Strange Dresser

This story took place about 8 years ago when I was helping a friend move into an apartment. We had just about everything moved in and I was coming in with the last load of boxes when this old dresser caught my eye.

It was located in the small hallway leading to the living room. It was certainly an antique and I told my friend that the people who lived here before would surely come back and get it. As we were placing things throughout the apartment I was always drawn to this dresser, and had become aware that when I was near it I would get a very sad feeling. Never gave it much though till later that night.

Joni and I were sitting in the living room watching tv when there was a knock at the door. Sitting closer to the the door, I got up to answer it, but on my way there I stopped dead in front of the dresser. For a second I thought I had seen someone sort of lying on it. Brushing it away I answered the door. It was a friend who had come to help out, now that everything was done! Anyhow nothing else transpired throughout this night.

The following day the owner of the building came to see how things were going . I asked him who had lived here before us. He replied that a young girl had been living here for about two years. I then asked about the dresser, saying I was sure they would be back to get it as I knew it was antique and probably worth a lot. He smiled and said "No I don't think so, you see the young girl who owned this dresser committed suicide and that dresser there is right where they found her. She was lying half way on it. Family don't want it so I decided to just leave it here".

Well you can imagine the hair on my head was standing. I had seen her lying partly on there. My friend and I asked for this dresser to be removed and once it was, there was never anymore disturbances felt there. If anyone has a similar experience I would like to hear from you.
