hi my name is beth.About 4 years ago i lived in this house which was haunted i didn't really know it was haunted until i heard this story from my lanlord's wife.It goes like this:once my lanlord's wife names rosa had just moved in the house she went downstairs into the basement to wash clothes around 3:00 in the mourning.She was kindly washing her clothes until she heard her dog barking at something. She told her dog to be quiet or else it would wake up everyone else upstairs.Well her dog didn't listin and kept on barking.She finaly got fed up with her dog and she went to see what it was barking about.Her dog was barking towards a window and there she saw an old man in a striped shirt and overalls playing "peek a boo" with her she got scared and she hit the basement cieling with her broom.Finally she ran upstairs to tell her husband and he didn't believe her. The next day tenent came to her afraid complainin about an old man with overalls rubbing her legs at the foot of her bed. She told him to go away and he faded away.

Rosa then got afraid knowing it was the same old man she had seen that same night.Rosa told her neighbor about it and her nieghbor said that before Rosa moved moved in there was a family whom lost thier grandfather-he died of a heart attack well the grand father died inside the basement of the house.

When i heard this story from Rosa i got scared knowing that i was sleeping this that house then some wierd things began to happen for example like lights flikering and seeing black shadows off the corner of my eye.But soon enough i moved out and never saw the ghost again.
