In my life l have had three experiences with ghosts. The last being after my mother passed in December. The one l'm writing about now happened when my children were young. In February years ago, my sister's family were all going away for a few days. She needed someone to come morning and night to put the dog in and out, and take care of the plant seedlings she had. My daughter, Monica, said she would take care of the dog and so the first three days went off without a hitch. It was the evening of the fourth day that unexplainable things happened. It was dark when my daughter and l went down the road to Nancy's house. Upon arriving there, Monica went around back to call for the dog and get her evening food. When l descended the stairs into the basement I didn't know which way to look. All the shoes and boots from the closet were strewn across the floor. Then l noticed two larger men's boots were placed toe to toe in front of the room where the plants were. Someone wasn't happy with me going in there. I wasn't long heading back upstairs, grabbing Monica and racing for home. Our heads were swivelling around 180 degrees making sure nothing was after us. I never realized how closely we were pressed together as we raced home, until l was telling my husband what we saw and realized my shoulder was sore. My husband drove us back down and looked all around, but nothing was amiss. The next day l notified my sister as to what happened, she said, "Oh that's just the mother-in-law. Since she passed, many strange things have happened. Sometimes when we are just sitting around the vacuum comes on. We figure she's just trying to tell us the house needs cleaning."   Submitted By: NULL
