HOUSE SPIRIT
I would have been about 10 years of age and living in my parents house in Melbourne,
Australia. I am now 45 and quite sane but I still recall a couple of sightings in this house.
The first one occurred when I woke up at night for no apparent reason. I have no idea what the
time was, although I did hear some roosters crowing from nearby properties so I guess it may
have been close to dawn. Keeping in mind that the room was very dark, I sat up in my bed and
looked towards my bedroom door and saw what I thought was the outline of a human figure in
white. Straight away I panicked and hid my head under the bed covers. I find the next part of
the story rather strange.
The second occasion occurred on Christmas morning
about 12 months later. Being a child and eager
to see what I had under the Christmas tree, I
woke up about 4.00 AM and as I was leaving my
bedroom I could see a white figure blocking my
view of the kitchen stove whilst I was walking to
the loungeroom. The figure would have been about
5 feet tall. I was fully awake and I am certain
of what I saw. I crept to my brothers room and
told him what I saw and when we returned the
figure had gone.
As my brother and myself grew into teenagers and
started going out to dances and parties and
coming home at odd hours at night, these figures
were never seen again. I am now a married man
with teenage children and I still believe I saw
spirits as a child. My parents still live in the
same house.

As I lay in my bed, totally petrified, I could hear what sounded like
material being dragged over my bedroom carpet towards my bed and it stopped when it got to my
bedhead. I cannot understand this because I thought spirits had no material content.
However, after some time I slowly peeked out the
top of my covers and I saw a white figure with
eyes made up of round circles and dots in the
middle and no mouth or nose to speak of. I
slowly retreated under my covers again and after
a while, I don't know how long, the carpet noise
occurred and the spirit had gone, probably to my
brothers bedroom.
