I was staying at friends house. She lived in an old house. It was beatiful. She hated to stay alone, and her husband worked out of town alot. She said that she would hear things at night and in the day. She would hear someone walking on the hardwood floors on the main floor. She said she heard the basement door open and shut. She has a young boy, so she would be in bed early, but she would wake up at with the noise she heard coming from downstairs.

I stayed with her one night when her husband was away. We sent her son to her mother's, we rented movies, had popcorn etc. Just the two of us. A "girl's night". We stayed up late, and I forgot about the stories she told me. We were chatting and having a glass of wine, when her son's ball just rolled across the room by itself. We looked at each other and decided it must be the draft.

Just as we began to relax, a candle in the middle of the coffee table lit. The hair on the back of my neck stood up and my freind began to shiver. We got up grabbed our coats and left. We stayed the night at my house.

She and her husband sold the house, moving to a new neighborhood. While they were moving, her little boy kept telling her that they were forgetting Abigail. She later found out that Abigail was the name of the first owner of the house. In the new house, she told me that her son would go play ball by rolling it on the floor. The ball waould hit the far wall and roll about half way back. He never pushed the ball hard enough. When she told him to push it harder so that it would bounce off the wall and come back, he said that Abigail would push it back for him.
