As a small child, around 5. In 1973, My mother and I lived with her mother and sister in a small home. I remember several different incidences involving supernatural forces. 

One day while playing in the yard I came to ask my mother if I could go play with a new friend, I explained that she had a pretty white dress that Jesus gave her and then told her she lived by the river, (no one lived by that river. The Snake) Luckily she was very reluctant, and said no. As a child of course I was angry and pouted. While sitting on the couch I looked at the local paper and noticed a picture of the girl I just met. I told my mom that she was my new friend...It was an obituary of a girl who drowned in the river the previous week. 

Also, we always noticed things like cupboard doors opening and shutting, Glasses sliding across the counter, locked doors being opened while still locked, someone calling my name over and over and over during the night as everyone slept, 

One incident where my cousin was thrust to the floor by an unknown force, things being misplaced or missing, and all the while constant fighting and accusations. Just as several children have imaginary friends, the only time I remember ever believing that one existed for me, and still seems real in my mind, is while we lived in that house. 

He was an extremely tall (giant) man with a little Indian wife and 36 children whom I never saw, Just him (Hurc) He kept me safe and unafraid. I constantly talked about him to my family and seemed to be with him a lot. 

Now I don't know exactly what happened at that house, I know we moved out fast, as a child I really didn't understand the happenings around me. Several years later our family heard a rumor that the housing area we lived in was once a burial ground.
