My family bought the house in 1939 at an auction. There had been a fire and I believe 2 people died in the house. There also was an old rocking chair (which I have in my house) and a beautiful picture of Jesus entering Jerusalem that came with the house.

My grandparents raised 7 children in that house. I also grew up in the house. Everyone including my son has had "experiences" with the house. Footsteps upstairs. Doors opening and closing. You know the shadowy dead people in the movie "Ghost", well I saw them on many occasions in my bedroom. Scariest thing I have ever experienced. My son saw a grim reaper in the middle of the afternoon sitting on the arm of the chair in the living room. He can barely speak about it today.

Those shadow things wouldn't leave me alone until I took a Bible and a Rosary to bed with me at night.

I know it sounds crazy but I know it to be true.

Nowadays when something infamous happens in a house that gets media attention, the place ends up being demolished. I have wondered if there just might be a lucrative specialized real estate market wherein people who are not too superstitious might buy bloodstained properties at knockdown prices.

The Grim Reaper was lucky he wasn't sitting on the ARM of a chair in my MOM'S house!

I posted a vanity a while back asking people to post their experiences with the occult. Your story isn't unique.
