I must be blind because I don't see anything in that picture?

Dark hooded figure and the railroad ties given him a grim reaper face

Id be more afraid of the alligator on the other wall.

Our current house is 113 years old, and we always joked about ghosts. One afternoon I was home alone folding laundry in the back guestroom. As clear as could be, what sounds like a few inches from my ear I hear a voice say "hello." I stopped what I was doing and stood super still. The acoustics in our house can be weird with the single pane windows and pass through/shotgun style… But I hadn't heard anything like that before.

A few weeks later, I'm working on my printer that hates me and I hear something say "what?" from what seems like a few inches away. Another time, I was setting up a trundle bed, and I heard "hmmm…"

At other times, I would hear footsteps which I attributed to our party wall neighbor being home… except most of the time I'd find out she was at her mountain house.

I went to scripture to convince myself that what I was experiencing wasn't real. Surely, since once you pass you can't return to earth, there are no such thing as ghosts? Unfortunately, what I did find was that there are spirits among us, just not the friendly ones of our friends and family who have passed… at least that's my interpretation of what I read.

I really hope that the voices and footsteps are just street noise bouncing around until it reaches my ear. Not going to lie, though, I've changed my opinion on the paranormal since living here. I am very glad we are moving.

4. Forgot this one. When we first brought puppies home my spouse went out of town on business. The dogs wouldn't stop staring down the front hallway and they kept growling. I noped out it of the living room and went to bed with them. Then they started doing the same thing at a section in the bedroom. I was scared shtless.
