176 Wickham Road
Not all ghosts are scary. Hi, my name is Maureen.
For the 1st few months, whenever we came home at
any given time of the day, one particular CD was
always laying in the middle of the room or under
the couch, on top of the CD Player or sitting on
a chair. One day, as Greg lay on the floor
reading the paper the same CD (Cold Chisel's Last
Stand) flew out of the holder & hit him on the
back. I know this is true as I watched it happen
from across the room. We decided to play it.
Seems this is what "he" wanted all along, as the
CD stayed put after that.
Again, one summer evening as we sat in the
loungeroom, we watched as a young man walked up
our driveway, past the 2 loungeroom windows &
approach the front door. Greg got up to answer
the expected knock at the front door which didn't
come. He opened the door to find no-one there so
walked towards the driveway (there was nowhere
else this man could have gone). No-one was about
& not enough time had passed for him to disappear
so quickly. We both sensed that this man had
approached the door comfortably (not as a
stranger or a visitor) it was as if it were his
home.
Weeks later I saw the same young man, dressed the
same (in an army jacket and jeans) at my back
door bending down to pat my dog. He vanished as
soon as I turned fully to look at him.
For 2 years he continued to make himself known to
us in little ways, usually by moving small
objects that seemed to interest him, ie: the CD,
books, ornaments and so on. He never broke
anything or caused any sense of fear or
foreboding, it was kind of cool to have him around.
If fact, when Greg was working nights it was a
comfort to know I had a little company, albeit
invisible.
So, as I mentioned in the beginning. Not all
ghosts are scary. We have no doubt our ghost was
real, no-one's imagination could move so much
stuff around for so long. I wonder, did anyone
else live at 176 Wickham Rd and have the same
experience?.
Bye & thanks for taking the time to read this.

Just after we were married, Greg & I moved into a
rented flat at 176 Wickham Rd Moorabbin, Vic.
It was apparent from the start we were sharing
our accommodation. The loungroom was where "he"
mostly hung out, although the temperature didn't
drop in the whole room, we could feel a breeze
(or a cooler area) near us as "he" moved around
the room.
