Do you think this is scary?

Question

Please tell me what you think of this, it happened to me about 3-4 years ago.



This is a long one and yes it really happened. I am now 20 and live in a dorm at New York University, but when I was maybe 16 or 17 something happened that I can't forget. First let me fill you in on the details. When my parents got married they lived in my dad's condo here in NYC, but my mom was a country girl and when her parent's died she wanted to move into their house in the country in upstate New York. It is a beautiful Victorian house in the woods about 5 miles from anyone, and it's gothic. My grandparents loved this house and mom wanted to keep it. So they moved into the house and had 3 kids, one is me of course. Nothing real strange about the house started happening until I was about 16 or 17, and only that one time...so far. I was in my bedroom and my parent's had gone out for their anniversary. My brother wasn't home because he was staying with his best friend, Tod. Tod and him were real close, not in a gay way though. It was just me and my sister, Julianna, at home. It was about 9p.m. Not late, but it was dark. To beat it all it started raining and lightning and the lights started blinking. So Julainna ran to my room and said that she wanted to stay with me. She was pretty young then. I told her it would be okay so I lit some candles and turned the blinking lights off. She calmed down and she helped me study for a music test that I was going to have the next day at school. Then after she had calmed down completely I took her to bed-around 9:45. It was still raining hard. So I kept studying and after I got finished with the music book I decided to try some pieces that my music teacher told us to study. It was very boring, so I started improvising and I made the piano vibrate cause I sometimes get roused up in the music. Then I heard my glass of water, or apple cider or whatever it was, fall. I thought that it fell because of the piano's vibrating, but it was on my nightstand on the other side of the room. I brushed it off. But I had to take the broken glass downstairs to the kitchen garbage. On my way upstairs I saw my sister had gotten out of bed and was in the family room cozed by the fire. She knew not to light the fire by herself, but she told me that she didn't lit it, but I knew that we were the only ones in the house. I thought that she was lying, but I said nothing and went back upstairs. Then on my piano stand that holds music I seen the Turkish March by Mozart, I knew it wasn't mine. So I went downstairs and asked Julianna and she said it wasn't hers-I thought she was lying. So I put the fire out and told her to go to bed. She said okay and as she went up the stairs, I went in the kitchen to get some water. Then as I went upstairs again I saw that the music had been taken. I knew it wasn't her this time. When my parents got home I told them about it and mom said that the Turkish March was her dad's, my grandfather's, favorite piece. She thought I was playing a trick on her of course. Then as I was going to my bedroom I looked at our family picture. my grandfather was in it holing a piece of music, I never noticed it before because it was so small. I looked real close and seen the music he was holding was by Mozart. I thought "Oh Brother!" I was kindly scared, but not hysterical. I didn't sleep that much that night. The next day in school I sat near an open window in music class because I was hot- I get hot easily. Before the test the teacher said we could take a few minutes to look over the text. The wind blew and turned my books pages to the chapter about Mozart. Then a few seconds later it turned it to the one about Haydn(a classical composer). The thing about Haydn is that his first name was Joseph, and Joseph was my grandfather's first name. It made me wonder. I kept it to myself, who would believe have believed it?! So was it a coincidence? Was it just the wind? Was it my sister playing a trick on me? Then, a few days later or so, I remembered that Julianna told me that she didn't turn the fire on the other night when it happened. I asked her who did it, and she said that that never happened that she never went to the family room and that she never left her bedroom after I tucked her in. To this day, I don't like to listen to Mozart that much!

Oh and it wasn't all in my head. I am not schitzophrenia, or however it's spelt, because it's only happened once. With that disease it occurs a lot. I know because my mom is a asylium nurese supervisor and my dad is a dr.

Answer 1

i think if it was your grandfathers ghost he was just trying to let you know hes around thinking about you and wanting you to study your music harder,be better,and do some of the ones he enjoyed,thats all dont be afraid,it sounds calm enough.

Answer 2

Well, I have known certain individuals who like playing games with peoples heads. Sometimes they pretend to be some relative.Usually these just like to scare people because they have a twisted sense of humor.If you don't have these people there than maybe you do have alternate personalities or DID.You might also be possessed by your grandfather or some other playful spirit.The episode sounds rather tame compared to some things though.For the hell of it read up on Mozart and this particular piece of music, it might have some clues hidden within. Usually most spirits wouldn't have the kind of control over physical things like you've written about. Maybe you're just practicing your writing skills on Yahoo? At least I read the whole thing. One certain thing bothers me. You seemed to write about certain details yet you weren't sure what was in the glass? Have an ICE day.

Answer 3

It think that it would be scary, i get really jumpy when the lights go out. I also think that Mozart is really common in music classes and Joseph is common period, but the fire being lit is REALLY creepy, but its a comforting gesture. I think that if its a ghost, its a nice one.

Answer 4

That was a lot to read. Yeah I would have been spooked too. But I don' t believe it was your grandfather's spirit though. Probably a trick.

Answer 5

It sounds like something like that crossover show. According to the Bible we sleep when we die, so I am inclined to believe that the devil and/or his demons were playing with your head. In these days, they do it to many people.

Answer 6

Holy cow that is like the creepiest story I've heard in a while!

Answer 7

Whoa too scary to be true.If you ask me,your house may be haunted...or maybe some kind of revenge...

Answer 8

I wouldn't find that too scary. U would wonder if my Grandpa was trying to say something to me.

Answer 9

I think that would be kind of scary
