It all
started with my parents in the early 50s
in a then small town of Gilroy
California. The house on 6th used to
belong to 2 sisters and there was
nothing strange about the 2, they were
just normal people that past away in the
house. The house was always being rented
out because nobody could live there on
account of the ghosts that dwelled the
house. The longest anyone had ever
stayed in the house was about 6 months,
until my parents moved in. They had been
living in the home for about 1 year when
the spooky stuff started. Several times
there would be knocking on the front
door and my dad would answer but there
was never anyone there. This strange
phenomena went on for quite a while and
one time some of our relatives had come
over and the knocking started. My dad
always thought it might be kids in the
neighborhood playing tricks so my uncle
stood by the back door and my dad by the
front door and when the knocking started
they both opened front & back door & ran
out only to see that there was no one
there. Strange noises could always be
heard under the house and my dad would
look but nothing was ever there. We even
had times where things would disappear
and and then mysteriously reappear.
Another time on the outside of the
house, on the west side corner, anything
mechanical would not work. You could
walk by with a flashlight it would go
out and come back on. Even the radio and
lawnmower would not work. One evening my
mom was washing dishes and to her right
was my sister's roomy (Michelle). My
sister was standing outside the door
looking into the room saying "no I don't
want to go" two or three times and my
mom asked, "who are you talking too?"
she said she was talking to the lady who
was sitting on her bed. My mom ran in
the room and nobody was there. When she
turned on the light she noticed that
there was an imprint on the bed as
though someone was sitting there. One
Saturday my dad was digging a hole to
plant flowers on the side of the house.
As he was digging, the ground gave way
and he fell and began to yell for my
mom. Granted my dad is not very tall but
he could not touch ground because he was
caught up in the shovel and suspended
from the ground. My mom helped him out
of the hole and they went into the
house. After a few minutes they came
back out and the hole was filled back up
about 5 niches from the top. So my dad
started digging in the same hole and it
was like digging a new hole.
After they moved out of the house,
several people moved in and then out so
fast that the people who owned it
stopped trying to rent it. Years later
they sold it and now it is the haunted
library on 6th Street and as far as I
know, it is still haunted. All of the
things that happened at that house
really didn't bother my parents and they
just got used to it. We all did, because
these ghosts seemed to have followed
them every house we have lived in.
