The Poltergeist in our home

The house in question was built in 1965 and we were the first family there but indeed, it was built over what had been a lake and there were underground springs and creeks all around us with moving water. I mention that as it is my understanding that this is commonly reported in many poltergeist cases. As for the history of the land? All I know is our neighborhood was once built on a cow pasture and there had been a family who owned our land known as the Davidson family. Behind our house was the woods where their old barn and a spring house was all that remained in the woods and was a place of play for the neighborhood kids. Who was on the land before the Davidson’s, I do not know.

When my husband and I first moved in my kids were like 5 and 1 years old. It was not long after moving in that I did have a few odd experiences like smelling perfume in the kitchen that was odd smelling that nobody wore – something very old fashioned about it. There were also feelings of having something rapidly coming up behind one and feeling not so much as evil but high weirdness of something very old and completely non-human. These feelings would come with a chill and the feeling of feeling one was being watched was a common experience.

Not far away behind our house was a graveyard but we dismissed the idea of ghosts as neither my husband or I thought the dead could haunt a location. We accepted the idea of evil spirits but not ghostly haunts so the experiences in the kitchen were kind of put aside.

Not much more happened for several years till my daughter and son grew up. Before the real explosion of poltergeist activity the woods behind our house and leading to the graveyard was a place my son and many of the kids enjoyed playing at. The woods was considered a bit mysterious though not huge, it had mysteries like a mound that looked like a grace and the old barn overgrown and the mysterious spring house which the kids pretended was a British Revolutionary War fort. Beyond the woods was the Westminister graveyard. The kids would go play there too. At the time, it was not seen odd as none of us thought in anyway that a graveyard could be a concern. It was curious that the thick creeks in the woods was known by the older kids as ‘haunted pools’ – why the name and when it came it about was unknown.  Rest of the story at https://www.myhauntedlifetoo.com/2020/04/20/the-poltergeist-in-our-home/
