Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

When I first moved into this house, I was 5. I didn’t know a thing about this place. But as soon as I got older… I couldn’t help but listen in to my mother’s conversations about the house. I heard her say that on the first day sleeping at the house that a sound had woken her up so she had sat up and saw an elderly woman staring at her angrily. My mother had gotten terrified and slid her head back under the covers.

A couple weeks later she told my sister about it and then later admitted to have seen the same woman when she took a tour of the house in the exact same room. And then I researched my house’s history and found out something terrifying that would scar me for life.

That old woman turned out to be the past owner’s wife. She had died in my mom’s room of a sudden stroke. And there has also been doors that open and close at random times and my mom said that I used to see a man go inside my brother’s room and smile at me. Turns out that man wasn’t my brother… but the old woman’s grandson who died in a motorcycle accident coming to visit his grandmother’s house but never even made it through the door.

And a couple Christmases ago… my mom was in the kitchen making the Christmas ham. She started to wash the dishes looking out the window when she asked my sister a question and my sister didn’t answer back. My mom turned around only to see the same elderly woman smiling then disappearing in the hall. And that was the last time we ever saw her ever again.
