My mom likes to exaggerate, but she did tell me that when I was really young, I could see and hear ghosts. At one point in time we stayed over my grandmother's house when I was young, and late one night apparently I was calling for help upstairs in the bedroom. My mom and grandmother came to see what was up, and supposedly I told them that there was a little boy standing there in the corner wearing pajamas and carrying a small blanket...telling me to "stay away from the water". It freaked them out because my grandmother's first son died, drowning in the tub when he was real young, and what he looked like to me is exactly what they said he was buried in. I never talked to my grandmother about it, but knowing my mom I always figured she was full of shit about the whole thing.

Fast forward...

I moved into my grandmother's house a few years back, her health wasn't doing so good, she'd fall sometimes and her heart was getting weaker so since I was moving back up this way, the family encouraged it. Last year she fell one too many times and her time was getting near, so the family put her in a care center. I visited her one time and she asked me if Jimmy had been bothering me lately. I told her "nah, he's probably busy with his kids or working, we don't really hang out." She goes, "no, not your cousin...your uncle." It didn't exactly click with me at first when she said that, but then she started telling me her side of the "incident" that had happened that night.

Man that shit gave me the creeps, I was always looking over my shoulder all the time for weeks in that house from that point on and especially after she passed away.



On the Ghost Hunters show topic, I watch it and found it actually helpful in debunking my own house. The whole creepy feeling in the basement being the symptoms brought on by lots of electrical wires made a ton of sense when I actually noticed it.

Sometimes they get some good "evidence" though, the one episode that gave me the creeps had them checking out an old hotel where apparently a little girl haunted. Her dress was actually in the attic and they checked it out, they checked out her bedroom, some other rooms, took video in the dark, and even did voice recordings in the basement where the kids used to play hide and seek.

So they find very little to no info, until they check the voice recordings from the closet in the basement. They had to turn it up, but it had a little girl's voice and she was saying "can you find me?". It gave me some serious chills.
