Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Having had my previous experiences printed here and currently living in an army defense home, where I can’t really have my problem with an entity we have christened “Kevin” solved by a defense maintenance call (see previous stories) I find people now tend to volunteer to tell me their paranormal ‘stories’.

These were told to me by a woman I catch the bus with this morning.

My friend and her husband were preparing a BBQ in the house they only lived in a few months. Her husband was a skeptic, where my friend was more open minded. She had felt the house was a touch ‘weird’ since moving in but the husband thought her feelings were all a lot of phooey and dismissed them!

As he stood outside on the veranda working at the BBQ he felt a tug on his shirt, thinking it was his wife he turned and realized he could see her preparing salad in the kitchen. Thinking he was mistaken he continued cooking the steaks. When the tug came a second time he was a bit more certain and looked around the spacious garden and realized he was certainly quite alone.

The third time the tug came he started to think it felt like a child, as an adult would have tapped him on the shoulder.

The fourth time the tug was quite urgent, like that of a frustrated child whom had been ignored. The husband lost it at that point and turned everything off and went inside and my friend had to finish the steaks in the fry pan.

They had noticed that there were scorch marks in the carpet in a circle and neighbours confirmed previous tenants had sat in a circle with candles and chanted.

My friend confided she never felt comfortable in the house and made her husband give up his routine nightly gym visits, as she could not stand the thought of being alone in that house at night.

My friend confirmed she was also eventually told a previous male tenant had gone berserk in the house and stabbed a number of his friends before being arrested.

Needless to say as soon as their 6 month lease was up they were out of there!
