Haunted Clock
This, btw, is atrue story; it happened to me and some family and friends... Readon!
In 1981 or 82 (I cannot remember the exact year) my grandmotherdied. She and my grandfather had lived in a townhouse in Chicagoprevious to this. We then brought my paralayzed grandfather downto San Antonio to live with us. We purchased the house behind usand fixed it up so that my grandfather would have a house of hisown while making it easily accesible to us so we could take careof him. A couple months before his death in 1983, we moved mygrandfather into our house, because it was getting too hard toprovide him with the necessary care unless one of us was with himalmost 24 hours a day. We rented his house out to some friends ofthe family. While Grandpa was alive, they claimed to hear his catmeowing in his old room, even though we had moved the cat intoour house with him. Later, after my grandfather had died, everyonce in a while you could hear footsteps in that room and also upand down the hallway of the house. It was really freaky.
Another thing that happened had to do with a clock. When we movedmy grandfather to San Antonio, we brought a lot of his furnitureand things with him. We put most of this in his house, includinga table clock from the late1800's/early 1900's. This clockusually sat on a coffee table in the living room of his house.When we moved my grandfather to our house, we left the furniturethere for the family we rented the house to. The clock stayedalso. The clock had never run correctly, so we never wound it up,we always left it off. After we had Grandpa moved out, in theother house every once in a while you could hear the clockchiming. BUT WE NEVER TURNED IT ON. This happened more often oncemy grandfather died, but the clock was heard most often in hisold room in the other house. Thankfully, my house does not seemto be haunted, and finally, 11 years after his death, things arequiet in the other house too.
