Writer's Block: If these walls could talk

Absolutely.

If it was haunted, it would depend on the nature of the spirit remnant. I'd make it feel as comfortable as possible, but if it was of a poltergeist nature, or worse, I'd do everything possible to assist the spirit in finishing the crossover.

I lived in a haunted house. Or, rather, my Mom was haunted.

You know that movie paranormal activity? The plot line is this girl has a ghost that follows her from house to house.

My mom had a very similar situation in her life.

As a child, she had an "imaginary friend" whom she named "snookums." (The ghost apparently did not know what it's name was)

Later, when I was born I would hear a child's voice. Mostly when I was in bed, and as I was trying to fall asleep I would hear a child's voice whisper "Are you asleep?" (Ironically, when I would try and talk to snookums, he would never answer.)

I would also hear what sounded like a child size person run up and down the stairs at night.

Ah, yes, the 'worst' type of haunting - the person-based type. On a curiosity sidebar to that, I have to wonder how many women were burned as witches because they were personally haunted that way too.

The thing is, even though I totally experienced that stuff, I find myself remembering the instances of snookum's haunting only in the abstract.

Oh! My Mom and several other family members could only hear snookums. But my aunt actually caught glimpses of snookum's body parts.

Like a disembodied foot in the hallway, things like that. Never the whole figure though.

Snookums struck me as a terribly lonely, and frieghtened spirit.

That's why I believe snookums was prone to disturbing sleeping people, he didn't want to be alone.

Yes, but ultimately who among us DOES like/want to be alone all the time?
