When the new owners moved into the home, it suddenly became obvious to them that they were not alone. Door knobs would turn with deliberation, doors would creak open and slam shut by unseen forces, phantom footsteps would be heard distinctly walking up the stairs in the middle of the night, and shadowy silhouettes would appear beneath doorways when no one was home. Many of these encounters soon became commonplace and it was no longer unusual to walk dead center into an unexplainable cold spot that chills you to the bone. In fact, the Owners soon realized that several spirits resided in the home, which they later surmised were: an old gray-haired lady on the swing, a younger distressed female, a little girl around the age of 7 or 8, a teen-aged boy named Billy, the mysterious burned woman, and a tall, slim man who smoked cigars.
