i live in a haunted house

my_house

I do. the house has a history, and a recent one. a year before we bought it, there was a tragic death of a member of the house at that time - we knew the rough of the story which basically was a car accident very close to the hosue itself, and we knew the age of the person who died and their gender and name etc. Over the four years we've been here I have heard lots of strange things (people closing doors when theres no-one there, footsteps in the hallway, the odd voice every now and then, shelves falling when there werent any shelves falling etc)

Anyway, a friend from Australia visited when she came over here for a few weeks recently. we hadnt been talking to her since we had bought the house so I KNOW for a fact she had no idea of the house or its history - but yet she was fit to tell us of the person who had died, their name plus facts that we hadnt known ourselves but which were actually proven by the girls family when we checked (we had to go about that very diplomatically considering the aspects of the accident. the car was driven by one of the parents of the young person who died and there was an argument which actually caused the accident. the only way we could check this was to ask the dead persons Uncle who knows my wife. he confirmed there was an argument right before the accident)

Anyway, the woman from australia told us that the 'ghost' had tried to get our attention before. also the 'ghost' seems to know where the family moved to as well as this woman started describing an area about 5 miles away from our house - the area happens to have a statue of the virgin mary, which is right next to where the family moved to.

so there you go. strange stuff, but true. and the house is lovely to live in I may add. very nice atmosphere. theres just no point in trying to photo/record anything as proof because Ive been trying that since we moved in and the only time i ever hear anything, is when I dont have anything setup to record. it has opened my eyes though as you wouldnt think the place was 'haunted'.

Thats a very interesting story. Do you think the ghost is happy to be in the house? Do you think she got your attention because she might have unfinished business or something?

i reckon the ghost had tried to contact in the past.
