In the house where my family lived from the time I was 11 to about 15, I occasionally would think I heard someone call my name. Of course, no one would be there. Also, I sometime would think I saw a figure walking through the door between my room and my brother’s room. It only happened once in a while and was never any big deal.

While living in this same house, my brother and I got into an argument over whether the house was haunted (we were probably 14 and 11 at the time). He kept insisting that it was and I kept insisting that he was full of crap. We were standing in the laundry room and I finally looked at him and said “There are no such things as ghosts!!” The words had barely left my mouth when a family picture came crashing off the wall, narrowly missing my head.

I kept my opinions to myself after that.

Grace: Yes! It is as a matter of fact. Wow, made the rounds clear up to Dallas, even. That’s so strange.

I really like these other stories as well. So much we still don’t know about this world of ours.
