Light often stares at a spot just above my head and to the left when I'm sitting in the living room. She will actually get up off her bed and come sit a few feet away from me and STARE, ears up and tense. I just turn and chat with whoever's not there. I will probably end my days in a padded room LOL.

While I'm loading the washer, I hear footsteps upstairs...floors creaking. I figured she was up so I went up there to check on her and she was still asleep. :eek:

Another time, I had gotten home from beauty school and went to the kitchen to start the dishes. In the living room was a piano...I have this piano in my home now...and someone was pounding on the piano keys. I yelled, "COURTNEY, STOP THAT!" I was not in the best of moods. It stopped for a few seconds and started again. I turned off the water and dried my hands. I was going to pop her hiney for disobeying me. Walked into the living room and no one was in there. Went to the den and Courtney was in there with my step-dad watching t.v. Asked him if she'd been in there the whole time and he said yes. I asked him who was messing with the piano and he said, "I thought you were." :eek:

My stepdad's 1st wife had passed away due to cancer. While she was living, he and his wife took in their son's best friend, wife and child for a short while. They stayed upstairs. One morning, the baby had passed away. :( SIDS had taken it's life. Well, stepdad's wife ran upstairs trying to resuscitate the baby to no evail.

Speaking to a stepbrother one day we started talking about all of this and he said that he's seen the ghost...it was his mother running upstairs to try to save the baby.

Now was she the one that kept checking on my daughter? :confused:

Stepdad use to tell me that he felt spirits all the time in the home. He could feel them walk right up behind him. :eek:

Well...she turns around to scold him, and tell him to go back outside...and as she turns...its this black dog...who is NOT her laborador...who then just fades away into nothingness. :eek: She freaks out...screams for her partner...who thinks she's nuts of course. Well....two week later...it appears in the morning to her partner...just standing by the bed in the morning...breathing on her. Since that time...they have seen not only the dog...but some kind of humanlike figure...that just fades in and out at times. They said they've gotten used to it...and just live with it. If I didn't know these two no-nonsense cops personally...I'd say they were making it up. But I believe them...which is why we always meet in a restaurant to get together....chuckling...

Well this is the 60's mind ya, and the lady across the street was a single mom with three kids. Pretty rare in Puerto Rico at the time. Anyhow she told my mom, grandma, and aunt that she was going out on a date if she could keep an eye out for the kids, oldest was 15. Well they were watching TV, whe they hear this blood curdling scream....like a woman being killed. isntantly they think of the kids across the way and run outside. Well the whole neighborhood is up and out, and it turned out that the neighbor had come home early. Well when my grandma mentioned the scream, one of the residents that had been living there for a while mentioned that this happened all the time. they would hear these horrible screams in the dead of night once ot twice a night, a couple of times a year! The reason they beleived was that it was the ghosts of women that had been raped and murdered in the area. It was a swamp before the developers filled it in and built houses. During construction they had found shallow graves with the bodies of women. How eerie is that?! :eek:
