Everything that I am about to tell you is true and sometimes I wish it wasn't. I still dream about this house, 3936 Iowa, and they are not pleasant dreams.

It all began when I was just a little girl and my mom and sisters and I moved into our new home. It had 3 different stories and immediately odd things began to happen. Within the first week my mom was kept up all night with the sound of a baby crying. She went over to the neighbors house the next day to see if their little one was ok, and they said that the baby had slept peacefully all night. There were no other children that lived anywhere near us. Two nights later my mom and my sister and I were on the second floor and heard furniture being moved late at night upstairs. My mom was furious at my other sisters and ran up there to tell them to knock it off and they were all sound asleep and had not moved a thing. By this time we were all pretty spooked. Someone told my mom to get a Ouija board to see if the house was haunted so she did. It told her that the house wanted us out and that it hated me! I was only 8 years old and could not understand this. We asked for the address of an apartment for rent and it gave us a number. My sister called it and there really was an apartment for rent. That night my older sister asked me to sleep upstairs with her. She warned me ahead of time to just keep my eyes closed no matter what I heard. Of course I didn't and in the middle of the night I looked into the other room and saw an old women walking back and forth. She was all bent over and seemed very agitated. I was so scared that I wet my pants.

Even at such a young age, I knew that there was something evil in that house. We didn't know what to do, so we did nothing. Sometimes we would wake up and locked doors would be opened or drawers would be out of the chest in one of the bedrooms. One time I walked past an empty bedroom and the rocker was rocking back and forth as fast as it could. Finally mom called the police, I'll never know why, it wasn't like they could arrest anyone! A police officer came out to the house and began looking around. He didn't see anything strange, but as he was leaving, the piece of wood covering a cubby hole above a door, fell off and almost hit him in the head. You could see the nails that ran around the rim of the piece of wood. There was no way that that wood could have just fallen off. He looked at mom and said, "Lady, if you want this house investigated, you'll have to do it yourself!" He ran out to his car and that was the last time we could get anyone to come out.

We finally moved out and we heard that they put some scientists or something like that in there for awhile, but never could explain what was going on. My sisters and I still talk about this house and we believe that the address, 3936, has alot to do with what is going on there. Think about it.
