I had just bought a new copy of Pink Floyd "The Wall." My friend and I were listening to it for the first time in my room. The room was about 8x10, with the stereo in the back of the room. The speakers were mounted on shelves in the back corner of the room. In the beginning of the album you hear an airplane in the distance, approaching getting increasingly louder and flying directly over head. At the point where the plane is directly over head and at the loudest, one of the speakers came off the shelf as if it was thrown and went across the room and out into the hallway maybe 12 feet or more. The stereo cut off and it got very quiet for a moment while we sat there trying to figure out what just happened. My friend jumped up and ran screaming out of the room, down the stairs and out the front door. He never came back to the house and I never did play the rest of that album.
Over time several other things had happened in that house. Dinner plates being moved shortly after I had set the table. I even saw the figure of a tall man standing in the doorway of my room. He was wearing overall's, a white long sleeve shirt with the sleeves rolled up on his forearm. His left hand was on his hip and right arm extended out and resting on the door frame. He nodded his head a few times and slowly disappeared.
The last time I was in that house was for the funeral of an old friend in 1998. I was asked to wear my sheriff's uniform for the funeral. At the time, there were 3 adults and one 2yo in the house. My mother was wheelchair bound and on the bottom level of the house. My wife and I were on the second floor. She was down the hall in the shower while I was in the bedroom shining shoes. I had used liquid edge dressing and put the shoes on a newspaper to dry then went down the hall to get a shower. My wife and I talked the whole time while I was in the shower so she didn't leave the room. When I was done, I went to get dressed and saw that my shoes were gone. I started yelling - at the house! Demanding that my shoes be returned. Since I couldn't find them I decided to wear sneakers and would stop at the uniform place along the way. We were planning to go back to our house after the funeral so I took our bags out to the car. I opened the trunk and nearly fell over as I had just found my shoes sitting there.
