Haunted Houses

flashheatingand

I am currently working on a house that was built around 1900. (This is a project in which the homeowner is rebuilding the house completely)There were a lot of booze bottles that were in the crawl space (Mr. Boston Gin & Wilkes Family). Anyhow, while nobody was in the house except me, I know I heard what I thought were footsteps. I never seen anything, and my imagination can get the best of me at times. But, it's kinda creepy. Anybody have any similiar stories?

Haunting is real, but of NO possible harm to the observer! Just talk it away and all will be OK! You MUST overcome, by force, the Latent Energy that has not dissipated.

No! I am not a Whacko. Just a Physicist without a Degree!

There will be NO further conversation from me concerning this topic!

Many moons ago, shortly after I started my company, I was doing a remodel on a house in James Island, S.C. (Charleston) I was sleeping there on an air matress to save money on hotels/travel also, any way, one night I just happend to wake & open my eyes just in time to see a tool belt that was sitting on a bench fall to the floor. After an investigation, I wrote it off as poor placment of the belt. Almost 2 hours pass as I lay there trying to get back to sleep, & then I hear what sounds like a child screaming. It's not in the house, it sounds like it's outside at some distance, I take a flashlight and a pistol and find nothing, the screaming stops as I think I'm approaching the source. I'ts almost day light now, the boys will be here soon so I head up to the awful waffle to get waffles & coffe for everyone.

Later in the day I decide to attack the ceiling dammage problem in one of the bedrooms, as I'm removing old, dammaged plaster & exposing the ceiling joists & attic space above an old old old very old toy wooden tank falls through & hits the floor. Thats when the gears started turning, I put the toy on the FP mantel, went back to work & thought about it all day.
I tried to stay there again that night but I heard that screaming child again about 4 A.M. I've surrvived a lot in life, escaped death on several occasions & I don't fear much more than my wife & God, but I have to say, I am pretty rattled by somthing I can't id, control, contain or beat up (if I have to) so I stayed at a hotel for the remainder of thet project.


I had a few "encounters" in the military also.......

My home is, as you say, "haunted" though it's not what I would consider creepy. Ash Roberts, who would be my great-great-grandfather, still walks the home. Doors open, footsteps are heard, TV's on/off, cat's freaking out for no reason.

Unless things start flying around the room you're working in, I would consider it your imagination. Old homes talk all the time.

Now if you're on an old indian burial ground, I would consider leaving.

In my opinion, old houses hold a lot of energy. And when we come in and start tearing things up, we move that energy around too. Who knows what might get loose.
I think if anyone wanted to believe in ghosts, all you have to do is walk around Devil's Den at the battlefield memorial in Gettysburg alone at night.

I hope to haunt a small apartment building I built in 1985. I spent a good part of my life there and expect i'll be there after my death. However, I'll just mess with them when they don't take care of my pet peaves.

I worked lighting at night in a bunch of different schools. Bunch of ghosts messing with you there.

(I guess I lied in my previous post)

Worked in an old house when I was still pulling wire that was built somewhere around 1900. It was at least 1908 since that was the date on a newspaper we found tacked up inside the walls. The man that inherited the house was a doctor that ended up hanging himself in there sometime in the 80's. The house stood empty until an investor bought it around 98 and rehabed it. I have so many stories from that house it is crazy. Most of the best ones involves us messing with people that really REALLY believed that it was haunted. Needless to say, we tried once to work into the night and none of us could stand it. No matter what you were doing or were you we at, you ALWAYS had the feeling that someone was looking at you.
