The earliest story comes from when my sister moved back home from Toronto with her young son. My brother and younger sister were also still living at home at the time. We put my sister up in the laundry room on a foldup bed until she could find a place to live. That night when she was sleeping, she awoke to feel someone stroking her hair. she didnt dare move or reach above her to turn on the light!
Her son was only little and he bunked in with me on the floor of my bedroom on a spare mattress. He said that he saw shadowy figures on the ceiling of my bedroom and that really spooked me as I had not felt anything in my room...?
Another time my younger sister was at home with my mum and she said she saw the spirit of an old man sitting in the chair on the basement living room and ran upstairs very upset and told my mum. when she went down there was nothing there. Interestingly though, the basement used to be an apartment and there was a gentleman that lived in the basement. He died long before we bought the house but we do not know if he died in the house or not.
Another time my younger sister was alone looking after the house while we were away and she said all the cushions were off the front living room sofa and on the floor! Another time she came into the kitchen and all the kitchen cupboards were open?
I was sitting at our kitchen table and to my right was the backdoor of the house and to the left was the hallway like a letter T that went up and then left and right. To the right on the hall was the bathroom door, to the left was the hall to the stairs. I saw somethiong out the corner of my eye and it was an older lady in a long victorian type black dress come out of the bathrom door and walk down the hall.
Another time mum was sat in the living room and where our tv is, there is a small hatch into the kitchen. She said she was watching tv and she saw a dark figure walk in the backdoor and through into the hallway as if he was going to come into the living room!
Many a time my mum has "sensed" someone being with her in the basement and when she looked there was noone there. A couple of weeks ago, she was in the basement doing laundry and she saw someone come down the stairs and go into the workshop area she thought it was dad or me but we do not own bright colored overalls!
Any time we go away, our neighbor over the back always watches the house for us. We tell him who is coming to look after the house(which sister etc and car). Well this has happened a few times in that he has seen someone in a red sweater come into the back kitchen and walk past the window. When he has seen this, my sisters have not been at the house that day...!
Lastly our backdoor has a set of windchime bell type things that sound like small cow bells. Anyways I was laying in bed the other morning contemplating getting up when I heard the back door open and the bells go and a "Hellooo"! I got up and looked immediately out my window as it overlooks the front yard and walkway/driveway but noone was there! I went downstairs and the door had both security locks on from the night before.
It was not possible that it was any of our family as my parents were away camping and it was early in the morning!
We found out after being in the house many years, that there used to be a cemetary across the street. The moved all the bodies when it became a public park but during road construction, there was a body discovered from that ime period.
I was just trying to be helpful.
sorry to hear.
