House of Spirits

We moved into this home in 1980. I was 10. When we first moved in, we would hear loud whispering in the middle of the night - a woman and a man. You could almost make out what they were saying, but not quite. It would sound like the shower was running for long periods of time in the middle of the night. My parents would get up in the middle of the night to see about this, but of course nothing was going on.


After several years of this, more things would happen. One day we were going to church. We couldn't find a brush anywhere in the house! My sister had one in her car, which we used. Upon returning from church, there were all the brushes in the bathroom, all lined up in a perfect line. Then around 1985 my parents starting seeing a figure of a teen girl with long blond hair going from one room to another. Around this time, in the middle of the night, all the electronic toys we had, would come on; whether they were dolls or trucks they would come on at the same time at around 1 a.m. Then the whispering would start again.

We have seen a large male figure, a blond teenage girl, approximately 18, thin, and a boy, around age 2-3. The male seems mean. He has spoken to my sister-in-law saying, "You need to get on outta here." This past summer he also spoke to my four-year-old son. We were visiting, and my husband awoke to find my son in the hallway, sitting there. He asked, "What are you doing?" Our son said, "That man said, 'Come on, come on...' " My husband asked, "What man?" He said, "The man with the big gun like I got." My husband, thinking a man was breaking in, investigated. He asked my son again what happened. He said a man in a blue and red shirt with buttons (a uniform perhaps?) said to him, "Come on, come on" in a whisper, and he got up to go with him, and when he came in here (the living room) he saw another man with feathers like a bird go up, but it wasn't the same man.

Several minutes later, my husband saw someone in the door of his room looking at him, but he couldn't see who it was, and then he heard groceries being put down in the kitchen, (we hear that a lot). Needless to say, my husband stayed awake all night. I personally have felt someone sitting on my bed, then getting up. I have heard cabinets and drawers in the kitchen being slammed open and shut. I've seen a toddler running through the kitchen at night, thinking it was my sister's boy. It wasn't. My sister has seen a gruff-looking man in the window of my parent's room looking out at us while we had the kids outside, and my mother has felt a heavy man lay on her around 5 a.m. She said she could breath, and he was squeezing her hand and pressing himself on her.

The strangest thing happened several years ago. My sister had a sense of being watched and got scared. She said she felt something evil in her room. She said, "Jesus, Mary and Joseph, stand by me," and she heard a loud pop, and saw a smoke figure go out her window, and she had a smell of sulfur fill her room. Then she felt a calmness when the fog left. Most recently, my dad felt a little hand, like a child's, run on his arm. He got startled and he heard a little giggle. He was alone.
