Ghosts?


I know everybody is wanting to know, Do We Have GHOSTS?? YES! During the first months that we bought the house and during our first visits, we had several encounters. The first night I stayed ALONE in the house, I slept ( or at least tried to) in a recliner in the middle of the room with a very small t.v. that I had borrowed, sitting on a small table in front of me. Lulu, our dog, was right by my side on the floor. About 2a.m. in the morning I hear her in another bedroom growling in a low growl that I've never heard her do before. All of the hair along her backbone was standing straight up! This happened every time she was there ALWAYS at 2a.m., in the morning. On another occassion I was sleeping in the room where Lulu was and there was a lamp on the table next to the bed and I felt something pass between me and the light. Lulu doesn't go with us every time and on an occassion when she wasn't there we had shut our bedroom door, at 2a.m. one of the blinds in our room FLEW off the window, I guess they didn't like us closing our door! Ellen our son Austin's girlfriend was sleeping one night and felt someone sit on the bed next to her, and our daughter Ashton ( her room is the most haunted room) felt the presence of a man pacing back and forth all night in her room. Needless to say she will not sleep alone when she is there!


We also had a few months when everytime we went to the house there were bats!! The first one was dead on the floor, but that night we had been out and when we entered the house there was a bat FLYING around! Mark and Austin chased it into a garbage bag and released it outside. Ellen and I were laying on the kitchen floor! On another occasssion we were eating lunch in the dining room ( we had not shared these bat stories with Ashton, afraid that she would not visit the house again) and Ashton was sitting eating and looked at the window and said "What's That?" and Yes, it was a bat hanging upside down from the curtains!! haha..... We found several more dead ones, one I kept in a jar! I finally had had enough and thought I'd talk to the ghosts and see if they could help....I'm NOT kidding. So I sat down in the most haunted room upstairs and explained to them how much I loved the house and really didn't mind them being there, but could they please help get rid of the bats......I'm NOT kidding when I tell you we have not had a bat since!!!!

I am very afraid of ghosts sister so now I know to NEVER go in Ashton's room.
