My Mother has a ghost in her home in Florida, located on a
island in the Gulf of Mexico, north of Tampa Bay.
She had just moved into it for a short while, when things
began to happen.
Every night at 3:33 a.m. something starts throwing things
around in the living room, at least that’s what it sounds
like. She can hear the chairs being moved around and objects
being dropped on the floor, but when my mother gets up to
check, everything is in it’s place and nothing has been
disturbed.
After several weeks of this, she finally yelled
“Knock it off, I am trying to sleep!” and it stopped for
about a month and then it only happened sporadically.
The ghost likes to do things during the day, but they
aren’t quite as dramatic. Sometimes the TV comes on by itself
or there are times when she is watching a channel and she
wants to change it to something else and she can’t change
the channel. She will push the buttons but the channel stays
the same, whether she uses the remote or gets up and tries
to change it on the TV itself. Eventually, she can change it
but it takes a few minutes. The ghost seems to have a few
favorite stations it gets stuck on.
The ghost also likes to move things around.
My mother has a stained glass piece of art to hang on the window so the
sunlight comes through the colors of the piece, but the
ghost doesn’t seem to like it as it sets this art piece down
on the floor almost every day.
My mother had only one real direct contact with the ghost.
She had a friend over for dinner and the dining area looks
out over the water and has windows nearly surrounding the
entire room. As they were about to say grace, there was
suddenly a loud pounding on the windows right in front of
them but there was no one there. They got up and
investigated but found no one. When they sat down again, the
pounding happened for a second time. They were fairly
unnerved, but managed to eat dinner without further incidence.
A few months after my mother had moved in and had all these
weird things happening, she found out that the foundation of
the house was cracked. Apparently the previous owners had
tried to cover it up with cement so that the inspectors
would not know the foundation was cracked. The whole house
had to be torn down and my mother sued (and won) the
previous owners for fraud. She re-built a new and beautiful
three story home on the same spot and after it was
completed, there was no incidents for months. Then the ghost
seemed to come back but only to move the art piece
occasionally and to fool with the TV again.
There has been no pounding or rampages in the living at 3:33 a.m. anymore.
The grandkids are afraid of the 2nd floor bathroom but other
than that, the ghost seems pretty calmed down.
My mother likes to think that the ghost was trying to warn
her that the house was faulty and that is why it was so
active until the secret was revealed. Now maybe the ghost
hangs around because it’s such a cool house with a great
view of the Gulf of Mexico. Who knows?
