My story starts when i got my divorce and moved into the 100 plus year old house thats a mile down the road from where i live..i im a cowboy and christian and i did not believe in ghosts and i read my bible twice a day..so when i moved in i had a new adventure every day..late evenings i would see a man standing at the top of the stair case starring at me so i would just starr back and then leave..i would hear him walking down the stairs and i could hear his boots..by the way his steps sounds he was a big man..i said oh well he is a cowboy like me no big deal..so i met the mrs right and got remarried and things started slowing down..but we both would see the man on top the stair case and we named him nick..later on we decided to have a baby and we had a cold winter and alot of snow ..the old house get super cold so we decided to sleep down stairs in front of the fireplace..i woke up at 3:15am really cold so i went to put another log on the fire and i looked up at the doorway and there was a man standing there starring at me a solid black shadow with a black hat so i starred right back..no big deal then he left..no i was not asleep i was wide awake and cold..i dont know if he is the same one on top of the stair case or not..i just figured he was a cowboy or confedrate soldier the cemetery is half a mile down the road..then i started looking on the internet and i see he is everywhere..but while my wife was pregnant we would see shadows in our bedroom and they watched over my wife..one stayed by her side as she was sleeping..after the baby was born we only see the man upstairs and now our little boy is 2..and he hides at the bottom of the stair case plays hide in seek with the man at the top of the stair case ..he has even said hello to our little boy..whats interesting is i have a trucking company and i will say guys we are leaveing watch the house please.. see ya tom night and sure enough when we get back and step in the door and walk by the stairs we will see him standing at the top watching to see if its us or not.. a few months ago i was upstairs in my son room and i was praying over him and the room is dark and i turned around and there was a super dark solid black shadow standing behind me..he or it stood back about 3 ft from me being respectful while i was praying..the shadow was not me..a week ago my wife was down stairs getting undressed to take a shower and she felt someone watching her and she looked up and the man up stairs was watching her ..she said i see you watching me !! then he left !! now here is another one for you the man that built this house also built a barn behind the house and i heard that the man caught his hired hand messing around with his daughter and the hand was a mexican..back then you did not mix ..so he hung him in the barn..i did not believe it until a friend and i found the trap door in the loft …so i had a ghost hunter come out and he messed the focus up on the camera and all the audio got was grawling..the ghost hunter told me to stay away from the barn..im a cowboy im not afraid so i just walked in there and told him who i was and that i was not kin to the man that hung him and that he was buried in the cemetery down the road in 1963..it has been so much more peaceful since i told him who i was ..but still everyone advoids the barn but my wife and me !! so later on a friend and i took our phones with us up in the loft and turned the video on and his blackberry caught a solid black shadow standing above us..it was a man and i guess it was the man that got hung..the crazy thing is my friend text the video to me and his blackberry screwed up right after that ..well i sent the video to all my friends and the phones automatically deleted the video or somehow the video got lost on their phones..as far as my phone i had sent it to my email but that did not save my phone..i for some reason had a horse get loose and when i went to catch the horse my phone disapeared somehow out of my phone holder..to this day i stil have not found the phone and it has been at least two years..but i still have the video in my email..so i went back one day and i had my new phone in my hand on video and i demanded him to do something !! show me you exist and the screen on my phone turned green ! but he did not mess it up ! it s crazy all i read and hear is that the hat man and other black shadows are evil but mine arent ..they actually watch over this place and watch over my family ..i know this all sounds crazy but it is true ..we also have ghost children and two men outside that we hear talking and someone in the kitchen..the best one is a lady that we have and she watches over my family as well..i have smelled her perfume and it smells great ! my wife saw her one night not to long after our son was born he was crying and my wife looked up and there she was a blonde with her hair in a bun in a light blue dress with a white apron …maybe because we live so close to the cemetery ? im fine with them..we have prayed though out the house over and over and their still here ..any ideas ?
