Creepy Farm

I've been reading stories on this site for months now and love the hair-raising creepiness of them all. I moved in with my husband four years ago. He lives, and now I do too on a hundred acre farm in West Quebec Canada. The house is small and used to be a hunting shanty then added onto to make a lath and plaster house. It's over 150 years old and has two bedrooms and a bathroom up stairs complete with slanting ceilings. My husband bought the place off the guy whose family has lived here since it was 'settled' back in the day. This man's father was a drunk and when we were cleaning up the place we found hundreds of liquor bottles hidden in all the out buildings.

The first creepy thing that happened was the knock at the door. It was a clear knock, three times, my dog even barked but when I went to the door no one was there. We are the only house on our street and our nearest neighbor is a mile away at least. It isn't like it was kids playing a prank on us. My husband and I didn't say much about it, we don't like to call attention to who ever it is that lives here with us, because we feel like if we leave it in peace it'll do the same for us.

The next thing happened when we were cleaning the drunken old man's tools up in the barn. There was a huge saw blade about four feet across used on old tractors, there was a nine inch nail in the wall, and the saw blade was hanging on it through the hole in the middle. My husband was under it cleaning up some dirt when it fell off that nail and hit him on his hand, he was wearing leather gloves and so was unharmed, if not unnerved. The nail was so long some one would physically have to move it away from the wall for it to fall like it did.

Then just the other week I was doing the dishes and reached to the cupboard to put a plate away when the cupboard opened on it's own for me! It was so weird, like some one wanted to help me with the dishes. I didn't say anything about it to my husband as it freaked me out, but three minuets later he saw some one walk by our window! Of course when we went outside no one was there, it was very strange.

Then a couple days later the lights flickered on and off, they did this several times but when my husband went out to the breaker box nothing was wrong. He even went through each switch and turned them off then back on to make sure. When he got back inside the lights flickered again. It was only the lights on one side of my house, very strange. Anyway these are my creepy experiences hope you enjoyed!
