I moved into the house that I am currently living in about nine yrs. ago. And strange things started happening only a few short weeks after we moved in. My family was just sitting at the kitchen table and my grandpa was teasing my mom and her sister and everyone was having a good time and they were all laughing, then all of a sudden out of the blue we hear a little girl laugh hysterically in the room off of the dining room and when my mom went in to check who it was no one was to be found. Since then lights turn off and on, water runs without anyone turning it on and toys that have been in the storage room are strewn all over the house. Cousins from out of town who have no idea about our ghost will see a blonde little girl walking the house at night and on several occasions we will hear her laughing and singing. Another strange happening is that a dear close friend of the family (who also happens to be autistic) will all of a sudden talk to something that we can't see and play ball with a child we didn't know is there. Then my little sister had a dream about our little friend and she told her that her name was Emily. Even though we don't have a face ,we now have a name. Most people are afraid of apparitions but "Emily" is harmless and a welcomed part of the family. It gives us something to talk about, I can say we have our own Casper the Friendly Ghost.
