My best friend Sherry lives
in a very haunted house. The house is a fairly new pre-fab house
that sits on two acres of land, south of Preston in Fairview
Idaho. Let me give you a layout of the house so you better
understand what I am talking about. When you walk in the front the
door into the living room there are stairs immediately to your
right that lead down to the partially finished basement. Walking
straight ahead takes you into the kitchen and dining room. To your
left through the kitchen is the laundry room and a bathroom. To
your right is the hallway way leading to another bathroom and two
bedrooms. When Sherry and her husband and two children, they
have five now, moved into the house fourteen years ago, she knew
something wasn't right about it, especially the bedroom next to
hers at the end of the hall. Going into that room made her feel
very uncomfortable and she would keep the door shut to keep
whatever was in there, in there. The children didn't like that
room either and spent little time in there. Through the years she
had all the children have all seen, heard and smelled things in
the house. Her husband has never experienced any of the goings on
in the house. None that he will admit to any way.
She and the children have all seen the caps on their milk jugs and
juice bottles suddenly pop off without explanation. What made this
all the more odd was that those caps were all screw on caps. There
is a cold spot in the kitchen next to the sink, that Sherry has
felt many times. She says it feels like a breeze is passing
through her, even though there are no drafts or breezes in the
house.
Sherry has often hears someone walking up and down the basement
stairs when she is alone in the house. One night about two or
three in the morning, Sherry was woken up by the sound of music
coming from her little boys bedroom. Thinking he had gotten out of
bed and was playing, she got up to put him back to bed. When she
walked into his room she saw that he was sound asleep and his toy
car, which was sitting on the shelf was all lit up and playing
music. This car has to be pushed along the floor to make the music
play and the lights light up. When she picked the car up the
music stopped and its lights went out.
One evening Sherry was finishing up the dishes while her husband
and the kids watched TV. in the other room. Her little boy, who is
in the middle of potty training was in the bathroom doing his
thing, when all of a sudden he shot out of the bathroom with a
look of pure terror on his face. She had never seen him run so
fast and he didn't stop until he reached the safety of his daddy's
lap. She came into the living room and asked him what was wrong
and he pointed in the direction of the living room wide eyed and
tried to tell her what he had seen, but still learning to talk to
she was unable to make out what he was saying. Sherry went into
the bathroom and didn't find anything. She wishes she knew what he
saw in the bathroom that night.
She and all the kids of smelled the smell of cigarettes in the
house, even though nobody smokes and she and all the girls have
been awoken in the night, unable to move, filled with terror.
Sherry woke one night and couldn't move. There was something big
and black standing in her bedroom door. Blacker than any black she
had ever seen. She prayed for help and only then did it go away.
One night her daughter woke up and saw a young girl standing in
her bedroom. The girl had long dark hair and was dressed in white.
Thinking it was her younger sister, she hollered at her and told
her to go back to bed. Only when the girl turned and smiled at her
did she realize it wasn't her sister at all. Then she watched as
the girl walked over to the book shelf and started to play with
her toys and then simply disappeared. Since then she has seen the
girl in her room a few more times.
One night her daughter had several of their friends over for a
sleep over. They were all woken up by a girl with blonde hair
standing in the middle of the bedroom. A breeze was blowing
through her hair, but there was no breeze in the bedroom and the
window was closed.
When Sherry took pictures of her son playing in a card board box
in her room and in the hall way, they came back with bright red
and yellow splashes across them. Pictures on the same roll of film
taken in other rooms came out fine.
Sherry said she has woken up and seen what she describes as little
men with big eyes standing in her room staring at her. She doesn't
know the history of the house, but is considering delving into its
past to hopefully find answers to this haunting.
