Jeremy Snow stands in front of his dressed-up Halloween home - which he believes is actually haunted. The house is known to send a shiver down a guest’s spine upon entry. - ContributedOnce all the kids had wrapped up their “trick or treat” Halloween fun, Jeremy Snow and a friend were putting away the leftover candy and heading inside an empty, old townhouse under renovations when something stopped them dead in their tracks.It appeared a figure was looking out, watching, says Snow.
"Then, during the day, when I was updating a bedroom, the closet door slowly creaked wide open, yet there were no drafts."“I began to hear whispering at night. So, I went to look around, and that’s when I noticed a tall, blackish figure muttering something in the corner near the main bedroom.” "I was shocked. There’s no access to the basement from outside, no windows, no indication that this existed."
Whoever — or whatever — was in the home must not have liked the changes Snow was making until he began fixing the basement. Then, the paranormal experiences from windows slamming open, a flurry of figures that included the man and a woman in a white dress, a black figure of a cat, and the whispering, stomping, died down.Snow believes that whoever was in the home must have realized that he did not mean any harm with the renovation work.

“We laughed because we assumed it was some odd fluke, but it kept happening," Servos said."It wasn’t something that could be done by accident, as you had to push these big buttons to switch between record and radio.”“They were terrified of the house and called in a local medium, Alan Hatfield. He said, ‘There was a ghost of a man who sat on the main stairs and opened doors, many cats, and a ghost of a little girl.
