Im not sure.
Theres houses nearby and my friend in grade school said that one of three was haunted by a dog like bad spirit.
5 years later my best friend at the time said the area was haunted, he lived down the street a field over and his whole family described a guy in flannel with a beard .
these two never knew each other.
years later I lived in the house next door
A girl who did not know these storys came running out of the kitchen and said she saw a ghost outside and he was old and had a beard.
many people lived in the haunted house but none stayed to long and most said there was a spooky feeling there. one family I knew and the girl was freaked out about it and wanted out NOW and she had only been there a few weeks. She also decribed a rough looking older guy.
Once when it was not occupied i took a girl over for fun and to drink some beer stay the night and build a fire in the firplace. Ok so I got the fire going and went next door to get the beer and left the girl there. The house was 50' away from the one where the cold beer was at. i went back and there the girl was rolling on the ground screaming and crying uncontrollably hysterical is a better word. I pinned her down and held her shoulders and made her stop screaming and told her it was alright. She cried and sobbed for a hour, thought we were going to have to slap here. She described that i had ran through it and stopped the attack. She stated it was like a tore up dog but small human sized with arms and two finger hands. She said it held her down and she could feel it forcing here down. i think she had mental health issues but she decribed a simular story I had heard 15 years before.
Whats weird here is I grew up in the area, its out in the country and kind of isolated. Not one person ive stated knew what I did. This was not common knowledge about town.
So back to the start, Do I believe in ghost. I dont think so, i dont know.
I live in a house older then a hundred years now and theres a walk under basement thats kind of outdoorsy lol its not a sealed basement. there is a sink down there and in it on one side is a piece of tombstone, it was there when i moved in and I never thought nothing of it. A few months after i moved in I started hearing pipes rattleing at night and bumps and almost like doors slamming. I yelled out OK OK ill go and bury the tombstone piece, one night in bed. the noises stopped for like two weeks. It was skunks lol
they get under there and mate and make a heck of a racket lol For a couple weeks there I was really thinking I may have to call the ghost busters so i could get some sleep lol. They come back almost yearly so now I know
the peice of tombstone [a broken cross] is still in the sink after 14 years i havnt touched it.
