Ghost Hands
My mom has told usseveral stories of "ghost" appearing to her and myaunts and uncles when they lived at home with my grandparents. Mymom grew up in the 40's and 50's. The home they lived in was anold house. My grandparents struggled to raise 8 kids with just mygrandfather working so the home they lived in was an old sort ofworn out home. The home was situated on top of a hill with a longstretch of stairs up to the front porch. The porch was the lengthof the house.
On one incident, my aunt had just returned from work and decidedto take a nap on the couch. As soon as she laid her head to rest,she felt something lay itself on top of her. She felt the weightand could not get it off. She struggled to get up, but the weightwas too heavy. She could not see anyone or thing but the pressurewas still there. She cried out to her mother. When my grandmotherentered the room, my aunt said it felt like this thing jumped offher.
Another incident, my mom and some of my aunts and uncles wereoutside late in the evening just hanging out. My mom glanced upto the house and saw someone walking back and forth on the porch.The only light was from the moonlight. At first they all thoughtit was my grandfather keeping an eye on them. My uncle thoughtmaybe my grandfather was getting ready to call them inside. Heasked him if they could stay out a little bit longer. When mygrandfather did not reply, my uncle got closer to the house andasked again. Again he did not answer. This time all of them weregoing up the stairs asking my grandfather if they could stay abit longer. This person would just walk back and forth his/herface concealed. As they got closer, they realized that thisperson's upper body was they only thing showing. At the same timemy grandfather was coming out of the house and saw this person.All of a sudden it disappeared.
Still another incident, my mother had just had supper with thefamily. She went over to a room next to the dining room. Thelights were out but there was enough light from the dining roomshe did not need to turn it on. She decided to go to this roomand just rest a bit. She suddenly felt someone grab her legs fromunder the couch. She looked down and saw "glowing"hands with very long finger nails. The hands kept sliding up anddown her legs. She said she was too scared to scream and couldnot move. When she finally snapped out of it, she let out a bigscream. My grandfather came rushing in and saw my mom trying toget up from the couch. She pointed to her legs and told her dadthat something was grabbing her. He could not see anything, buthe moved the couch over and saw nothing. As soon as he moved thecouch the thing released my mom.
My grandparents were devoted Christians and attempted to have thehouse blessed. But the sightings continued.
