14. A man’s reflection.
One day about a year ago, I was brushing my teeth in my bathroom sink. I look down at the faucet and see a figure standing behind my reflection. I thought my hair was reflecting the dark shape, so I moved it back and turned around to see if there was anything there, and I didn’t see anything. I go back to brushing my teeth and look in the faucet reflection, and the shadow has moved to the corner of my room. It’s tall, like a grown man. It’s black, but not entirely. It looked like it had been charred or burned somehow. I freak out and turn around, there’s nothing in the corner. I am freaking out at this point, so I hurry up and brush my teeth as fast as I can. My curiosity gets the best of me, and I look in the faucet reflection again. This time, the shadow is gone, but there is a black shape hovering over the rim of my bathtub, and a black charred hand with long fingers lists itself up, and then disappears behind the tub. I’ve got quite a few stories from my creepy house if anyone would like to hear anymore!
15. A ghost warning them of a burglary.
When I was a kid one night we all woke up to the sound of our fire alarm going off. My mom ran to where the fire alarm was (right by the back door) and finds the back door swinging open. We had experienced a lot of haunting scenarios in the house (my sister saying a nice old man protected us while we slept) and we believe to this day that someone had broke in and the ghost set off the fire alarm to alert us.
16. An old lady standing at the edge of the bed.
My late father was a priest, and when I was ten and my brother and sister (twins) were four and a half, we lived in this old Victorian vicarage – still had the servants’ bells and everything. Anyway, one morning, my brother was sitting eating breakfast, and he just casually started talking about the “old lady” who always stood at the end of his bed; my dad did some investigating, and it turns out that back when vicars were wealthy enough to have servants a housekeeper passed away in that room…
