6. Our house is haunted
Thu Oct 9, 2025, 11:58 PM
Thursday

for real ...but there's no scary music.

Doors opening and closing
Things flying out of closets - electrical appliances going on randomly - - - not plugged in!
Objects being moved when no one is in the house
We all saw the same "disappearing man" individually without speaking to each other, until I saw him one day, went to
the front door to see who was walking up the path to the house, and he disappeared. I commented to my son "It happened again"
He asked "What?" "There's a bearded man in a dark coat walking to our house, and when I go to see who it is he vanishes.."
My son said "Oh, you see him too?" I called my husband at work to tell him about this, and he said "matter-of-factly "Yeah, I see him." Beds shaking... stuff like all that.

We think we know who it is. The man is outside is Hiram Cook, a Civil War Captain who built this house for his daughter Floretta.
We think it's either Floretta, or her daughter Irma" who haunts us inside. We just take it for granted and go about our business.
A housekeeper/babysitter quit on us because she was freaked out by the weird antics .

My ambition is that when I pass on, I join Floretta in her mischief for the next family who lives here.
We are the first family other than the Cook heirs to live in this house..

BTW, I don't believe in ghosts.
