When we moved into our brick Gothic house, it seemed
spooky but cool. A day hadn't gone by before we heard the first of
what was a five year haunting.
We were in the library working on refinishing an old desk that was
left in the house, when suddenly we heard footsteps clomp across the
room above and a shut door. I went up to investigate and there was
nothing up there that I could see. Since that time the hauntings
became more frequent, a drywaller would not come back into the house
unless I was with him. His tools kept disappearing and the bathroom
faucets turned on by themselves. We never saw an apparition but we
did hear whistling and talking and lights would go on and off.
There were several times I would come home from work and find my wife on the
front steps too scared to go back into house. The "cat lady" who
lived across the street would watch our cats when we would be out of
town, she is nun who runs here own business. Well, she would hear
loud noises and banging whenever we left. She said it was
terrifying! The girl who rented the back apartment from us, came to
me one day and asked if the house was haunted. I asked her why and
she told me the radio would come on by itself and be tuned to an
opera station. It is a very bazaar house, we ended up selling it
because the spirit or whatever it is, started bothering the
children.
