Really interesting site. We had a ghost living with us for
a few yrs. I have no idea why he moved on - just left one day.
He would only come in when the weather turned cold. In the
summer months he stayed in my son's fort in the backyard. You
see, my son's fort was built from the burnt ruiens of Al's home.
I never dreamed that the day the inspiring 7 yr. olds decided to
build a fort - that they would drag the charred lumber from the
ruiens of the old house that had burned. Old man Al, died in that
house. Some of the fun things that happend, thank God we have
witnesses; my in-laws were staying with us briefly; our television
would go on anytime he felt like watching t.v. The remote would
prove useless - the only way you could turn it off was to unplug
it from the wall. I didn't see this, but I heard the conversation
from the other room, when my husband got up to make coffee one
morning; my mother-in-law was sitting at the table; believe it or
not, without doing a thing (like magic) the coffeemaker made two
cups of coffee by itself that morning. Just as my husband reached
to remove the glass pot to fill it --- it began dripping with coffee.
My mother-in-law squeeled like you've never heard before. My husband
laughed and laughed, couldn't believe it. However, Al had pulled many
shenanigans previously, so we just blamed this one on him too. One
night we sat and listened to him make himself a sandwich. Another
time, I was blow drying my hair and he just yanked the blow dryer out
of my hands. I knew when he was in the room because I'd immediately
think, "who opened the window?" Always on arrival to the window, I'd
find it closed. This would be in the winter months, so you can imagine
how cold the air would get. He did the usual other things - open and
closed doors, typical ghost stuff. I guess he moved in with us when his
house burned, because I was the only one that he liked in the neighborhood.
The neighbors use to tease me, "why does that old guy talk to you?" He
talked to me because I showed an interest in his life. So it was only
natural, I guess, that when the weather got bad and he needed to come in-
side, it was our house he chose. I can't help but wonder though, where and
when he left. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Lol,
More than you ever wanted to know, huh?
