I realize I should have asked this about 10 days ago…would have made a good Hallowe’en topic. The reason I ask is this: I live in a rather old house (one of the oldest in town) which, in Oklahoma, isn’t that old by east-coast standards but it’s old to us, nonetheless. 80+ years. Anyways, from time to time, things happen around here which seem to be unexplainable. Mr. Doughnut doesn’t seem too concerned about them but, being who I am, they make me say “hmmm…”
For example: our very first night here, I was taking a bath and heard a noise come from the kitchen. Says I, “Mr. Doughnut, is that you?” Says he (from the bedroom at the other side of the house), “Is what me?” So, after my bath, I walk into the kitchen and find the refrigerator and freezer doors wide open. hmmmmm…
Another example: the grandfather clock will, from time to time, make a noise that’s not a chime, more like running your fingers along a harp’s string. Kind of a bbbbrrringg… Mr. Doughnut says, “Must be the kitties rubbing against it.” Now, I’ve never, in 7 years, heard my kitties make this noise by rubbing against ANYTHING. So, one day, I’m walking about 20 feet away and it makes the chimey noise. ALL BY ITSELF! Again, hmmmmm…
BTW, we bought the house from my in-laws, hubby grew up here. Father Doughnut (which is not his priestly name) agrees that the house makes noises. Brother Doughnut agrees that one is not quite alone here. My Beloved Mr. Doughnut thinks I’m bonkers.
So, anyone else here ever live in a “haunted” house? Believe in ghosts? Got any good first-hand ghost stories to tell? I anxiously await…
mmm…
