When I was either 8 or 9 my uncle (lets call him C)
committed suicide
after killing a man. This happened late in October. After his estate
was settled my other uncle (G) got his tool chest of drawers (you
know the tall red craftsman things). My mother, brother, sister and I
lived in the bottom portion of the house and my uncle (g) and his
family lived in the top portion. So that you may understand the
story a little better I need give a little bit of layout info on the
house.
When you came in the front door you did not immediately reach
the inside of our house there was a small foyer to the right was our
front door, to the left there was a door that led to the basement on
the outside of the house there was another door that led to the
basement keep in mind that both of these doors were ALWAYS kept
locked and the only person that had a key was my uncle.
A few weeks
after the funeral was when everything started. One night my mother
and all of us kids were in the living room watching television when
we heard a noise, it was the sound of someone moving tools around
metal against metal. My mother thinking it odd that my uncle would
be down there so late, as he went to bed very early. My mother went
to the basement door and the door was padlocked like it was every
night she also went outside and checked the door out there and that
too was locked.
A few months later my cousin (uncle C's daughter)
was visiting, she loves my mothers lasagna so they had gotten
everything they needed and were working on it but when it came time
to use the cheese they couldn't find it (I know for a fact that it
made it home because I put it in the fridge) either way we looked
EVERYWEHRE for it but couldn't find it. You may think that this has
nothing to do with my dead uncle but the cousin that was over was my
uncles favorite daughter and my uncle LOVED my mother's lasagna.
The
last thing that happened was around christmas we had put up the
christmas tree the night before this happened. We had been at my
aunts house the whole day just hanging out and it was late when we
got home but as soon as we walked in the door and turned on the
light we saw that the christmas tree looked like someone had grabbed
it and thrown it across the room, there were ornaments everywhere.
My mother thought that someone had broken in but after checking the
house all of the windows were locked and the doors were too.
One
last thing my uncle C HATED christmas. After that my mother had
finally had enough, she is a very religious lady and she doesn't
believe that the dearly departed can come back so she lit some white
candles said a prayer and ordered whatever was in the house to get
out.
After that night we didn't have any problems. We later moved
out of state.
Thanks for reading my story. It may not be very scary
but every word is true.
