The House On White River Drive

My husband and I moved about a year ago from a house that I have no doubt was haunted. There were several instances where I had a paranormal experience. My mother did as well. I'll try to keep this as chronologically correct as I possibly can.

The first event was before I'd met my husband and I was living with my parents while I was going to school. One morning I was having a hard time finishing an essay for English so I decided to go out and print what I had to show the teacher and get some advice. I went to my parent's computer with my flash drive. Their computer was in the kitchen in the far corner. We usually kept the door open that lead from the kitchen to a small mud room/ laundry room because my cat's food was in there. It was around 3 in the morning and I had just hit print when I had this overwhelming feeling I needed to look toward the back door. Through the small window I saw a man who looked like the left half of his face was melting off. This scared me so badly that I ran back into my room leaving my flash drive and printed essay behind until daylight.

The next incident was just a few months later. My mother was taking a shower and she heard a voice say very clearly "Get out. I was here before you." She freaked out and yelled so loud my dad ran in and had to stay with her until she finished washing. That day my dad went to their pastor and got blessed oil. (It ended up not working.)

The third time was a few months after my husband and I got married. We were living with his mother at the time because of financial hardships and my parents asked us to watch their house while they went to Reno, NV for a weekend trip. We happily accepted. My husband was playing his video games in the living room and I was watching. It was around 10 at night so we were both in our pyjamas. Suddenly there was a loud knock on the sliding glass door that was right beside the kitchen. We opened the curtains and it was one of the neighbours. Apparently the field behind our neighbourhood had caught on fire. It took about 2 hours to put out completely and I went to tell the police officer and firemen what I'd seen or heard (which was nothing). I gave them a number to reach me at and left for the house. I looked back and beside the fire truck was a floating blue cloud. In my head I heard a very evil laugh. I jogged back inside to meet my husband and told him what I saw. He looked outside and saw it too. We locked the door but barely slept that night.

The last one happened about two months before we moved out of that house. My husband and I were then living with my parents. An old lady lived across the street and no one had seen her for about a week. My husband and I slept on futon mattresses on the floor and I had my hope chest at the foot of the bed. One night we were playing cards and I was leaning against my hope chest. Suddenly I felt it shake and heard what sounded like someone on the inside pounding and kicking the sides and lid trying to get out and a terrifying female scream. I jumped up and ran to the other side of the bed. My husband and I looked at each other and he asked, "Did you hear that?" I said. "Yeah and I felt it too." I was shaking at the time but my husband managed to calm me down enough to go to sleep.

The next day a few of the neighbours called the police to check on the old lady. About an hour later an officer was on our front porch. Apparently the old lady had fallen and broken her hip so badly she couldn't walk. She was taken to the hospital and died later that day from some sort of infection she'd been taking antibiotics for.

We moved out of that house about a year ago though the paranormal occurrences haven't stopped.
