to 1998 (Previous
Owners) – A picture that was in the
sitting room was found laying face down in the
middle of the room - over
and over
again.
¨
Prior to 1998 (Previous
Owner) - On
numerous occasions, I would wake up to find my
(deceased) father standing at the foot of my
bed. This has not happened since I moved out of
the house. I will never step foot in that house
again.
¨
2002 (From Renter) –
I saw a black “orb” floating from one room to
another. I was so scared – I took a broom and
chased it. All the time I was yelling for it to
leave. I opened all the windows and the front
door. It floated down the stairs and out the
front door. I never saw it
again.
¨
2004 (From
Renter) – I woke up one night to find a
man standing by my bed. He leaned down and
pinned my arms to my bed. I screamed at him to
go away – and he
disappeared.
¨
Current Owner - The
master bedroom is always 10-15 degrees colder
than any other room in the house. I have tried
numerous methods to keep it warm but nothing
worked. I finally gave up and moved my
room.
If you look at the
pictures, you will see a picture of my cat and
some sort of "energy" in front of him. When I
took the picture, there was nothing there but my
cat - the spectre only showed up on film. This
type of phenomena is common in haunted
houses
These are just of few stories from
eyewitnesses.
We invite you to come see for
yourself!
