True Ghost Stories
The spookiest things that have happened to me
“Do you remember one year the day before Halloween Daddy?”
“I’m not sure, remind me.”
“You heard a loud bang…”
That was a conversation I had with my daughter today, driving to her swimming lesson. I do remember what happened, it was borderline scary. The sort of scary that makes for a good story when you’re with a friend late at night, but it wasn’t ‘abandon your house in the middle of the night scary.’
I’ve had a one of those as well. And yes, I abandoned my house in the middle of the night, taking my family with me. I had to get out of there. And I didn’t return until the rental lease was coming to an end, just to collect my belongings. That was the kind of scary that you don’t forget about, even when you can laugh a little at the whole experience. Getting to that stage has taken me seven years.
I’ll tell you what happened in my rented property, with my young family. But let’s start with the mild stuff. The loud bang.
