I have lived with ghosts most of my life.

I was raised in a home in Pasadena, Texas, that was haunted. My mother and father were the first to own the home. My grandmother lived with us, and I had two older brothers.

When I was very young I remember “seeing” people that would appear to float accross the room, and one that always appeared as a dark figure. I wasn’t really afraid of them until I got older.

When I would tell my Mother or Grandmother about them they would tell me to just ignore them, that they could not hurt me. However I was never told they did not exist or were not real.

As a teenager, I began to have contact with them.

The dark one I called “Spook,” simply because he would wake my Mother every night. She would scream out and tell it to stop “spooking” her.

There were two that lingered that I feel were possibly relatives that had passed when I was very young. One I believed to be my “Grandma Ella”. She was my father’s mother, who died when I was six.

The other I felt was my “Aunt Billie”. They would always seem to be around when I was sad or scared.

They did not like me playing the radio, and would change the stations or cause static often. My Grandmother who lived with me used to comment that I should read or go outside, instead of arguing with them about the radio!

I now live in an apartment in Georgetown, Texas that is haunted.

When I first moved in, I noticed that my house always seemed to be warm…too warm. So, I had them replace the a/c unit.

That did not help. Every night I would wake to find my thermostat set to 80 degrees.

I would also leave my bathroom door open, and would notice that the door would be shut, sometimes after running into it, expecting it to be open!

I have had friends over and they would say that they felt as if they could not think clearly here.

After a couple of months, I was standing out on my porch and a man walked by. He laughingly asked me if I had seen any ghosts yet.

That was it.

I went to my apartment’s office and inquired as to my apartment being reported to have ghost activity.

The answer was Yes! It was confirmed and the names of the ghosts are Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds. They were an old couple who loved their stay in my apartment, so much that they decided to continue residence even after death.

We have an understanding and now they don’t mess with my a/c…unless I put it below 70.

The bathroom door still seems to remain an issue however!
