Well, something I posted on another thread, but I shall copy and paste for y’all . . .
Two stories from friends of mine in Tx. Not the kind of folks who would pull my leg. I have several stories of my own (having lived with ghosts for as long as I can remember), but these are considerably more interesting/freaky.
Story #1
Back Story: The house my friend Jeremy lived in until about a year ago used to be owned by an extremely obese agorophobic man, before his parents bought the house. When the family moved away, said man wanted to stay (remember, agorophobic). So, they send a check to a neighbor to buy food for the man every week. After a few months of this, the neighbors stop buying him groceries, and just keep the money for themselves. Eventually, the man starves to death in Jeremy’s room. When the family comes for a visit, they find him, looking as any person who starves to death would.
Creepy bit: Jeremy’s awoken by . . . something. When he looks at down, there’s a thin, pale man floating a few inches off the floor by the foot of his bed. He turns on his light, and the guy’s still there. A few seconds later, the man opens his mouth like he’s screaming, but doesn’t make a sound, and just kinda . . . slides sideways to the door and goes through it. This guy was as visible as a normal person, not transparent or glowing or anything.
Story #2:
My friend Kate and her boyfriend Dan go to this old, creepy looking house they’ve passed by a few times. So, they go in and wander around. In the ceiling of the living room is what looks to be a hole cut in the floor of the room above with a chain hanging from the ceiling of the 2nd floor room. When they get to the basement, they start to go down the stairs, but then they both start freaking out with “don’t go down there” vibes. Dan starts saying things like, “There’s a little boy down there Kate, we have to go help him.” (Kate and I have a hard time not thinking that he’s kinda ghost-senstive.) Kate’s freaking out bad now, and convinces him that they need to leave, NOW.
That night, Dan’s sleeping over at Kate’s. He wakes up and sees this little cut-up kid standing at the foot of his bed. He freaks out, grabs his pants (he sleeps nekkid) and runs outside, screaming. So, he’s nekkid and screaming at 3 in the morning. Kate and her family run outside to see what’s upsetting him (Kate didn’t see the boy). He puts his pants on, and they finally manage to calm him down. But then he looks up into the bedroom window, and he sees the little boy standing in the window, holding a knife. Screaming reinsues. After about an hour, they calm him down enough to go inside and sleep on the couch.
The next day, Dan and Kate go to Dan’s family reunion, and don’t mention anything about the creepiness, since Dan’s mom is an abusive uber-Christian. Dan leaves Kate alone with his mom for a few minutes, and she pulls Kate to the side and tells her that there’s a little boy following him around. Freaks Kate out, since they hadn’t mentioned anything about it.
That night, Dan has a dream about the little boy.
This part’s kind of graphic, so I’ll put it in a spoiler.
In the dream, the little boy tells Dan that his parents would tie him up, hang him from the chain in the living room, beat him with golf clubs, and then leave him in the basement.
This wakes Dan up, who can’t sleep for the rest of the night. That morning, Kate decides that they need to go back to the house and look around. Y’know, put the spirit to rest or something, so he’ll stop bothering Dan. So, they drive to it.
When they get there, the house is gone.
Not just gone, but the lot looks like there was never a house there. Not that it’s been torn down recently, but never there.
They know it’s the right lot, because all the trees look right, just . . . without a house between them.
Just to make sure, they drive around, hoping they were on the wrong street or something. They drive around for 2 hours, but they never find the house. The houses on either side of the lot are the right houses, but it’s just not there.
Now, most of this story (aside from the dream details and the layout of the house) can be confirmed by Kate mom, aunt, and grandmother. So . . . yeah. True. And fucking creepy.
