ok, the game is over and the devils suck. but anyway, it's all hallow's eve Eve, so i have to get crackin' on some more stories. i've got my beverage and am ready to go...
where i grew up in pennsylvania, there was a house about a mile down the road from where our current farm is that my family occupied twice. once when my mother was just a kid, my grandparents owned it at one point, and then again when I was about 4 years old. that time my mother had rented it from the owner at the time after she had divorced my father, and she lived there with my brother and myself. once, when my mother lived there as a kid, she had gone downstairs in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, which was on the first floor off the kitchen, and knowing the house well, she didn't bother turning on any lights. at that time, her uncle was staying at the house visiting, and as she walked through the downstairs floor on her way to her destination, she could make out a shape of someone standing in the middle of the kitchen floor. she thought at the time that it was her uncle, so she stuck her hand out as she walked towards him so she wouldn't walk smack into him and just simply walked right through the shape of the person she saw. she turned around and no one was there. nothing else ever came of that event, but some time later on, her two brothers, my uncles, were rummaging around underneath the porch and discovered a headstone and they realized that someone was actually buried there. there was a name on it, the last name was Franklin, but I don't know what the first name was. BUT, the house next to that one (which was down the road a spell as the houses/farms are kind of far apart on that road) belonged to a man named Eddie Franklin, and evidently, his family also had owned that house at some point. my uncles & aunts went down to pay him a visit and inquire about their find under the porch, but when they went there and began to talk about it, they said that Eddie looked a bit unnerved and wouldn't talk about the subject with them. hmm.
so, years later, after my mother's separation, we (her, my brother, and i) lived for a bit with my grandparents, but that wasn't the greatest experience (remember, i had a falling out with my grandfather who wasn't exactly the nicest person) and after she couldn't take that anymore, we rented that same old house just down the road from where my grandparents lived, and where i wound up living most of my youth later on. i personally never SAW anything weird in that house, but i do remember that i always thought it had a weird 'feel' to it. i'm very receptive to vibes and that actually leads to some other interesting things, but those are other stories. i also had nightmares in this house, but again, nothing specifically 'ghost' related. but, the one thing i would call ghost related that happened there happened to my brother, who was nothing more than a toddler at the time. we were all home one evening, and my mother was in the kitchen, and my brother went to the basement door and opened it for some reason and he said to my mother..."mommy. who's that man in the basement?" she said that she looked, but didn't see anything.
