Denial

It all began when my grandparents moved in to their new house. Before they moved in a family lived in the house with a young boy. One day the boy decided to play with matches in the laundry room, what he didn't know was there was a gas leak. Needless to say the boy blew up against the wall, leaving bloodstains on the wall permanently. They've tried to paint over it time and time again, but it doesn't cover up so, they just put a freezer in front of the stains. Ever since I can remember, I have seen a shadowy figure in a long sort of nightgown type clothing walk from my grandmother's bathroom to her bedroom. I thought I was the only one who saw it until my family and I were sitting around the kitchen table and I brought the subject up. As soon as I brought it up everyone at the table "with the exception of my grandmother" said they saw the exact same apparition I did. Even my grandfather admits seeing it. So far everyone, I mean everyone, in my family except my grandmother has seen it. She refuses to hear or let us talk about it. We don't know what it is nor who it is. One night I was sleeping over at her house and I saw it, I thought it was my grandmother, but when I looked over beside me she was sitting there reading a book. I found out that a lot of other people in my family had this same experience. Odd, Huh? To this very day I see it every time I go there and every time I mention it my grandmother denies it. Is it just our family or her?
