Hello, I have a short story to share. I’m Vietnamese and was born in Vietnam. My father fought in the Civil war with the U.S. After the U.S. force withdrew, the communists imprisoned my father for seven years. During the time, my mom had to take care of three kids (I was not yet born) under the tight economy. Working extremely hard to raise money and kids, she had very little time to do the regular chores. So, my mom often performed these tasks at night when all my siblings are deeply asleep at night.
Our house had a built bathroom outside the backyard. We had a well in the backyard and a small outdoor tub next to the well for bathing.
One night, she was washing the kids clothes right next to the well where she retrieved the water from. There was no light. We were poor and could not afford too much electricity. So, my mom relied on the moon for lighting. Approximately 15 feet from her was the entrance to the toilet. As she was working hard, her mind was just blank and wanting to get the duties done. When you’re too busy, you can be oblivious to your surroundings. But, her emotional state was interrupted with an indescribable feeling that she was being watched. The hair in the back of her head just felt like if they stood upward. She felt awkward and looked up.
Once she did, she saw two heads from the toilet door (door widely opened) looking at her. It looked as though two people from inside of the toilet were sticking their heads outside in the moonlight to look at her. She described that their teeth were white, but she could not make out the face. She was shocked and went right inside the house.
Years later, after my father was released and I was born, we did a small renovation on the toilet that required some digging. The workers discovered two skeletons that were buried some centuries ago. I had some memory of the house, but I have never had any spiritually experience (thanks God). Nonetheless, my parents always told me that our house was haunted, and that no one could live it in. We couldn’t sell it because no one would buy it. They said that the ghost became tolerant of our presence and not others.
This is only one of the supernatural events that my mom discussed after we moved to America. Knowing my mom for all my life, I highly doubt the possibility that my mom made these stories up.

are you sure it was not just an animal, or a delusion due to fatigue?
and i hope all is well now
the skeletons were that old? i wonder why they didn’t find them before. pretty creepy!!
hey…..thats creepy…i believe your story….
i dont know about that one! it happened real quick, and only once, and she was under so much stress and it could have just been her mind playing tricks on her. coincidence that years later skeletons were discovered there…..but you know, there are plenty of places where if you dig around you could find a skeleton anywhere in the world pretty [email protected]
I believe that she saw something. While it may be possible that it was something due to fatigue, as was mentioned, but I definitely believe that she saw something.
The discovery of the two skeletons is especially intriguing. I have heard from others who have described seeing apparitions, only to find out that beneath their homes were the graves of a forgotten cemetery.
Has your mother ever mentioned having any seemingly unexplainable events since moving to America? And thank you so much for sharing your experience…it was very well written!
i agree with scarygirl 67.that your mom saw something.it could be possible that she could of seen what see seen.thats scary about the bones.did they ever find out whos they belong to,and what happened to the two?if you know or find out for me.just curious.thanks for the story.
I sent in a story, it isn’t posted yet, about my grandparents house, They actuallly buried the bones and got rid of the activity. Did your folks bury the bones or say a prayer over them. Good story Thanks
um in their story it is said that the mom saw the two heads before the discovery of the bones
