Friendly Haunt
This house is haunted by an older, grizzly looking gentleman. However, the apparition is not a mean one; he protects residents of the house and even saved one woman from an abusive boyfriend. The man checks in on the bedrooms of the residents at night before returning to his own room — the back bathroom.
WTH??? He lives in a bathroom????

Aww…that’s sweet…

..But he lives in a bathroom? ô_ö

Regarding the bathroom…remember, indoor plumbing has not really been around all that long. My father, who is only 50 now, can remember families when he was growing up who had to use an outhouse and drew their water from outdoor hand pumps. The bathroom this spirit resides in was probably a bedroom, den, sitting room, etc., before the plumbing was installed.

in the house.
i really can’t belive he lives in a bathroom!
How stupider could he get …but lets keep that to ourself…shall we?
Comment by Alex .F | 01.14.2006 | 6:11 pm
I Wouldn’t mind checking this out or living here. Plus it would be great testing my guy friends out before dating them. And also it is possible that the poor guy died there in the bathroom; and he doesn’t want anybody else to use it.

You are an idiot. I’m Italian and I’m a girl. I bet I can kick your ***!
Comment by Trina | 03.14.2006 | 8:14 am
Why is everyone so preoccupied with the fact that he lives in the bathroom? Elvis died in the bathroom!Hey, if the king of rock and roll died there it must be okay. Besides is everyone totally looking past the fact that this place is called “house”? wow, these people must’ve been creative!I agree with Trina,”fake name” you are an idiot! you insult old dead guys and Italians and then don’t even have the guts to give your name. you are full of so much s**t!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by Audrey | 07.20.2006 | 10:48 am
My family used to own that house a while ago.I only have been there a couple of times because I live in Illinois, and do not really have time to leave. The only thing I experianced was one night i was watching over the house for the night i fell asleep in a chair with a couple of lights on, and the next mornig i woke up in bed all lights turned out and and my fam. did return until that afternoon.
Comment by Josh | 08.16.2006 | 11:10 am
Oh and Ashley, your “papa roberts” is watching. He’s always watching. And even if you dont expect it he is always there protecting you.
Comment by Josh | 08.16.2006 | 11:12 am

Comment by Kaitlyn | 09.19.2006 | 10:09 am
I live in the ALB. Where is this house???? All we ever hear about here is Seven Churches Road and Turner Hospital (which is now being rennovated by the way, so don’t even waste your time). I didn’t think anything exciting happened here. So yeah, I would realy appreciate it myself if someone could point me in the direction of Mr. Friendly ghost.
Oh, and to the paranormal researcher…go check out Seven Churches (Hardup Road). I’m so sick of hearing stories, but never finding anything but crack heads and dirty needles out there. I am curious to see what the real deal is. I would also care to know what else there is in south Georgia that you are planning on investigating. I’m very interested.

Comment by Amanda | 11.14.2006 | 1:01 pm
he sounded EXACTLY like a house i lived in 4 a few months..NO S***! it was an old lady that layed in the bathroom even when you didnt see her you felt cold in there and i had to keep asking her to leave so i can have a shower and the room would get warm again. i told her she can lie in my bed during the day cause it cant be comfotable and she did.there was also a dodgy electrician that we didnt trust and he went to the roof to do some work and he told us the ladder felt like it was lifted up and thown to the ground and we wernt there.he wasnt hurt but he got someone better in to do the job.
i wish i could say where these kind of places are but ive moved so much i dont even remember how many houses ive lived in than what address they were at..sorry
Comment by tracy lee | 12.19.2006 | 3:42 pm
and yes they both lived in the bathroom…big woop!
Comment by tracy lee | 12.19.2006 | 3:44 pm
If I lived there I would never take a shower again. Creepy. The ghost sounds friendly and all but really. Who wants a poltergeist peeping tom?
Comment by ofeelya hignney | 12.22.2006 | 9:16 pm
But yeah he does seem like a sweety.

Comment by jasmine | 01.13.2007 | 6:09 pm
Yah I soo know what they are saying. My boyfriend and I were about to break up but we were havin a last vacation. And ok When I went to dinner he was acting like a jerk so I hung out with a guy who I saw that night and he came to me and punched my on my face. So when he came up to hit me again he tripped and fell on his face. And when he was done, a cold breeze came upon my face. But on the bright side the new guy who I met well lets just say that I stayed with him in his room and we had sex! Ooohyahh!!!
Comment by joanna | 01.18.2007 | 1:05 am
OOOOKKKKKKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY! We didn’t need to know that
Comment by Shareka | 02.15.2007 | 11:33 am
I have heard about this case…I am really excited to hear more testimony about this place. I for one would love to check it out/it sounds pretty intersting. Not often do you find cases of friendly hauntings…most of the ones I hear about, the people are afraid to live there.
Comment by chris marshall | 02.15.2007 | 12:34 pm
Where is this house in Albany? I have not heard of this one before . . .
Comment by Peach | 02.20.2007 | 9:04 pm
What a kick *** ghost! I always am hearing about ghosts that don’t do anything but walk around or are poltergeists but this ghost has helped people, this is probably the only haunted place I would visit because all the others are freaky.
Comment by Henry | 02.22.2007 | 8:12 pm
Does anyone know where this place is? I would like directions or what the name of the hotel is.
Comment by Henry | 02.22.2007 | 8:16 pm
Who in their right mind would live in a…bathroom?
Comment by Sunny | 03.26.2007 | 12:37 pm

