Reports of Strange Occurrences
History:
Ø It is known and documented from speaking with neighbors; the previous owners were an older couple who both passed away in the house. The husband was fond of smoking a pipe. The wife was fond of roses. So much that she grew rose bushes in the yard and often wore rose scented perfume.
Ø The current family, who have been living in the house for a decade, often report smelling strong odors roses and/or a pipe being smoked. Neither the current husband or wife smoke or have rose scented perfume in the house.
o One morning the husband woke up early and went outside to the shed. The wife woke up feeling her husband get back into bed with her, and feel a hand touch her shoulder. Thinking her husband was back in bed, she closed her eyes and shortly after heard the back door open and close. Once she realized it was her husband who just came in the house, she quickly turned around to see no one in bed with her.
o Late one night, the wife and kids were in bed, and the husband had fallen asleep in the front room. He woke up to what he thought was one of his children standing in the entry from the hallway to the front room. He asked his “son” why he was still up. The figure slowly disappeared in front of him.
o Early in the morning, the husband was running late for work. He ran outside to get in the car and realized he hadn’t grabbed the keys to the car. He went back in the house and grabbed the keys and went to open the door to go back outside. He couldn’t open the door. The door was not locked, but as much as he pulled on it, it would not open. He then yelled at the “ghost” to stop fooling around, he had to get to work. At that moment, he tried the door, and it opened right up.
o The family often hears footsteps down the hallway toward the bedrooms. Pictures are often moved on the wall.
