The best place to start would have to be back in 2005 when I was 7 and I lived back on Hidden Lakes located in front of Ingles near Baton Elementary School. Everything started at that place. During the time that we was living there we had many strange occurrences and I know that sounds cliche but this isn’t like the average ghost story that you hear every now and again.

Our neighbors to the right of us lived in this beautiful log cabin but there was something off about the family itself. One night my dad went out on the back porch and he had heard what he described as the worst argument he had heard in his life. Through shut doors and closed windows, He could hear cussing and screaming with things being broken and torn. It was so bad he had to get Mom out there to listen with him so he knew he wasn’t dreaming the next day but he wasn’t even our worst neighbor. The neighbor on the left was the real problem. Our house when we first moved in wasn’t anything special. After a few years of living there we finally had enough money for an above ground pool and after we had gotten it installed we had notice something very strange about our neighbor. Every time someone came outside to swim our neighbor would go in his backyard as well. He would turn on his water hose and just hold it at a random part of his yard and while holding the hose he would blankly stare at us for however long we would go swimming. That isn’t even the worst part, The worst part was when it had snowed really bad that year and after it had stopped we went outside to see footprints leading from his house to our front door and

    According to police reports, at midnight a group of men heard shrieks coming from the historic mansion off Rosewood Way. While investigating the noise one the men who wouldn’t identify himself said, “As we tiptoed through the halls of the home I noticed a weird smell.

    Australia seems to be blessed for producing beautiful films about real life situations fraught with meaning and mystery. The movies “Puberty Blues” and “The Year my voice broke” are of no exception. The landscape seems so realistic on the screen, and the sense of Australia's isolation does as well. The subject matter and thematic thrust of Puberty Blues is the girls’ inceptive desperation to hook into the “in-crowd”, but with a strong feminist kick.…

    All the years I’ve lived on Elm Street I have never seen any sign of life in the house across the street, except a family that moved in and moved out only a few weeks later. It’s kind of mysterious actually, and I’ve always wanted to go up to it and walk in to explore. My parents have told me the things they have heard about the house, like there was an “old man whose wife passed away right there in the house, and her spirit still lurks”, maybe that’s why the families have never stayed for more than a month. Sometimes I’ve even caught myself staring at the house from my top window trying to spot things. I want to uncover the real truth about the house that I find myself overwhelmed.…
