My Childhood Ghost
by justus2@seaside.net
My family and I moved into a house in Hamilton Ontario Canada in
the early seventies. The house was built in the late eighteen hundreds
and was quite nice inside, complete with cherry wood banisters and mantle
piece.
My mother had most of the experiences in this house but all of
us, except my dad, had at least one experience. One night when mom and
dad were sleeping a pillow was placed over my mothers face and was held
in place while my father slept soundly beside her. Another night my
mother was walking up the stairs when she suddenly became dizzy and could
not go on. She got down on her knees because she was afraid of falling
but within a minute she was rolling down the stairs. I watched this
happen and to this day I swear she was pushed however, no one was there.
On another ocassion she had fallen asleep on the couch in the living
room. She had a dream that there was a coffin in the room with her, laid
out in front of the living room window. In this coffin was an old lady
dressed in black. My mother later saw this same old lady on many
ocassions standing on the second floor landing where I watched my mother
fall from.
One day we had a BBQ and the neighbours attended. My mother
recounted her dream to the elderly neighbour, Margaret. Margaret asked my
mother to describe the lady in the dream. When she did, Margaret became
pale and said that the ghost was her Aunt who died in the house many
years earlier and was laid out in front of the living room window as was
customary for that time period.
One day my brother and sister came tumbling down the stairs
screaming that they were afraid of the old man who was staring at them
from the hallway. No one was there. They were very young at the time,
perhaps 8 and 4.
My experiences were not visual but on many ocassions I heard
footsteps and I would often feel my sheets being straighted out while I
was sleeping.
