This is one occurrence that I have had when I was spending the night at my boyfriend's house. For added info., his house used to be a hospital during a war about a 100 years or so ago. Anyways, we were the only ones in the house at the time which is very huge and has two large rooms in the basement, five rooms on the main floor, five on the 2nd floor, and two in the attic. We were in the same bed sleeping quite soundly. I awoke to hear many children running down the hall shouting and laughing. I thought nothing of it and went back to sleep. The next morning, my boyfriend told me about his dream (he thought it was) and how he had woke up to find a little boy crying in the corner of the room. He got up and went to help the little boy when all of a sudden it's face opened up and screamed at him with an ungodly roar. Then he woke up and looked around to an empty room except for me fast asleep at his side. We both knew how the room next to ours used to be a nursery a long time ago.

Another experience was when my boyfriend and I were in the large kitchen with his brother and his brother's two friends and girlfriend. We were all eating root beer floats when I noticed the cupboard start to open slowly and then I saw a small cup slide from the back of the cupboard and onto the floor. I looked over at my boyfriend's brother and he gave me a weird look.

I have had many strange experiences in that old house and have also heard many others from my boyfriend's family. One interesting experience happened to us when we were sleeping in the basement which has a laundry room, one large room (bedroom) and a small room connected to it that had the furnace and water-heater in it. Anyhow, we had both doors shut and we were laying on the waterbed watching a movie. When the movie got over, we turned the TV and VCR off and started to go to sleep. We, and everyone else, have heard lots of footsteps at nighttime before, but that night they started to run across the whole house. First it would start slow and soft as if someone was just walking around the house, then it would get louder and faster. We knew that no one was there because we were the only people staying in the house at the time. His family had moved to another state. So the funniest part about that was that the footsteps would stay soft and slow until we started kissing and the further we would go with it the faster and louder the footsteps would get. We would ignore it and keep getting frisky. When we started to get "together" the footsteps would stop and then there was a loud pounding on the floor directly above us and then the lights turned off and on a couple of times. This only happened to us on two occasions. We were so scared we threw on our clothes, ran upstairs, and out of the house. That was the last time we slept there.

One other thing was a story that my boyfriend told me that happened when he was little. He had a library book from his school and it was due back. His whole family of 8 searched the whole house top to bottom, couldn't find it, and paid the fine. After about 9 years, when they were taking a bearing wall out to repair it, they found the children's book stuck between two studs. There was no way that it could have been placed there- no vents, no holes, nothing.

The last story I will share happened to me when I was cleaning the spiral staircase that leads upstairs. My boyfriend had went to the gas station to get us a pop and I stayed back to help clean. I felt a very strong presence behind me. I started to get very anxious and hurried up to the top. I no longer felt the presence behind me, but flipped on the light to see a white, transparent figure of a woman at the end of the hall. She had her hair pinned on top of her head and was wearing a long dress that had a cross sewn into it. I just stood and stared at her. She smoothly floated across the floor past me and into the nursery and disappeared. I went into the nursery and didn't see anything. Then I went downstairs and sat on the deck until my boyfriend got back. I was pretty freaked out by then and didn't say a word. My boyfriend took me inside and I told him what happened. He then began to tell me how he had seen her before on a few occasions, but she never bothered anything. He didn't tell me that before, so he wouldn't scare me. The scariest part was when we were cleaning out the closet in the nursery and discovered a small, loose panel in the wall. We pulled it out and there was a small teddy bear and a box. The bear had the moving legs and arms and was very old looking. In the box were two rings and a picture. The picture was in black in white. It was a picture of a medical staff and a group of small children taken in front of the house. In the middle of the picture was a woman that looked exactly like the one that I saw! 

How freaky is that?
