Ambitious But Rubbish
Yeah, i'm a paranormal enthusiast, if you can't tell.
I know LOTS of people have creepy things happen to them, and i'm sure some of our forum members have as well
DO SHARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll start....
I was probably 12 when this happened keep in mind... My uncle had just bought a long abandoned house for a good price, and it was time to start restoring it to livability.
Little bit of background info on the house,
An older guy lived alone and basically in the kitchen of the house (had a bathtub hooked up to the kitchen) and boarded off the rest of the house. (this isn't a small house, 5 bedroom 2 story). He died in the house and the daughter (who lived out of state) wanted to sell it, but part of the terms were the house had to be demolished (suspicious). Obviously the final deal didn't go down that way.
Anyways the house had no power and i was helping dig out the basement (foundation was crumbling and the basement needed to be dug out) so it's like 9 at night, pitch black, and here i am 12, scared sh!tless of the dark already in a basement with just a halogen lamp powered by a generator. My dad tells me he had to run to the truck real quick (other side of a huge lawn) i said ok... and went back to digging. So he was gone for a little bit, i kept digging, and i hear footsteps upstairs, going back and forth, so i went up with a little flashlight to see what dad was looking for on the first floor.... i looked in the living room (old rotten room scary as hell) don't see him....i then hear probably 400 yds away dad's truck door shut....
I ran out of that house sooooo fast and i was nearly to tears... those footsteps WERE NOT his!!!!
Dad got back and asked me why i was running, i said there were footsteps! He said "oh you met Mr. Spooky" ... i said "YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS?!" he said: "yeah but i didn't want to tell you because then you wouldn't have wanted to come work"
Let me tell you that house was creepy as hell, something out of a horror movie at times. Footsteps were a hugely common occurance.
My dad and uncle tell stories about it at family campfires.... the first day dad worked there at night with my uncle they were in the basement, same thing, footsteps upstairs...(mind you, this was a couple weeks before my experience) Dad said to my uncle "oh maybe Sam (my cousin) is here to help" Bill (my uncle) responds "ain't nobody up there"...dad says "what do you mean nobody's up there? obviously theres someone up there can't you hear the footsteps?" Bill says "go look" so dad does, and comes back..."Billy there isn't nobody up there?! Whats going on?" Billy responds "it's Mr. Spooky.
Apparently one night (still no power other than a generator) they were sitting in the kitchen when Boomer (a friendly resident dog) came to the door, and when asked to come in he started growling and barking and basically foaming at the mouth like a criminal was around. Soon after a halogen light (the only one in the room) on a tripod got thrown over making the room dark....
Anyways the question is, is this the spirit of the old guy that lived in the house or did he lock himself in the kitchen because of something that was there before? Creepy either way....
I still remember the sound of heavy work boots on a wooden floor... my uncle says he still has thing happen voices/doors opening/footsteps from time to time but not as bad as when we were renovating.
Anyways, your turn... Share your story :thumbup:
