This story takes place back in 1989.
It was a
few days before Christmas and I was up from
Sydney for a few weeks holiday with my mum and
ex-step father. I came back from a party with
old school mates and stumbled into my bed. Now,
the house my mum and ex-ste father owned used
to belong to a doctor back in the 1960s. The
house itself was built roughly around the 1920s.
A red brick house with a nice big lawn out the
back, just perfect for backyard cricket. Anyway,
getting back to my ghost story.
I was in deep slumber when I suddenly felt
something hit me HARD on the foot, my left foot
to be precise. I woke up and, to my surprise, I
saw a man wearing what looks to be a tartan suit
and a tartan hat with a pompom on it, like the
ones some of the silly looking golfers like to
wear (they remind me of demented clowns to be
quite honest) and he was holding a walking
stick. Man, he looked pissed at me for
something. I remember sitting up with
fascination as he suddenly turned his back on me
and vanished into the door. I sat up and
shouted: "Hey, come back you old goat, I wanna
talk to you"...
I wasn't sure if I should tell mum but I did
then she told me about her experiences like
having some old woman standing over her with a
pillow and an evil grin (I'm fair dinkum about
this) and having the old man standing watching
her.
Like I said, it was a strange house. I used
always get goose bumps as I walk by the bedroom
where I saw the old man.
