I was cleaning the house one afternoon, and my husband was working outside, and my two daughters, six and two, were visiting with grandparents. While I was downstairs, I heard three doors upstairs slam shut. I thought that my husband had come inside, but when I went upstairs, I couldn't find him. All the windows were closed, so I could safely rule out the wind. As I started down the steps, another door slammed shut, so I turned around and calmly said, "I don't care if you inhabit this house with me, just please do not make your presence known to my daughters."

That night, I was awakened by someone gently rubbing my cheek. Thinking it was my husband, I turned over and when I looked, his back was towards me and he was sound asleep. Every night for a few weeks I was awakened by the same thing. I know that there is a presence in the house, and I feel as if it's not a malicious spirit, just one who seems to like me!

My older daughter told me a couple months after things quieted down, that she knew there was a ghost in the house because he had waved at her and put his finger to his lips as if to shush her when she asked him who he was.

My husband thinks that we're crazy, but I believe that ghost watches over me and my daughter.
