I grew up in a haunted house. My mom still lives there. No one in my family will spend the night there for any amount of money. I'll tell my story closer to Halloween even though you'll probably think I'm crazy.

"I'll tell my story closer to Halloween even though you'll probably think I'm crazy."

My house is occasionally haunted, but the terrifying episodes end when my mother-in-law leaves after the holidays.

Several years ago I purchased an older home from a retired judge. It was his parents house and had been vacant (although fully furnished) for years. We "shared custody" as he moved the contents out and I began cleaning and renovations. Not long after we settled in, I ran into an acquaintance who didn't know we had moved. He asked where we lived. When I told him he literally went white and said "That house is haunted!" He would offer no other details and walked away.

I never told this story to my two teenagers, yet I wondered why one of the guest bedrooms had a hook and eye closure on the OUTSIDE. (I removed it before we moved in, yet had no choice but to believe that someone or something was locked in that room at some time.) My teens are always talking about moving their bedrooms further away from each other and I've offered that guest room - it's beautiful with windows on three sides. They look at me like I'm crazy and tell me that one room scares them and they wouldn't spend the night in there much less move into it. I don't know what made them think that and when questioned they have no explanation. Every guest that's ever spent the night survived, what's the big deal? ;-)
