The ghost here:
It has only touched me once. It gave me the warmest hug from behind once, while I was working at my computer.
I thought my girlfriend at the time had snuck in here and hugged me, nope, no one there.
I have no clue what it did to another girlfriend, she never told me, but she never stayed here again, said there is a ghost here that does not like her.
My current girlfriend (and hopefully final one) had a really good meeting with it, scared the shit out of her.
She was just sitting on the edge of the bed drinking coffee, and she felt me sit down next to her and give her the best hug that she has ever had.
The problem was I was on another floor of the house, no one was there.
She was crying, and I knew what happened.
She kept saying "I felt the bed move from the weight of you sitting down next to me, and you gave me such a sweet hug, and you was not there".
She was pretty much ready to never come to my house again.
But I told her all about it, how it had hugged me also.
There was one time that I was talking to Mom(the night after my ghost hug), telling her about the hug, and she just thought I had been drinking too much, when all of a sudden my cigarette lighter went flying across the table.
Mom said, ok, I believe it now, and that explains a lot of stuff through the years that I thought I was crazy.
I will admit, I am somewhat afraid of it, if I sense it is in a certain room I do not go in that room until the sensation is over.
We have never seen it, and have never heard it say anything, but you can hear it all over the house, and it will move things around.
You can hear its footsteps also.
Anyway, we think this ghost is my Grand Dad.
He tragically died in a work accident when I was around 5 years old.
(which would explain a lot because I have been having weird experiences since I was very young).
Anyway, I was around 35 when I learned the whole story(right after my hug).
The whole story is my Grand Dad wanted to leave my Grand Mom, and he wanted to live here with us, because he was very crazy about me and my parents, and this house has plenty of room.
So pretty sure that is what happened. Grand Dad was planning on moving in here, and he did, he just did not know he was dead?
Before I was told what was going on with my Grand Dad when he was killed, I was thinking maybe this land was a Indian burial ground or something, because of weird stuff.
The house itself has a cool story.
When Dad first moved here he was a mailman, and there was a house on his route that he really liked, and asked for the blueprints so that he could have one like it built.
The person that owned that house had a restaurant that we ate at a lot called The Dwarf House, and his name was Truett Cathy, who later went on to all the Chik-Fil-A restaurants.
I was one month old when this house was ready to move in, and in 1992 Dad went bankrupt and lost everything, and I bought this house from the bank. so I have lived in this house my entire life(except for the first month of my life).
(several years I did live at the office and worked all the time, and rarely was here, but that is another story).
Anyway, when I was very young and having a lot of crazy stuff going on, I was thinking ufo's or something. Looking back now I am pretty sure it was my Grand Dad, and I was too young to understand.
The ghost did run a girlfriend out of here that really needed to go anyway, so that was cool.
And I had never mentioned anything about a ghost until my current girlfriend had been hugged by it, and she is fine now.
Sometimes she still accuses me of doing something, or moving something, and I am like I think that may have been the ghost, I was outside working on whatever and I was not even in the house to do that.
I will admit, after my hug, and then the lighter flying across the table, I thought about one of those TV shows to come here and see what the hell is going on.
But after I heard the story about how Grand Dad was wanting to live here so bad at the time he was killed, I said hell no.
If it is Grand Dad I want him to be able to stay happy. I do not want anything bothering him.
And I will admit that if I sense it, or hear it, I do not try to look, I do not want to see it, even if that is possible.
I want it to be happy, but at the same time leave me alone, which it has left me alone for a good while now.
I guess it has been 8-9 months since the last time it really bugged me. It kept turning stuff on and off, until I finally had to just go sleep in another room.
I know the ghost here is 100% real. My girlfriend knows its real, a ex-girlfriend knows its real, and my Mom knows its real.
And I think this topic also talked about some random stuff also, or maybe it was another topic, but I wanted to also say how weird it is a certain song is in my head, and then that is the next song the radio station plays.
Or I can be out with a friend, and talking about someone, and the person I am talking about is there all of a sudden, and I am like shit, I hope they did not just hear me talk about how fat they were getting or whatever I was saying.
Anyway in my lifetime I have not watched much ghost stuff on TV, I am not into it. I deal with it, and I don't really care to see anymore.
I do love Halloween, and haunted houses, because I know all of it is fake, and I do enjoy horror movies and stuff.
The ghost here startles me sometimes, and sometime it is restless or playful or something, but I trust it would never harm me. I trust it a lot more than some people these days.
And that reminds me, dogs!
We used to always have a dog around, until coyotes got the last one, and just not ready again yet, but when there was a dog around, all of them also would experience the ghost also.
Sometimes all of a sudden they would just start perking up and wagging their tail and looking at a wall. Pretty much the same time I would sense something, but I did not look.
Kind of makes sense also, my Grand Dad got me my first dog, my parents did not want to mess with it, but he said hell no, that boy needs a dog.
And all of a sudden the room feels 20 degrees colder. And that sucks.
I will end this long true story by saying if in fact what I have here is my Grand Dad, then all the times that I have been startled is totally fine with me.
I love this house also, and if there is anyway that I can carry on here after I die, I would like that myself.
And by no means is it a everyday thing, I think it must go visit others or something.
Maybe 100 days a year it can be heard clear as day walking around in another room when there is no one else here.
Maybe 50 days a year for whatever reason it likes to rearrange stuff.
I am not afraid of it, I just try to not be in the same room at the same time.
Ok, I am a tad afraid of it, I live with it, but this is not normal.
I am not afraid that it would hurt me, more like a just too weird thing I try to avoid.
And who knows, maybe this ghost also has that fog thing or whatever going on, I just look away.
I am sure there is a lot of fake stuff out there, but this ghost is real.
