These occurences happened in New Zealand where you do not normally hear very much about ghost story's but this is mine and it happened on the 2/8/2002.

Me and my Dad recently moved into a nice clean house in quite a posh street. When we moved in our neighbours seemed to try and dodge us even though we were trying extremely hard to make new friends, we even asked the people across the street to come round for dinner but they made up some excuse that was very much unbelievable.

The first night we stayed there was nothing abnormal, but things changed the second night around. I was having a shower and the door to the bathroom was the kind that was able to be seen through but it was all blurry if you know what im talking about, anyway I was having a shower and I heard knocking on the door and because I knew that it was only my dad and I in the house I thought it was him I looked at the door and I saw a shadow of a body through the glass and it looked like it just walked away casually.

After the shower I went to my dad and said "The shower is free now, you need patience" and he replied with "what do you mean I dont want a shower" and I said "then why did you bang on the door" and he said "I didn't" we talked about it for awhile and I wasn't to sure if I believed him.

I went to bed and fell asleep quite quickly and woke up at about 2:00am to a loud crash I ran to the hallway and saw that the grandfather clock that had been and I quote "BOLTED TO THE WALL IN CASE OF AN EARTHQUAKE" and been ripped out of the wall and was laying on the floor. when I looked further down the hall and saw a little boy probly about 8 or 9 kneeling on the ground crying and when I walked closer to him he disappeared slowly that is all that has happened major but since then I have heard cries coming from the hallway around about the same time.

I talked to a kid about my age (16) that lives down my street that I sort of knew, and I told him what happened he filled me on in some information that apparently there was a family that lived there a long time back, probly before I was born, and that there was an murder in the house and a mother and the son was killed, the mother was killed in my room and the son was killed in the hallway. I haven't seen the mother yet and I dont know their names, and I intend on finding out. I will keep you posted , wish me luck.
