I LIVE IN HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA WHERE YOU ALWAYS HEAR ABOUT GHOSTS...AND
MY HOUSE IS ONE OF THEM. BEFORE I TELL YOU MY STORIES, FROM THE BACK
YARD YOU CAN SEE THE UPSTAIRS AND DOWN; BUT FROM THE FRONT, ALL YOU
SEE IS THE UPSTAIRS. SOME CALL IT THE SPLIT HOUSE; BUT IT'S AN OLD, NICE
HOUSE...AND LOTS OF DEATHS WITHIN THE WALLS.
THE FIRST STORY I HEARD, WAS ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO. I WAS ABOUT NINE, AND
MY GRANDPA HAD GONE DOWNSTAIRS TO GET SOMETHING. WHEN HE WENT
INTO A ROOM TO TURN A LIGHT ON, HE SAW MORE THAN THAT...HE SAW A MAN
STANDING IN THE CORNER, WITHOUT A SHIRT. HE TURNED, SHUT THE DOOR AND
CAME BACK UP STAIRS.
THE NEXT STORY IS ABOUT MY MOM AND UNCLE (AS KIDS) WHO HAD THE TWO
ROOMS DOWNSTAIRS. MY MOTHER WAS LATE FOR SCHOOL, AND SO WHILE SHE
WAS GETTING READY, SHE HEARD BANGS AND VOICES IN THE WALLS. SHE SAID
SHE GOT UNDER HER BED, AND CALLED MY GRANDPA WHO WORKED ONE
MINUTE AWAY FROM OUR HOUSE. HE RAN HOME AND NOTHING WAS MOVED OR
LOOKED AS IF ANYONE CAME IN.
AFTER MY MOTHER MOVED UPSTAIRS, MY UNCLE WAS IN BED ONE NIGHT. HE
WOKE UP TO A MAN SITTING ON HIS DRESSER AND A MAN IN THE CORNER...AND
THERE WAS A LADY WITH RED HAIR IN THE DOORWAY, WITH A BABY. HE TOLD US
THAT WAS IT FOR HIM; HE WOKE UP AND MOVED OUT.
WHEN I WAS PREGNANT, MY BOYFRIEND AND I WERE LIVING HERE - AND HE WAS
SLEEPING IN THE ROOM WHERE WE HEARD SOMETHING LIKE LOUD BANGS ONE
NIGHT. SO, I WALKED UPSTAIRS TO SEE IF I HEARD ANYTHING (THE DINING ROOM
IS UP ABOVE OUR ROOM - AND THE CHAIRS ARE OLD, HARD TO PICK UP TO MOVE;
AND ALL WE HAD IN THE HOUSE WAS A SMALL CAT). WELL, I HEARD IT AGAIN,
AND I GOT MY BOYFRIEND UP (TO COME AND LOOK), AND WE LAID THERE...AND
HEARD IT ALL NIGHT LONG. THREE MONTHS AFTER THAT, WE LOST OUR LITTLE
GIRL; SHE PASSED IN THE SAME BEDROOM THAT ALL THESE THINGS HAD
HAPPENED IN. THE SAME UNCLE WHO SAW THE LADY AND BABY TOLD ME
(AFTER SHE PASSED) HE SAW HER AT HIS HOUSE 50 MILES FROM THIS HOME.
THIS TIME SHE WAS AT HIS HOUSE WITH THE SAME BABY; AND HE SAID HE
BELIEVES IT WAS MY LITTLE GIRL. SHE CALLED HIS NAME, SMILED, AND WALKED
OUT OF THE ROOM. HE THOUGHT HE WAS DREAMING AND SO HE GOT UP AND NO
ONE WAS THERE, BUT HIM; AND HIS WIFE AND LITTLE GIRL WERE BOTH IN BED...
