| Ghostly friends and maybe a former homeowner - Texas |
| In September of 2002, we left Massachusetts to relocate to Texas. We purchased a small home on the outskirts of Dallas. This home had formerly belonged to an elderly woman who had passed away. The house remained vacant for over a year until we moved in. Not long afterwards, orbs appeared in photographs I had taken of the home's interior. These weren't the typical "dust, dirt or water particle" orbs that often appear in photos, I knew these were something different. One night, as I stood in the kitchen washing dishes, Jim asked if I had been talking to him. When I said no, Jim explained that he had heard a woman's voice saying something unintelligible, and thought it was me. No tv or stereo was on at the time, we were alone in the house. Another evening, I was asleep on the couch when I awoke to see the pasty white image of an older woman's face looking down at me, from the wall. It slowly faded away as I gazed at it. A sighting inside our home involved me seeing the image of a heavyset older woman standing in the livingroom, watching me. She faded into nothing as I gave her my full attention. As is our custom when investigating haunted areas, I spoke aloud, calling out the name of the deceased former owner of our home. I told her that we had moved into her home and would take good care of it, since I was sure she loved the place when alive. I informed her that we were happy here, and I invited her to stay if she wanted, or move onto the other side. We haven't seen her since, but we did pick up what we think to be her voice, on an EVP recording I made in our house. About a month after we had moved in, I was in the kitchen getting something to drink from the refrigerator. I put the glass down on the counter and turned away for a few seconds. When I turned back around, the glass was gone. There was no one else in the kitchen with me, so it was frustrating to me, knowing I had placed that glass on the counter, in plain sight. I finally glanced over to another section of the counter, to see my glass hiding behind a cannister set. I had to laugh because I knew this little trick could only have been played on me by my late ex-husband (and very close friend) Bob. In life, he had been infamous for hiding food or drink on people if their backs were turned. Before we had moved from New England, I had invited Bob's spirit to accompany me out to Texas, to watch over me...and he certainly was here, letting me know that he was watching over me, even in Texas. 2005 Jim and I have come to the conclusion that our home must be a 'pass through' for restless spirits who have not yet found their way to the other side. While no major hauntings have occured here, it is still worthy of mentioning. Jim heard the frantic voice of an older woman crying out for help, from our main bathroom. When he hurried in there to find out what was going on, all he found was me, brushing my teeth. I was in no distress whatsoever, but Jim insisted he heard a woman in obvious anguish, begging for help from that bathroom. I had heard nothing. Prior to that, the house had been completely quiet, no stereo or TV was playing, nobody was out in the street. Since our bathroom had been set up to accomondate someone in a wheelchair at one time, we can only surmise that it might have been the former owner of this house. I was standing in the livingroom when out of the corner of my eye, I caught the image of a tall shadowy figure walking across the livingroom floor, past me. The figure was tall, male and seemed to have long hair. It disappeared when I gave it my full attention. I have also seen the image of a small brown dog standing near my bedroom door. Of course when I turned to look, the little dog disappeared. We have quite a few dogs of our own, but nothing that looked like this. (and this was long before one of our own dogs had passed away). 2006 - Present While we have not seen anything in some time, I recently listened to a tape I had made back in January, in the bedroom of our home. The house was quiet, so I thought this would be a good time to leave the recorder running for awhile. When I listened to the playback, I did hear voices on the tape. While we don't believe this house is haunted, we simply feel that spirits roam through our house from time to time. Perhaps a few decided they wanted to make themselves known to us, I have no idea....but we are always open to more 'ghostly' visitations! Feel Free to Contact Us ! |
