DOG-LOVING GHOST

I was sitting in my room, after getting out of work, on the second floor. Little bro is downstairs watching TV, the dog is in the hallway outside my door sleeping.

All of a sudden dog starts making all kinds of racket, jumping round, barking, clacking nails, howling. I go to get up to see what's up and I hear "Aw that's a good girl" in a male voice. It didn't sound like little bro so I go "Oh you're home early!" thinking it is my dad's friend/our roomie as I open the door.

Soon as I'm out there there is no one at all but the dog wagging her tail staring at the empty end of the hallway. Little bro comes upstairs to yell at me for getting his dog riled up, said he heard the same voice thinking it was me or our roommate.

We did a once over of the house with my butterfly knife and his BB gun and there was NOBODY. Still gives me the spooks to this day.

UNEXPECTED GUEST

My aunt was home alone, when she heard someone open the door and walking in the hallway. Since her husband (my uncle) was not supposed to get home in a few hours, she went downstairs to see if someone was there.

She did not see anyone, but outside the door she saw footsteps in the snow leading to the door, but not away from it. This got her nervous, and on a second glance she saw a unfamiliar pair of shoes in the hallway. She ran up and called the police, and when they came and searched through the house, the found a homeless man hiding in a storage room, holding my uncles shotgun, but luckily he had not found the ammunition (it was hid another place).

He was arrested, but according to my aunt it is the scariest thing she has ever experienced.

LAST VISIT

Our elderly neighbour fell sick and had to go to hospital. Her niece asked us to take care of her dog while she was away. So after schoolwork and dinner and all, me and my brother were sent over to make sure he was doing ok.

So it was late at night, in this weird old lady's house, my brother was in the shed with the dog and I was in the living room looking at the creepy old photos on the mantelpiece.

What follows is true: I heard the door creak and then a woman's voice called out the dog's name.

I freaked out, turned around, obviously there was nobody about. I thought maybe it was the neighbour's niece, but it had that weird "Did I hear that outside my head or inside it?" echo to it (you know what I mean?) so I also thought I was just letting the creepy house get to me.

But then I went out to my brother and Knocky and he was freaking out too because he thought he'd heard a woman's voice inside the shed with him saying "Oh there you are".

We both agreed the voice had that weird in-your-head sound to it and were convinced there were ghosts in the place. We left the dog in the shed, went home, and were greeted by dad, who told us the neighbour's niece had just called to say the neighbour'd passed away in the hospital a few hours ago.
