2 days until Halloween!

Our 12 listeners called in today and shared stories of the haunted houses they live in and just plain scary things that have happened to them! Here are a few.....

Two days after my mother-in-law passed away in 2005. To set the scene for you, my father-in-law was asleep in his bedroom, my spouse and I were occupying the hide-a-bed and my brother and sister-in-law were on an airbed on the floor nearby. At around 1:15 in the morning, I awakened, and when I opened my eyes was facing the television (which was turned off). In the reflection of the TV, I could see the small hallway leading to the bedroom my in-laws had shared - which was lit by a dimmable overhead light (this was normal) and my late mother-in-law standing there with her hand against the wall. Startled, I sat up and looked into the hallway where I had just seen her, but there was no one there. About ten minutes later, as I lay attempting to go back to sleep, I heard footsteps and the creak then of an area of the floor that indicated weight had been put on it. Again, I sat up and peered towards the area of the creak and found that my sister-in-law was doing the same. She had awakened earlier to the feeling of someone brushing the hair out of her face only to discover that her husband was still asleep and was (obviously) awake to hear the footfalls and the creak of the floor. The two of us spent the remainder of the evening drinking coffee and talking in the garage.

After my father died in my house in 1996, every night at approximately 11 pm, the wind chimes in my living room would ring, and there was no open window, fan or furnace vent near them. Then in 2000, my 24 year old nephew died in an auto accident and my lamp in the living room started turning on and off at random times. It still does this nearly every day and sometimes in the middle of the night, I'll wake up and see the light on. He has also turned the stereo and TV on at his parents house many times. This never happened before he passed away.
I went to see a psychic after they died and he said I have a lot of dead people around me......

One evening after work (around 6:00ish), I was lying on my bed reading the paper, the lights and the t.v. were on. All of a sudden the room got a little chilly and I with my sober eyes, saw the end of the bed sink in as if someone sat on it?? My ego took over as opposed to fear and I simply said "get the f%^ out of here" out of amazement more than anything. The end of the bed rose (as if whatever it was got up and left) and the room returned to its normal temperature?????

I had a boyfriend commit suicide on April 10 and there for a while every time I started my car the clock would say 4:10. I would also wake up every morning at 4:10 for a year after he died. Also, there was one time I came into work (our clinic was closed so I was the only one there) to do some work and it happened to be my dead boyfriend's birthday. I heard the door that I had propped open close and then the alarm started going off. There are only certain doors that trigger the alarm and the one I had open isn't one of them. The only way the alarm is tripped is if a door leading to the outside is actually all the way opened....and of course they were all locked! I grabbed my pepperspray and went to investigate and found I was still the only one in the building! Have fun at the haunted house on Friday....happy Halloween!!!!

So I had just moved into this rental with my boyfriend who was working out of town. It was a large 2 story home, very nice. There was nobody in the house, just me and my cat. I was almost asleep when I heard the sound of someone running up the stairs and then my cat sunk her claws in to me, hair up, eyes dilated staring at the bedroom door (which was at the top of the stairs). I got up thinking maybe my boyfriend was there. NOPE! The house was empty. So I tried going back to sleep when my shower turned on and off 2 times. It was an awesome night.Over the next few months living there my radio downstairs would come on blasting at 2 or 3 in the morning. Our fire alarms ALWAYS went off and I don't know how many times I replaced the batteries in those things just to make sure that wasn't why. That house was horrid!

Happy Halloween
