Ghosts in Dallas
When I lived in Dallas Texas I was in a fabulous old apartment building that was built in the 1920’s. The apartment had lovely high ceilings, great old features, and it was in a really good location for bars and restaurants. I loved it and really enjoyed living there. After 3 years I decided to leave Dallas (for obvious reasons). About 6 months before I moved things started to drop off shelves onto the floor around 2-3am. It would freak me out, making me turn on the lights and look around. This happened so frequently I had to tell friends about it. They thought I was crazy.

The day came to leave. The furniture was removed and ready for shipment to the new address. All that was left were a few boxes stacked up in the middle of the lounge. I had to travel for the new job, so I left a key with a friend and was away for a week. I was to come back to take care of the extra boxes and turn keys over to management.

When I came back my downstairs neighbour (who I didn’t know very well) came knocking on my door asking about what was going on in my apartment. He told me it sounded like furniture moving and people walking around – which he heard about 3am for a few nights I was away. I asked my friend with the key if she was in the apartment at all, and she said no. I had the lock to the door changed a year ago and never gave a key to the apartment manager, so my friend had the only key.

ooooOOOOOooooo. Totally true. I think the previous occupant (deceased) didn’t want me to move.
