A Haunted Desk?
Rate this encounter:
Tim, Stoughton, Massachusetts - 2003
We moved into our house back in 1986. We only had two bedrooms, but we
needed three. There was an enclosed wall with a door leading to the attic.
The attic was unfinished except for a small room at the end with temporary
walls, a desk, lamp, and chair. My father tore down this room and remade the
upstairs into a large bedroom for me. He also tore down the wall leading
upstairs so it was now an open staircase leading up from one of the
bedrooms. After I moved up there, everything changed. As soon as the lights
went out, I always heard footsteps coming toward my bed. I would turn on the
lights, but nothing was ever there. Other times I would be the only one in
the house and I would hear my name called, but yet no one was home. Another
thing that always happened was us smelling pipe tobacco. Yet nobody in the
house smoked a pipe. There were at least two ghosts there.
After I moved out, my brother had taken over the bedroom. He is not a
believer. He would hear the noises and disregard them. That is until he was
awoken one night to find an old lady leaning down over looking at him. My
brother didn't sleep back up in that room for three years after that. We
haven't heard, smelled, or seen anything for a long time (about five years
now). That desk that was up there in the beginning, and then moved to the
room downstairs, was eventually moved outside about the same time as
everything stopping. My question is: Is it the desk that was haunted? Did
they just leave on their own? I am starting to get the same feelings as
before. My mom died of cancer in the house almost two years ago. Is she
here? My mother always claimed to have some sort of a psychic power. I hate
things that I can't kill. Any comments or suggestions?
