Half of this story is true, but the other half I am not
quite sure. I only heard what was told to me. Credible or
not, judge for yourself..
It was about 11 years ago, my family and I moved in a
suburb just outside of New Orleans, LA. Three years prior
to our move-in there was a house (two house away from mine)
occupied by an old couple who had a grandson that suffered
from mental retardation. His name was Billy. Billy was a
very violent kid. He used beat up on the neighbor's kids
and chase them around with a butcher knife. One time he
slashed a little boy with it and sent the boy to the
hospital. The boy suffered from massive bleeding but
luckily survived.
One stormy night, my friend, "Mary" glanced at her bedroom
window and found Billy standing there with the butcher
knife in his hand and naked. Needless to say, she was
scared out of her wits. She screamed from the top of her
lungs. This startled Billy so he ran away quickly into the
rainy night. Just hours later an ambulance siren was
heard all over the neighborhood. Billy had been
accidentally hit by a truck around the corner of the
street. His lifeless body lay naked on the wet concrete
street with the knife still in a tight grip. He was taken
to the hospital in critical condition and was later
pronounced dead. Billy was only 12 years old. The neighbors
mourned and Billy's grandparents were heart stricken.
Shortly after the tragic event, the old couple moved away.
A year had gone by and the house remained unoccupied. Rumors
had it that Billy's ghost haunted the place. Sometimes late
at night, particularly on stormy nights, his ghost could be
seen standing at his bedroom window naked holding the
butcher knife. Mary claimed she saw him while walking by
his house one late evening. He looked exactly the same way
he did on that one fatal night. His skinny, naked body
standing stiff, holding the large cleaver in his left hand
gazing at her with dark piercing eyes, like a psycho
maniac. With just a blink of an eye he was gone.
One day a family moved into the house. The neighbors tried
to keep the rumors from the new occupants in fear that they
would scare the family's kids. One rainy night while home
alone watching TV in the living room, 16-year old, "Amanda"
heard a loud crash in the kitchen. What she found was a
butcher knife lying in the center of the kitchen floor.
Strangely, the draw of which all the knives were kept was
closed. It was though someone had placed the knife right
at the center of the floor and not have fallen directly
under the draw.
Another occurence is when little 10-year
old, Jimmy (the family's son) woke up one morning with
unexplainable bruises on his face. There were four marks
running diagonally down on the left side of his face. It's
like he was slapped hard and had finger bruises. The family
had gotten the idea of an unseen, violent force residing in
the house and moved away shortly after.
It was about 8 months after we moved into the neighborhood
that the next occupants took up the place. I don't think
they had any ghastly encounters for they resided in the
house for over 10 years. As for me, I did not notice
anything strange about it. But, sometimes I would get
extremely frightened when walking by it at night and
thinking about Billy.
