Well, my family moved in to my house about 17 years ago. It is fairly big, 2 stories and a basement. There is a big pool out back, deeper than most, the family that built it had it custom built 5 feet deep with a steep slant to 15 feet. From what I heard that family had a little boy about 12 years old who liked to swim in the pool as much as possible. Well one day he was left home with a teenage babysitter who pretty much told him to do whatever he wanted well she talked on the phone. Well the little boy decided to go swimming even though he knew it wasn't allowed unless an adult who could swim was out there with him. Well the little boy drowned...and he is one of the ghosts who haunts this house. And there is another story that is fairly similar, except with a little girl about 6, and her family was actually swimming with her, they just didn't supervise her in the shallow end while jumping off the diving board. Well one of the two stories is true I'm just not sure which one. In our basement are two bedrooms, and one big area. My two brothers used to each use one of the rooms till they were scared out.

What happened was one night while watching tv in the basement, one of my brothers laid down and kicked his shoes off, only to have his shoes fly back at him and hit him in the chest. He would have blamed it on my other brother but he was home alone. When my sister was younger she used to take couch pillows and lean them against the coffee table to cushion her while she watched TV but often times she would run crying to my mom because something would push on the pillow and bother her. One of my other sister used to stay at the house on weekends when the rest of the family would go out of town, she claims to have heard a little girl giggling. Another thing is that in my room, which on the top floor, you can hear someone walking around in the attic, when the only way into the attic has been blocked of for years. The basement is now my dads @ home office and he like to listen to the radio.

Apparently so does the ghost because no matter how many times we turn the radio off and leave the basement, the radio is back on and turned up as high as it can go, we have switched the radio several times, but whatever radio is down it is always on.
