I never really believe in this stuff but...after college I was dating a girl and her parents bought an old log cabin that was converted into a BBQ restaurant. It was just her and I there one morning getting ready to open the place up and we were in the back kitchen. I started hearing kids laughing so I thought a customer had arrived early and headed to the front to help them out. When I got there nobody was there. Just her and I in the kitchen. I walked outside and nobody. So I came back in and we just went about the day. Later on we were telling her mother about it and she confirmed that the previous owners had heard children there several times. It was creepy and I get chills just telling the story.
Then, a few years later my new wife and I bought a house in Collingswood NJ. It had wood floor throughout and was separated into two halves...the dining room, kitchen, and living room on one side...then 3 bedrooms with a long hallway and a bathroom on the other. We used to close the door separating the two halves at night since we had a couple young kids. Several times we were laying in bed and heard foot steps run down the hallway. I got up several times to see if it was one of the kids and they were always asleep. Then we eventually got a dog since I was traveling a lot and he would protect the family when I was away. He is a pitbull and very quiet...he would not just bark to bark, if that makes sense. One night he woke me up barking. He was in our front room looking down the hallway just barking his *** off. I popped my head out in the hallway and hit the light and he was staring almost right through me. So I went down the opposite way behind me to see what he was barking at and absolutely nothing there.
In this same house our older son started sleep walking. I started waking up and he would be standing there in our room looking at us in the dark. Freaked me the he11 out. I started keeping a pillow in the bed with me so I could throw it at him to wake him up. The freakiest thing he did is, I woke up one night and he was standing in the hallway, looking around the door at us like he was hiding. I could only see his face in the doorway. I was like "Ali, what are you doing?" and he responded in this crazy voice "You sound weird." Then he turned around and went back to his bed. After that I started sleeping with the bedroom door closed.
