 My Ghost Story
I've lived in a couple homes with ghosts. The first place was an apartment I was living in. This was a two story apartment. After I went to sleep at night, this ghost would turn lights on downstairs. He/She also would make coffee for me. I would wake up with the alarm and smell coffee brewing. I was scared, but I would go downstairs and my coffee was still dripping so I didn't forget and leave a pot of coffee on the burner, etc. My coffee maker did not have a timer feature. I would checked all my locks on the doors, etc. Of course, the doors and windows were locked.
Once, I was still awake when the ghost turned my lamp on downstairs. My bird started talking to this identity. My cat ran into my bedroom and started freaking out. I could hear the ghost walking around downstairs. I called the police and they sent several cars over. They kept me on the phone until the police had checked outside for opened doors or windows. When the operator told me to let them in, they checked all the closets etc in my apartment. They found no one. The officer saw I had a cat and told me that is what I heard walking around in my apartment. I tried to explain the cat was in my room, and my bird was actually talking to some one. Of course, they think I'm nuts at this point. I told them I actually saw the light come on and my bird nor my cat could turn the lamp on.
I never knew why this ghost was with me. She/He was totally harmless, and actually, after a while I enjoyed having coffee ready. I have to admit the first couple times I threw the coffee out. I learned to trust this ghost, and I did drink the coffee. The ghost could make a good cup of coffee. I had one friend I trusted enough to share this story. Other than that, I've never told anyone else about this experience.
