This is a true story..
I was about 10 when..


My peeps decided to move to a secluded house..close to the woods..
It had white posts and brown shingles..we were folks from the hood..
So, the excited of a back yard was quite large..dual garage spaces..
I was riveted when it hit me that I was going to room in the basement..
The first night was all fright..but I noticed all night a light from the hall..
Right through my door to the adjacent room..it was like a light on the wall..
But, all the lamps were out so it didn't make sense..and then it shifted..
Moved up the wall a few inches..my body froze in place like a stiff gets..
The chills hit my neck and travelled down my spine..I was in a panic..
I managed to get up to shut my door..but the light had already vanisnhed..
I ran back and jumped under the covers..I almost bumped my head..
My breathing was shallow and quick..sweat drenched my bunk bed..
I thought it was all over when a moment later I heard a voice that said..
"Get out..get out of this house now, or you will all be dead"..
It was fight or flight..so I dashed up a flight of stares to my peeps..
Out of breath, I could barely speak.."We gotta..gotta..get out..please.."
But, they thought I was just having a bad dream..so I stayed the them..
The next day, moved all my shit upstairs becuz the basement was grim..


**But, that's not all folks**mhuahahaaaaaa


Weeks later, that same basement became our family room..like a den..
When one night, we heard the sound of a child laughing..but kind of dim..
After that, it became bumping in the ceilings..we were feeling puzzled..
And once the noises became constant..we started to wonder..
Come to find out..the house built before ours had burned to the ground..
There were 2 fatalities in all..Mrs. Caldwell and her child..



**True Story..my mother still lives in that house..the original plumbing was laid in 1967..She had my grandmother, who is a minister, bless the house a few years ago. To this day, anyone who goes in that house feels like something is watching you when you walk up the stairs from the basement. You hear all kinds of strange noises.


geesh...still gives me the chills to tell that story
