If anyone is familiar with Bucks County, PA, they are well aware of it's history and that it's known for having it's share of ghost stories. This took place back in 1980 at my friends home which was located close to Jericho Mountain. The background of her home, her mother was an architect who designed this house which sat at the base of this small mountain and overlooked the area with an inground pool right out the front door. She designed the home with large glass sliding doors which led into a large open dance floor and a ceiling that went up two floors. There was a stairwell that seperated into two different directions, one side was for the two girls, the other side was for the two boys.

The occurrences began after her mother passed that same year. Her mother was sitting in the kitchen one morning and unfortunately she went into cardiac arrest and passed away. A few years prior to that, her brother was killed in a car accident. My friend and her father were the only one's left living in this large house since her other brother and sister had their own family. During the summer months I would stay with her while her father worked, so of course, we were the only one's home when things would happen. It first started in the kitchen, especially where her mother use to sit, I would just have this feeling to look up and out to the kitchen and would see her mother's chair slide out from underneath the table, as if someone was getting up and then would hear footsteps to the bedroom which was off of the kitchen, well, we followed those footsteps which stopped at her parents bed, we would then see an indentation form on her mother's side of the bed as if she was REALLY LYING THERE!..

Another time we were putting this old racetrack together in her deceased brothers bedroom, well, we needed oil for the track, so my friend went downstairs to find some, I was working away on the track when I heard something fall in the joining brother's bathroom, it sounded exactly like a heavy hair brush. I ignored it, then the room dropped in temperature and I heard the CRASH AGAIN, BUT LOUDER! Well, I never ran so fast in my life down those flights of stairs to where my friend was. I told her exactly what happened, we both went back upstairs, opened the door, turned on the light.....nothing!! That bathroom was completely empty!! I mean empty, not even toilet paper! Well, we packed things up and left for my home, which unfortunately was very haunted! But, as they say, that's another story.....
