The house I grew up in located in Albuquerque on north 3rd street has been the site of some strange stuff. The house was originally owned by my grandparents. When my grandpa died my grandma lived there for a few years but eventually gave it to her youngest (blood) daughter. My gm adopted my mother and aunt. Right after my gp died my cousin and my grandma were in her bedroom at the top of a small set of stairs. At the bottom of the stairs is the living room. Whenever you are "upstairs" and the lights are off downstairs you cannot see down there. Well my gm and cousin where up there with only the tv on, so they could not see down into the livingroom. They heard my grandpa's voice. It called out his real (blood) daughter's name. They said they heard it call 3 times. When my gm moved out and gave the house to her real daughter she and her husband started experiencing things. My uncle told me he would go to bed and make sure that all the windows and doors were closed. In the morning he would find the front door open. My aunt also said she heard her name called out by her father several times.

Another time me and my mom were alone at night. The house has a rectangular front yard, so the house sits kinda back from the street. We have always had several dogs ever since I was little. The dogs always bark if someone even walks by on the street. They bark at everyone. even family members. So NO ONE AT ALL can approach the house without us knowing it. Well that night we were in my gm 's old bedroom now the living room watching TV. Out of the blue some one started banging on the front door. By the way the dogs were all out in the yard and they just went nuts. I was kinda afraid to answer the door. I waited about 1 minute and went out the door. What makes this REALLY scary is in front of the house is a green house. We ALWAYS keep the door locked on the greenhouse. So someone had to get through the LOCKED green house door to get to the front door. There is no light in the gh. The light sits outside the gh door. When I went out there was of course no one there. Another strange thing with the dogs is that They were always getting out of the yard. Sometimes we'd be gone and come back to find all the dogs gone. The first time it happened we finally started looking in the neighborhood and found the dogs running around. Well there are more things but the story is getting long so I'll say later.
