The Three Ghosts
August 6th, 2008 by John WolfeWelcome to the first entry of the Ghost Hunters Season 2 – Part 2 Giveaway. The following submission comes from Brian M. of Myerstown, Pennsylvania:
“My wife and I are both very interested in the paranormal. This is, at least in part, because we have had personal experiences with what we believe are ghosts or some sort of entities.
My own experience came when I was around six years old. I was visiting my aunt in her 18th century New England farmhouse. She had claimed for years her home was haunted; citing examples ranging from noises, to shadows, to an antique toy collection being moved. The movement of the old toys always gave the impression someone or something had been playing with them.
I can recall looking out of her kitchen window and telling my mother I wanted to go outside and play with the little girl who was waving to me. Upon looking out the window, my mother and aunt saw no one. They asked me if she was still there. I said she was and that her name was Emily. Through research, my aunt did discover there was a little girl who suffered an accidental death in the home. Her name was Emily.
My wife’s paranormal experiences have been just as pronounced. One of her encounters also occurred in an old farmhouse, turned restaurant, that was formerly known as the Hannah Jack Tavern (it is now called The Common Man) in Merrimack, New Hampshire. This location has historical importance because Hannah, the original owner, was the wife of a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
The restaurant was divided into a number of small rooms for its patrons. Assuming my wife and I were eating dinner alone in our section; I was surprised when she quietly asked me if I could see the woman in the room with us. I responded that I could not. She described the woman as being dressed in colonial era clothing. She appeared to be watching us eat and seemed content that we were enjoying ourselves. After arriving home that night, I did some research online and found that a number of other diners shared the same experience as my wife.
Finally, the most eerie, and at the same time comforting, experience occurred before my wife and I were married. We had a slightly rocky engagement with the occasional argument; just as many couples do. One evening, after a fight, she went to bed questioning whether or not she was making the right decision in marrying me.
In the middle of the night, she felt some pressure on her legs. She looked down; assuming it was our cat, but instead found the figure of a man peering back. My wife claims that the man stared at her, then looked over at my sleeping form lying next to her, and then back at her again. Suddenly, he nodded (as if in approval) and then vanished. The next day, my wife told her mother about the entire experience and described the man in detail. My mother-in-law informed her that the person she described sounded just like my wife’s grandfather, who passed away when she was only three years old.
Even today, my wife and I both feel we have some sort of paranormal activity in our current home; having experienced unexplained noises and frequently seeing an unexplained shadow, just out of the corner of our eyes.
I hope you have enjoyed my stories. I can only hope that I will continue to have more to tell.”
