Haunted House Update: OT

I met a neighbor from two doors down yesterday. Her husband is a policeofficer, and they have lived in the neighborhood for a number of years. Thisis a real community, and people know one another and help each other out.Anyway, we had a big dumpster/rolloff thing for the weekend, as we had a lotof junk to throw away that the prior owners left in the house. Plus, we toreoff the back porch, removed ALL the kitchen cabinetry and got rid of thelast bits of carpeting. Oh, and about two tons (no exaggeration) of rocksthat had been painted white and used to line the gardens.Our home was one of four in a row that housed three sisters and an aunt. Ican only imagine what wonderful family gatherings took place here. Ourneighbor to the north is the last of this group.The neighbor we just met was dropping something off next door and commentedabout all the work we had done over the weekend. Out of the blue, she askedif we had seen anything in the house. We looked at each other, then said,'Why do you ask'?She said that a couple of years ago when the son of the prior owner passedaway, she helped the family out, acting as hostess and such when visitorscame to the house. She talked about some things she experienced in theupstairs bedroom where my workroom is, and they parallelled what has beenhappening since I opened up the room to use it.Then she said that Mrs. L, the woman we bought the house from, was convincedthat there was at least one spirit in the house. Particularly the one thatcomes down the stairs, moves past the fireplace, then fades through thedining room. That's the one my cats and puppy play with.Both the neighbor and Prairieson experienced someone tugging at the back oftheir shirt, then giggling.The activity has really picked up here since we started ripping out thekitchen.
