Haunted House

 Have you ever felt haunted?

Have you ever felt that you were not living in your home 

ALONE?

Have you ever heard a noise that sounded like something fell

in the other room, but it did not?

Have you ever seen someone out of the corner of your eye?

Have you ever felt a presence? 

I have. 

You see years ago, after my divorce

 I wanted a fresh start for

the kids and I. I put my house up for 

sale and found another one.

My first owner home was a one level 

with an amazing back 

yard, fenced in but I felt that it 

was more then I needed. 

The one I bought was two stories 

and I thought that would be

great cause when the kids did not 

keep their rooms clean, no one

would know as they came in the house. 

We were not there long before 

I started to feel like I was

not always in the room alone.

 Then came the sounds.

There was a squeak in the 

floor just inside my 

bedroom door, very hard to 

miss, get around

or jump over. So it was really 

strange when the kids

and I were in the living room 

and we would hear

that squeak going into my room. 

After a point I 

would yell, "get out of my room,

" and Amber would 

freak! She would say, "Mom, 

don't piss it off"!

haha

By this time I had realized 

whatever was there was

not there to hurt us. But I was not 

uncommon to have

things that were sitting back on a 

shelve, come falling off.

Amber's room was above the kitchen

 and Amber said

she would wake all the time to 

someone "cooking"

in the kitchen. 

It was also not uncommon for 

me to see someone

out the corner of my eye. That someone

 was a woman

in a long dress. She would be there,

 then she

will be gone. Amber once saw 

a little boy in 

period clothes, sitting in 

the hall outside

the bedroom, playing. 

We could be sitting in the living 

room watching 

tv or playing games when loud 

crashes would come

from kitchen, I would go in there 

but all would

be in the correct place. 

One day a guy I was dating was 

there, laying on the 

couch watching tv when 

the table clothe

under the TV moved like someone 

walked in front of it. He looked 

up and looked at me, 

"did you see that"? HAHA...

Cory was so young that 

he never mentioned

anything he felt or saw. 

But Amber did not like

going in Cory's room for 

some odd reason. 

At night when I laid in bed, 

to the door

I would sometimes hear

 someone come

in the room. I would turn 

thinking it was

one of the kids only to not see 

anyone. But Amber

totally freaked one night 

when she was in her

bed and felt someone sit 

down on the other

side of the bed. Amber

 looked over and saw

the indent in the mattress. 

 Amber would come

home from school and part 

it in the living

room, no way would she go 

upstairs till I 

got home. 

One of my biggest issues with 

my roommate was

the missing remote control. 

Yep, it would come 

up missing all the time. I 

would turn furniture

upside down looking for it. 

Then a couple

of days later, there it would be

 sitting on the 

table like it had been there all the time. 

Things got worse when the 

kids moved out.

Cory was 12 when he went to 

live with his

dad and Amber moved out. 

The noise seemed

to be all over the place and 

loud when I 

would start to bed at night. 

After a few nights

of trying to sleep, I sat up in

 the bed and 

said, "Hey, I understand you 

are looking out

over me, I know you mean know

 harm...but I have

to work in the morning and you 

make it hard for me 

to get to sleep. I really need you to stop 

this, please."

And with that, it stopped. 

She was still there,

 I could feel her but the 

movement and noise let up. 

I do not know the history of the 

land there. I do know however

 that the property

used to belong to 

Pres. Andrew Jackson. 

Being that I had a creek that 

traveled right down 

the side of my drive, 

I figure it might have

at some point been untamed landed. 

Maybe settlers, which would explain

the clothes Amber and I saw.

Could have been

Indian land or at least

a spot where they traveled

through, since just a

 hop, skip and jump

away from us was part 

of the Trail of Tears.

Who knows....but I have 

lived where I felt 

I was not alone.
