was no one there who I could physically see.
Apparition First; Rumour Second
It was daytime, and my husband and I were getting ready to go somewhere. I was sitting in the living room, looking down the hall. I saw a man standing at the end of the hall, outside the bedroom where my husband was getting ready.
The man was dressed in a black coat and hat, like they wore in the 1950's and '60's.
His form was solid, and he was looking down the hall at me. Then he vanished.
I later learned that a man, named… who always dressed like this, had owned the house years ago and was rumoured to still haunt the house.
Since I heard that rumour after I saw the apparition, I believe it to be correct.
From My Childhood
When I was young I always got very strong impressions; I guess they were like spirits but I'm not entirely sure.
I HATED school, and it was starting to affect me physically. Then, I started sensing a woman, sometimes others were with her, who would tell me it was ok, and to not feel stressed and worried, etc.
She wore clothes like robes and cloaks that were beautiful; they were purple and white and gold mostly. I never actually SAW her, but I'm positive of what I sensed.
I finally told my mom, and she said she didn't know what it was, but to remember that bad spirits can appear as good spirits.
I started to wonder whether maybe this lady was a demon in disguise and the lady got really angry, and so I told my mom again because I was scared. She never did come back, and she was one of the only spirits I ever really knew and recognized. It wasn't long after that I started my teen years and I can't really sense as much anymore.
A Full House
We moved into a terraced house with six children and everything was fine until about six months into our stay.
My bed was up against an old blocked off fireplace. I woke one night to hear a toddler screaming "daddy, daddy". Our next-door neighbors were three young college students (this is where the crying was coming from). The next morning I went to ask if they had a little one in there; they looked at me as if I was crazy. To cut a long story short, I said I would come knocking if I heard it again and inform the authorities because they shouldn't have a little one in the premises. This experience happened twice.
Then, other things occurred like radios coming on by themselves at full volume; things would go missing only to turn up in the most unusual places weeks later. I also had the impression that I was being watched and that was scary for me because I was normally on my own.
All of my children had experiences that scared the heebie geebies out of them. My only daughter was the most affected by night-time visitors. We heard footsteps and saw dark shadows that came from the side of the wardrobe in my bedroom.
My two dogs would come upstairs with me if I wanted time out on my own to read a book. One night the dogs stood up on the bed growling and following something at ceiling height; the dogs weren't scared but I was. I ran down the stairs to tell my hubbie what I had seen but he would never go and investigate because he knew we had these visitors.
All this stuff went on for about eighteen months and yet I never had the feeling that I had to move. I learned not to be scared of what was going on, and the occurrences finally abated. Then, we moved house about a year later.
Having the Time of Their Lives
Okay, this also took place in Louisiana, but in a different town.
I had moved in with my dad and his girlfriend. We lived on a 3 or 4 mile, long dirt road and about halfway along there was a cemetery above ground, you know the type? My family and good friends of family were the only ones who lived on that road.
Anyway, I would always slip to buy cigarettes from a store and in order to get there I'd have to walk past the cemetery,
