1880’s Home
07/2015
I got to stay here for a few months visiting my dad who rented the property for I believe for a year in 2015/2016. When I first arrived to visit him in the summer of 2015, he would tell me that sometimes when he would get back from his night shift in super early morning he could hear footsteps on the floor above the living room when everyone he knew to be sleeping. When he sometimes would be home alone, he’d on occasion hear what sounds like disembodied voices having a conversation in a room over. He said it sounded faint but still clear enough to sound like someone inside the house.
I was a little skeptical at first for not really having any experiences before, but I tried to not worry about it and minded my own business most of the summer but I had one occurrence that really stumped me. It was late one night when I was in the upstairs bedroom that I shared with my stepbrother. We were watching a show together both in our separate beds when we suddenly heard a knock on the bedroom door. We assumed it was my stepmom probably asking us to turn the tv down or something but no one answered when we said come in. We asked who was it thinking maybe it might be my grandma who maybe needed help. But again no answer. After a few seconds I got out of bed and went to open the door only for there to be no one in front of the door on the landing or down the stairs at all. The door to my dad and stepmom’s room was closed and my stepmom was definitely asleep and snoring. I texted my dad who was at work if he was home but he was still at work on his night shift.
The house was definitely old and you could definitely hear every floorboard creak and door squeak all the time, so if it was anyone we knew, we would be hearing them up the staircase or through any of the doors. My stepmom swore she was asleep most of the night and my grandma is mostly bedridden and wouldn’t dare try to make her way up a steep, old staircase.
We don’t know the details of who lived in the house before or the original owner from back then but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some spiritual attachment to the home. Not really scary but a very, very interesting experience and would love to learn more about the house.
