My Son's Ghost
by Jayne K.

We no longer live in this house, but about 10 years ago we had just moved into a new house. The first night we spent there we were getting into bed and heard a huge crash. It sounded like a heavy dresser or something had crashed to the floor. My husband (baseball bat in hand) and I (shaking with fear) got up to see what had happened. We searched the whole house and couldn't find anything. We went to bed thinking, "What the heck?"

Soon after this I began having recurring dreams where an old man was trying to strangle me. I would wake up gasping and sometimes I would be in the act of trying to hide under the blankets when I would wake up and realize that I was just having another dream. Anyway I didn't think that much about it until a few months later. My three year old son was playing with his Legos on the coffee table right in front of me. He stopped suddenly and I could see him following something with his eyes. Then he turned his head and looked down the hall. I asked him what he was doing and he said, "Looking at that old man that went into your bedroom." I freaked out! I hadn't felt anything cold or different but "It" would have passed right in front of me because of where I was sitting. I rushed down the hall to my bedroom where my husband was studying. I asked him if he had heard or felt anything weird. He said, "Nope." After I explained what had happened he laughed at me and basically told me I was a nut. I always felt very uncomfortable in that house after that!
