Gloria Fritz's home in Whitehall hardly looks like a haunted house. Built in the early 1950s, the cozy two-story Cape Cod is more "Leave It to Beaver" than "The Munsters."Still, for the past eight years, the teacher, now 56, has experienced an amazing number of ghostly encounters within its walls. In addition to unexplained footsteps on the stairs and knocking on the doors, she's been awakened in the middle of the night by music and rattling and, even more spooky, the sounds of a motor running in her basement. At first, Fritz thought the house was simply settling. But other inexplicable events ultimately convinced her that someone -- or something -- was hanging around. The shadowy figure of a man appeared in her first-floor bedroom, along with a scampering neon-green light. An alarm clock would flip on at 3 a.m.

A shopping bag full of coffee went flying across the kitchen floor. Her teenage daughter, Gennie, also experienced it. Her bed would shake when she lay on it. A little ball of light, which she christened "Tinkerbell," would dance around her room. Eerie, music box-like music emanated from nowhere. "I wouldn't sleep in there for years," says Gennie, who now lives in Virginia.

This is a true story.. I believe in old houses bieng haunted, and people hanging around.. Here it goes with mine..

Staying in and old 1890 two story home across from a cemetary..

This is when I had my first experience.. I was in the library laying on a couch watching TV (Totally open mind).. When suddenly a stuffed animal jumps off the shelves where the books stack.. I got up off the couch thinking nothing of it, and put it back in place.. As I lay back and get settled on the couch, it happens again.. Now I'm starting to get edgy, but still thinking nothing of ghost.. I put it back the second time and head for the couch, which was about 5 paces from the shelf and chair.. This time I lay down and off it goes again.. Still with an open mind just talking in my head, I said to myself I'm not playing this F*UC*ING game and slammed the animal down..

This is when it happened..

I get back to the couch and lay down.. Suddenly the rocking chair started rocking like someone had just gotten out of it, right by where the animal was laying.. I suddenly got a slight chill, then a sudden coldness that I felt throught my entire body.. It's almost like presence went right into my body for a few seconds to feel the life within me.. I didn't see a ghost, outline or shadow, but I sure did feel somethings presence..

The funny thing that suprised me is that the owner of the home approached me the next day (Did she talk with her late husband that night??).. Before she even had to say anything I knew what she was there for.. She then informed me that her late husband is still around and that if I see anything strange not to be alarmed.. I wish she had told me this before I had the experience so I could have tried a little more communication with it..


Ever since my Grandmother has taken her last breathes in my hand, strange things have happened in my life.. I'm not special in anyway, or trying to seek fame or fortune.. This is for my own personal enjoyment while on this planet.. Hope you enjoyed the story..

Have you lived there a long time?And has anything happend since?

Have you guys noticed a transparent image behind her? Looks like a little girl or something!

Marrisa, looks like its just the shape of the pillow associated with the designs on the pillow...don't look too much into it

These two ladies have been running there web site ever since the demise of the Original Haunted Diaries site that brought me here in the first place . The site which eventually was debunked by some of the members on the board here .
I'm not saying that the houses these ladies live in arn't haunted , but in 3 years they haven't updated there Image gallery or even really added a great deal to the rest of the site .
Maybe that will change though with the little bit more trafic generated by this story .
As for the transparent figure in the background I though it looked like a lamp .

On the original Haunted Diary message boards, there were a few others who debunked the "original" Haunted Diary site. (See http://www.haunteddiary.com/background.html for more information on that) Our site has been up for two years and unfortunately, because Wilkes-Barre and Pennsylvania in general doesn't have any jobs, we have had to temporarily relocate, as the article mentioned I live in Virginia now. However, when things do happen at Genesta's house (my mother's house), we do mark it down on the site, and we did move her ghost cam recently to the cuckoo clocks due to the fact that an experience happened there. We also have been busy running our other website, which is of course the chat room, as well as the online community. Of course, it is up to you to decide whether or not our stories are real, but unfortunatly I won't be able to update my house when I am not living there. And yes, to the left in the far back behind my mother is a lamp
