As It Happened

When I was 39 which was 13 years ago, I lived in a two storey brick house at Toukley new South Wales, with my husband, two teenage sons, a teenage daughter a 10 year old daughter and a one year old son. We believed that the house was built by and owned by an elderly Italian couple in the 70's or 80's, but they had passed on. It was a very nice house, but some strange things went on.

It was a large house with 5 bedrooms. All the strange stuff happened up stairs.

Well the first thing that happened was when my oldest daughter was staying over for the weekend, with her baby daughter she was 7 months old. Scott my youngest son was 12 months old his room was opposite my room upstairs. We had put the baby's down for the night when about an hour later we heard the most horrible scream we have ever heard before coming from the baby's room. We rushed in to find my son Scott standing up in his cot looking up at the ceiling, and my granddaughter lying down staring at the ceiling shaking. We were concerned at the time but all had settled down.

About a month later we had a few friends over. We were all in the lounge room when one of our friends asked what was near my bedroom door. It looked like a mist of some kind, like haze or fog about the size of a human. We all got up and went near it we did not know what to make of it. One of our friends put his hand through it, and he said it felt icy cold then it went away.

A couple of months later I was home with Scott. He was asleep in his room and I was up stairs watching TV. We had a large fish tank in the lounge room when all of a sudden spark's and flames started coming out of the power point It scared the living daylights out of me. I did not think much about the things that were going on until a short time after we moved out when the house burnt down. It has had me thinking ever since...
