The man in the window…
It’s no secret , while I’m going through rehab and recovery I’m staying at my mom and dads . Growing up here was rather unsettling at times , and grand at others . An old story my dad would tell us was “Peg leg Wilson ” a made up tail about an old guy with a wooden leg . I wont lie , it scare the crap out of me and I think the other kids as well . We grew up in an old two-story house with plenty of noises on its own , without the manufacture of them . My younger brother and I shared a bedroom , it was the biggest bedroom in the house . It had a small closet in one of the corners that I was always scared of . When the lights went off the noises always began .
I have visited my mom and dad over the years many times and always felt a presence around me . This time visiting I am feeling this a little more , but i put it off due to my body healing . The other day I was wandering around the yard , Taking pictures of some flowers . I actually posted them on 20 lines under the heading of Sights of summer . Anyway , I walked into the garage and heard something , I listened a little closer , It was my name . Someone was calling my name in a weak whisper two or three times . I looked over towards the window of the garage and quickly took a picture . I couldn’t see anything so I blew it off to my imagination and returned inside . Today I looked at the picture , to my amazement there is someone in the window . Now I showed this to my mom ( it’s no one I know ) And she tells me it looks identical to a man who lived here before them . Here’s the thing that has my skin crawling …He died in this house the day I was born….
This is the presence following me….I know now I’m not crazy…..

it could be you notice it more because your senses are sharper now that your body/mind is not pre-occuppied with drugs. i’m the same way to, especially at first,i could be fascinated by a flower or by leaves falling…lol i still am to. i believe in ghost myself, this house is one i stayed in a few times while still useing but i never noticed the odd sounds etc.then. now i do, i hear noises that i know are not just an old house settling. i tried that to about taking random pics. to see what i get but so far nothing, i even left my laptop on with a microphone plugged in to catch evp’s but nothing was on it. i’m happy for you tim and keep up the great work :-)

Hi Tim! How are you? Please tell me this is a Halloween story. That’s creepy. His image is definitely there in the picture. I have some ghost stories about the house I’m living in….Does it make you want to do some research?
