We have lived in several haunted houses through the years, and one of them is located at 734 SW Center St. in Sheridan Oregon. I sometimes wonder if something may be following us from house to house, as things seem to happen in every house we move to. The house in Sheridan had many occurrences. They are too long to list, but I will tell a few. One morning, I was getting ready for work and I had just got out of the shower. My hair was up in a towel. It was very early in the morning around 6 am. I had just looked down at my clothes on top of the washer, when I seen someone come around the corner at the end of the hall. I knew it was something, and not my hair or anything, since it was in a towel. I made myself look up, and saw a gray figure, like a woman's figure, but I couldn't see the face. It looked like it was wearing a ragged, gray dress. I freaked, and woke my husband and told him. Another time, my husband had just left to take our son to school, and it was early in the morning around 8am. He had left around 5 minutes and my 2 year old daughter and I heard a cupboard close in the kitchen. We were in the back bedroom. She said "Daddy", and I told her no, that's not daddy. I just stayed in the room until my husband got home. Another morning, my son started to choke, and cough and gag. I went to him in the kitchen, and I too, began to choke and gag and my chest felt as if it were being constricted. I knew we had to run out of there as fast as we could, and get our 2 year old daughter out too. There was no odor, but it was like pepper spray, or mace was being sprayed at us. We returned later, and all was fine again. No smell and no explanation. Someone or something would open up my neighbor's gate at night all the time. It was a duplex, and there were only her and our apartments that adjoined each other. On both sides of this duplex, were 2 houses that should be condemned, and now to this day, one no longer stands. On one occasion, I awoke around 11:30 pm, to the sound of what seemed like a giant piece of sheet metal being smashed against the empty house that is now no longer there. The sound would bang around 15-20 times and would stop. If anyone knows of maybe something following a person from residence to residence, please e-mail me. Not EVERY house we live in could be haunted !!??
