Answer 2

Did you know that Abraham Lincoln's ghost is said to haunt the White House? This is not a haunted house, but experience!

I was walking home one evening and down a stretch of road of about a quarter mile I seen a crowd of colonial dressed people carrying torches and disappear in a few seconds. This was in Massapequa, Long Island, New York where most of the area were formerly potato fields in the earlier 1700's and later with the battle of Long Island with small indian villages scattered about.

Last year I was doing my typical work on the upper east side of Manhattan during daylight hours and there were the usual urban noises except what sounded like a very low crackle sound. As I was walking down a little further on York Avenue near the East River and noted a plaque on the cornerstone of a bank that stated this area is an historical site (over 50% of NYC is by the way), where Benedict Arnold was hung for being a tory by the English. Could that have been a tree branch? Where there are no "current" trees. It may have been either: my imagination,deja vue, Benedict or "the tree".

My real question is why all these very quick here and gone "figments" and only "colonial" related? I have no real interest in that era.

Answer 3

I live in a haunted house. I have 11 acres of land that used to be part on a very large cotton plantation in Texas. There are slaves buried on my land. I don't know if that's who is haunting me or not, but I assume it is.
I hear foot steps upstairs all the time. My animals will sit at the bottom of the stair case and stare up and growl. There are times when we will come home and all the lights and T.V.'s will be turned on.
The most disturbing thing that ever happened was once we came home to find one of my cats locked in the upstairs bathroom, in the bathtub with the sliding shower doors closed, the bathtub was plugged and the water was running. The water was up to my cats chest and he had no way to escape.
I know that the bathroom door was shut when we left home because we were in the process of remodeling that room so we always shut the door to keep the animals out. As there were holes in the walls, etc where they could get into and possibly fall.
I also know that there was no way the cat could close the sliding doors, plug the bathtub, or turn the water on. I was totally freaked out after that happened.

In England, my grandmother had a 500 year old farm house that she converted in to a school and living quarters. The rumour in the village was that it was haunted by a ghost the villagers called The Green Lady, because she wore a green dress. Most members of my family had encounters with her at some time or the other. My Grandmother saw her at the foot of the bed when my Grandfather passed away.
I spent a lot of time at the house as a child and would hear furniture being moved around in the attic and see flashes of light in doorways.

Answer 5

When I was a child and lived in West Creek New Jersey. We lived in an old Victorian house that was haunted by an elderly lady. I could not see her but could feel her watching me. My mother could see her and described her to me. The lady wore a long black dress and an upswept hairdo. She was an older woman and she told my mother that she was looking for the pictures of her son Ephiram. My mother was unnerved to say the least and ask our landlord about the history of the home. The home was built in the early 1900's for this lady as a wedding present. Her son, as a young man, was killed in the living room of the home. We moved with in a few months of living there. The home is still there and is owned by a school teacher. I went to West Creek, New Jersey in 1998 but couldn't find the home. The landlord we had, passed away many years ago but I did speak with the school teacher before we ever went to New Jersey. It was a creepy experience.

Answer 6

Well, my husband and kids all had experiences in a house where we lived that scared the hell out of em, but I only had one experience where I could see a shadow of someone who wasn't there and a coolness filled the room.

When we moved out, my son was in the house with a friend trying to get his stuff out and they found a crucifix that got tossed into a pile of stuff. They left the room and upon return the crucifix was on top of the pile and stuff was strewn all over the place. Neither one of them ever went back into the house again!

Also neighbors reported seeing lights on after we vacated and then saw the lights go out as they watched. No one was there tho! (Well I guess someone was!)

My son used to wake me in the night saying he could hear voices and noises in his closet. I would tell him it was a tree branch hitting the side of the house. Today I feel awful for dismissing it that way-he was more frightened that I realized. He would usually sleep on the floor in my room tho instead of having to go back to his room.

Answer 7

Yes i have been in a haunted house and it was freaky. You could be in different rooms of the house alone and the radio would come on, or the lights- honestly. One night i was in the library getting a book off the shelf with my back to the whole room started feeling like i wasn't alone, and them the temperature in the room just plummeted. I was off the stool i was standing on and out of that room in a heart beat. When i told my hostess she said that was the room she felt the most presence in too.

Answer 8

I lived in one. Once you got use to them it was o.k. There was this one spirit that would scare me. He looked more life like than the others. I would be in the living room,and see him standing in the door way, when you looked at him, he would walk though the room and then the door(that was closed). It got so if anyone would see him something bad would happen with in a week or two.

Answer 10

I had one under my bed for years. I didn't mind initially cos he did not disturb my family. But it started waking me up at 3.30am every night and moving my things around. So I installed a couple of holy objects in my room. Since then it has not made its presence.

Answer 11

Once when I was home alone, I heard a door in the house shut. When I went to see which door it was, no door had been moved.
