Missing Twins
I've never been oneto have a "real" encounter of an unexplainable event,except for maybe a little ESP, and dreams telling me what thefuture holds (Which happened only twice, once warning me about afire, and the death of someone close to me...needless to say, myneighbor's house caught on fire after the dream, and mygrandmother passed away.) But this story has to do with a friendof mine, twin babies, and a ghost.
Nearly a year ago, a friend of mine, Julie, went to visit heraunt and uncle for a month or so while her parents fought out amessy divorce. Her relative's house was an older farm house whichhad survived at least a hundred years. While visiting, her auntand uncle decide to go out, and invited Julie along. Having had along tiring day, Julie declined and offered to watch the twins.Her aunt an uncle agreed, happy to be going out alone.
Julie had a great few hours with the twins, who where nice quietbabies (So she says:) As it grew later, she placed the childrenin their crib and tucked them in for the night placing a smallteddy bear in the crib with them. She headed down the steps intothe kitchen to clean up after dinner and bake some cookies. Asshe waited for the cookies to be done, she sat at the table anddeiced to read a book. A few minuets later, she heard the kitchendoor, which lead to the back yard open. Looking up from the book,she expected it to be her aunt and uncle. no one was there, sofiguring it was the wind, she got up and shut it. Nearly tenminuets later, the same thing happened, though this time shelatched the door.
It was around this time that she had a strange, feeling.... Shethought she heard some strange noises from upstairs...The babyintercom she had with her ringed out the sound of the baby crying...Thanit suddenly stopped. She swore she heard footsteps as well, and afar away voice talking to the kids. Thinking at once about thebabies and their safety she went to go check on them....When sheentered the room, she heard nothing at all which scared her themost. She looked into the children's crib, and both babies weregone. Neither or them could walk yet, being only six months old.Being only 16 at the time, she had no idea what to do and was ina panic. She ran as fast as she could over to one of theneighbor's houses, and from the called the police. before thepolice came, her neighbor walked over to the house with her.Together they went into the babies room, and both children wherethere. Terrified, she scooped up both babies and stood outsideand waited for the police and her aunt and uncle (which she alsocalled) While waiting outside, she saw one of the kid's toys....Itwas exactly like the teddy bear she had placed in their crib. Sheasked one of the neighbors to go inside with her, and as shethought, the bear was no longer in the crib either. To be on thesafe side, once her aunt and uncle had come back, she asked ifthe kids had two bears, they said no. They also confessed abouthearing soothe gentle voices talking to their kids on the babyintercom from time to time.
