Creepy stories

The Wood Walls

“When my daughter was 3, we moved into a new house. The week after we bought the house, my husband and I took vacation from work to paint, put in new carpet, etc., before moving in. The house was really dated, covered in faux wood paneling that had to be removed.

“Whenever I was in the master bedroom working we would get the feeling someone was in there with me. Not a creepy feeling but you know how you can tell when someone has walked into the room when your back is turned? That feeling. After we moved in I heard my daughter chatting away in the living room like toddlers do. I asked her who she was talking to, thinking she’d tell me about an imaginary friend. She said, ‘The people who lived here before. They’re sad that all the wood on the walls is gone but happy your bedroom is blue.’ She’d never seen the wood paneling.”
