Ghosts: Do You Believe?

       Most people do not believe in ghosts or spirits. I, myself did not believe in such a thing either. That is until my husband and I moved our family into a house that we found for rent. Then things happened that changed my mind. Just let me explain.

      As I said, we found a house for rent. It was a lovely house in town. The neighborhood was nice and it was close to the school. The house itself was spacious and it had a fenced in yard. We were allowed pets, which was perfect because we had a dog and three cats. It seemed to be exactly what we were looking for, so we rented it. Soon after moving in things began happening.

      At first I noticed little things, such as the back door hanging wide open. Well, of course I would turn to the children and demand to know who left the door open. They would all sit and look at me and swear that they did not leave that door open. Then, I wwould be washing dishes and see someone out of the corner of my eye standing in the hallway, thinking it was one of the kids, I would turn to see what they wanted and nobody would be there. Also lights would come on by themselves and go off. All of this went on for about a year and I just ignored it. Then suddenly everything just got out of hand and I could not ignore things any longer. You see, my daughter started seeing ghosts in the house!

      One night my husband and I were in the living room watching TV. The kids had all gone to bed. All of a sudden my daughter came racing in the living room screaming and crying, she started telling us there was a man in her room!!!! My husband immediately jumped up and took off upstairs to her bedroom. When he got there he found nobody. He checked the whole house and checked the doors. He came back in the living room and asked my daughter what the heck was going on. By this time, I had her calmed down. She started talking and this is what she told us. She said ” A old man came in my room and he was kinda bald, he wore glasses and was hunched over a little bit . He walked over by my bed and stopped and just looked at me and then he disappeared ” My husband and I looked at each other. My goodness, what were we to say? My husband knew I had been seeing things in the house and now my daughter was seeing them too. We told her she was probably just dreaming. She insisted that she had been awake. She was scared to go back to her room so we fixed a bed for her on the couch and she slept there all night.
