It's a weird place. There were problems with the tub (An old cast iron one) and they had to get to the pipes and replace the floor in the bathroom. Beneath the floor is a room, about 5' high and 7' square. There is nothing at all there. The fireplace in the living room (all have been sealed off) has recently come open around the seal and we have a regular occurence of bird bones falling onto the floor.

I rent the place, the owner tried to get me to buy it (the whole building, top and bottom) but she wanted too much IMO (130k). It's a huge place but being so old needs lots of work. I try to always find the most rational reasons for things which occur, but some things give me the willies nonetheless.

The only thing weird I can say I have witnessed first hand was in the third grade. I was flipping through a reading book in class and saw an image of christ. I flipped back through the book trying to find it and never could. When I got home I learned my grandmother had passed away that morning in her sleep. Doctor said her heart just went out - sad to say poor grandpa found her there. She was always up before him and took care of him since he had lost his leg. He crawled to her bed and could not get her to wake up. They were good folk and I will always miss them both. I still use her silverware I got everyday :)

Oh my. The good news is that you are only renting. Thanks for the info re: the day your grandmother died. Many who are apart from loved ones on the day they die experience some kind of "knowing" that it has happened. But as a child - I am sure this was how her passing was being communicated to you. Also understand about missing wonderful grandparents!!!!
