Cherri - Houston, Texas - May 2004
We inherited a lot of antiques from my mother-in-law when she passed. One
item in particular gave me the scare of my life! The hall tree chair always
gave me chill bumps when I was near it in mother-in-law's house, but the
minute it was in our house I started feeling "something" was connected to
the chair. I started seeing a shadow moving around it and the shadow would
show up at different places in my house. I would not look in the mirror at
the top of the chair for fear of seeing something I shouldn't. After a few
months of increasing activity I was preparing dinner and felt as if someone
was watching me. I turned around and saw a creature (definitely not human)
sitting there glaring at me. It looked something like a gremlin with sharp
teeth and pointed ears. I ran out of the house (chicken frying and all) to
my neighbor's driveway. I was shaking so bad I could hardly tell her what
happened. She went through my house and said all of the lights had been
turned off and the closet doors were open. I certainly didn't leave my house
like that! I refused to go back in until my husband came home. I spent four
days with my parents until my husband and son could remove the hall tree
chair and take it to a storage room somewhere else. After that, the creature
and shadow never made another appearance. I was told by a psychic that we
should never sell it to anyone else, but instead burn it to get rid of the
creature. Also, I do have a regular visitor in my living room (non-scary
apparition) which is an older man in work clothes. He started appearing when
we were doing some work in the living room. He startles me sometimes,
though. This house has always had its poltergeist activities that usually
moves things around and an innocent being that has touched me on occasion.
