But for the last two nights, a light-up decorative cup in The Pony's room has dimly lit up by itself. Not the full, red-and-blue strobe that starts when you push the switch to ON. Just a dim glow, with nobody touching the switch. It does not stay on all night.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44153327583799894.post-711274079402978852011-07-12T21:03:45.601-05:002011-07-12T21:03:45.601-05:00Ooh, very creepy!

The time the light went off just as I though...Lisa,<br />The time the light went off just as I thought to myself, "...and that light better not go off again," was one of the scariest. THE scariest was the headless man. In fact, I made Hick put in a light switch at the top of the stairs so I would never be left in the dark down there again. I used to turn off the overhead lights and a lamp, and climb the stairs with only a glow from upstairs to guide me.<br /><br />The cold room started after Hick brought home a chest of drawers from a second-hand shop in Festus. Genius was the lucky recipient, and his room had the cold chill. I did not make the connection until Genius grew up a bit and got new furniture. His room warmed up. The chest went to the basement, where the light issue began. The light was not loose, and did not burn out. It would go off, and then come back on a random number of hours or days later.<br /><br />A neighbor found a cannonball on his property. We've only found arrowheads. The whole area used to be part of a big farm. The headless man was not in a uniform. He had a black jacket, and an old-timey white shirt with a stand-up collar, and small, round black buttons. I almost walked right into him. I jumped sideways to avoid him, and he faded away. He was shorter than me, but of course he had no head. His shoulders were shorter than mine, and I'm 5'8".<br /><br />****************************<br />Linda,<br />My husband scoffed at my headless man, and humored me with the light switch. Then he saw the kitchen door open by itself when he was the only one home. Of course he expected me to believe him.<br /><br />****************************<br />Sioux,<br />I suppose strangers like me better than my relatives. The Pony used to tell me when he was a toddler that his grandpa came in his room at night to make sure everything was OK. He died of cancer when The Pony was six weeks old, and his last weeks were spent holding that baby for four hours every morning. It's his pipe tobacco that I smelled, a blend of Kentucky Club and some cherry stuff that he hand-mixed. But I don't get the feeling that the noises are him.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44153327583799894.post-13348648811669857982011-07-10T22:22:35.828-05:002011-07-10T22:22:35.828-05:00My husband has seen my grandfather in our hallway,...My husband has seen my grandfather in our hallway, long after Grandpa was dead.

You don't seem afraid, just a tad rattled (I would have run screaming from the house by now). What do you think it is? Have you done any research of the property on which your house was built?Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048410207952052295noreply@blogger.com
