Ghost Stories: Ghost of the Handy Man strong>
On March 13, 2007, some time about 2:00 a.m., I was lying on the couch in the living room and could not get to sleep. In my house we have a long hallway and hardwood floors, so if you step in the hall, it will echo. I just turned the TV off, hoping that I would be able to fall asleep. I finally fell asleep around 2:13. I awoke to find my cat, Poppy, on top of me, pawing at my face. Pushing him aside, I fell back asleep.
Around maybe 2:15, I awoke to find him pawing at me again. Thinking the cats ate all their food and me needing to go fill the bowl, I sat up. About to get up, I heard a strange noise coming from the hall. I slowly got up, thinking that maybe it was an intruder. Looking down, I saw Poppy and my other cat, Oreo, scratching the hallway door. So I sneaked over to the other couch and grabbed a fireplace poker. I slowly walked over to the door, and the cats seemed to get scared because they ran from the door. By that time the strange noise had been going on for three minutes.
I slowly opened the door, ready to strike whatever or whoever was in my hallway. I saw a strange gray figure in front of the heater at the end of the hallway. It looked to be a male about 50 years of age. It looked like he was working on it. He then rose from his sitting point and it looked like he put something in what looked like a tool belt. He wiped his hands and then turned and looked at me. I was scared, but being a stubborn person I stood my ground, fearing the worst. He then looked at me and smiled. He tipped his hat and vanished.
I looked down to see the cat growling and hiding behind the door. Scared out of my mind, I ran back the couch and hid under the blanket. I was not asleep and I promise it happened. I have always known ghosts were real and have always wanted to see one. I guess you gotta be careful what you wish for.
