ROFL! As I started reading this thread initially, we had a storm rolling in and it got very dark and it was thundering and carrying on. So that didn't help me!

Anyway...

Our house is huge, 3 stores, 6 bedrooms, etc. It's over 100yrs. old and has always been in dh's family. There are several stories of ghosts here. (And me, I'm such a weanie. I'm STILL scared of the dark!) I won't go up to the 3rd floor when it is dark by myself! One of the stories that dh's mom told me was a couple years before we moved in here, she went upstairs to dust and clean. One of the beds was messed up. So she made it up. The next day, she went up to finish cleaning, the bed was messed up again. This carried on for over a week where she would go up each day to find the bed messed up. Finally, she said outloud... Would you quit messing up the bed? And it quit!

Another story was of dh's nephew. One day, he was missing for a bit and his Dad went upstairs to find him. He was sitting on the stairway to the 3rd floor. He asked him what he was doing and he said he was sitting there with his friend. I guess he had never said anything about an imaginary friend before. But on a couple of occasions he talked about one here as if it were a real little boy.

Then... last winter, all the kids were in school and I was here with my 2 yr. old. I could hear the bus pull up outside and it sounded like someone jumped down from a chair or something and ran across the floor. I could just picture that little boy my nephew played with watching for the school bus out the window and getting excited. I hear stuff like that all the time.

There are also stories of people actually seeing ghosts here too.