Comment by Michael | 04.3.2007 | 10:07 am
Hey where is this house in Albany? I lived there until I was 23 and lived in a house that was haunted but by an older woman. Her name was Bertha and she use to do all sorts of things to us when I lived there. She would turn the bathroom water on in the middle of the night, make chairs move around and open doors. Just all sorts of stuff. Never hurt us.
But I’m just wondering where this one you are talking about is? Ours was on the North side of Albany toward Leesburg.
Comment by Trish | 06.29.2007 | 8:48 pm
I bet the House was remodeled at some point. I also bet the back bathroom was the former master bedroom.
Comment by skitty102 | 07.8.2007 | 8:02 pm
Sooooo he’s a nice guy..but he lives in a bathroom? Sounds like a pervert but they thats my opinion.
Comment by melissa | 07.13.2007 | 2:24 pm

Comment by mickie | 09.1.2007 | 5:07 am
like what sarah said. plumbing wasnt around back in the day. and this ghost does not know it is a bathroom cause he probably died before it was a bathroom.. but that is so cool.. i wish i had him here with me tonight.
Comment by megan a | 09.25.2007 | 10:04 pm
I want to go see!! I guess since no one has said where it is yet, that info probably won’t be revealed!
Comment by Marleen | 10.22.2007 | 11:19 pm
Well I think this dude is pretty nice and I would feel very, very safe in that house and so what if he stay in the bathroom, he is still a caring person.

Comment by Educated Atlantan | 10.29.2007 | 10:37 am
When I was 5 or 6, we lived in a two story house on Clifton Road in Atlanta. The upstairs remained vacant and I would play up there. One day while playing alone up there, two figures came out of the fireplace and tried to grab me, telling me to come inside with them. I ran and got away. Needless to say, I never, ever, forgot and never went up there again. I grew up to become a police officer in that city. One day, I shared the story with the inhabitants. It wasn’t a good idea!
Comment by Dave | 10.29.2007 | 1:27 pm
This house sounds very interesting. I live near historic Marietta,Georgia and the Kennesaw National Battlefield. I was wondering if any of you paranormal investigators have been there? Have you uncovered any paranormal activity there? There also is a huge cemetary for the civil war dead there as well. Next to it, a large cemetary. It covers several acres. A local t.v. station did a story on paranormal of this cemetary not long ago. If you haven’t, have you thought of going there?

I live about five miles out of Albany and would like to know where this house is. so someone please tell me where it is.
Comment by Michelle | 12.22.2007 | 9:02 pm
I posted this story originally. I believe that the ghost was actually that of my grandfather. I am the one who was protected from a boyfriend. Also, he didn’t live in the bathroom (my post was reworded). What I stated was that sometimes when everyone was in the living room you could hear him walk down the hall and close the door to the back bathroom.
Also, no, I will not be revealing this location other than the fact that it is in east Albany and not up by Leesburg. Closer to Sylvester than Leesburg. This is a private residence, not a hotel. My family no longer owns this house so I do not know if the people who live there would appreciate random people knocking on their door asking about the ghost.
Comment by Polly | 01.2.2008 | 12:31 am
We live in Albany Georgia, and I have never heard of that Friendly Ghost, but I sure would like to know where the house is. We did however live in a house over on first Avenue that I swear is haunted. We lived there for several months and the kids and I finally moved out. My husband stayed there until the lease was up and he did not feel the feelings I and the children felt. It was sort of a feeling like you were being watched from behind. One night, my daughter got up in the middle of the night and thought my husband was in the kitchen and so she said “Daddy is that you?” and it went poof, vanished. My son, who was two at the time kept crying and saying “the man, the man!” and would not want to sleep in his room which used to be a porch.
My son says, “I don’t remember living there because I was so little, but I believe my mother’s stories. I do wonder if I might be a medium of sorts though, because If I did not feel the man there, then why would I not sleep in my room and why was I crying and saying “the man”?”

Comment by Bree | 03.7.2008 | 11:09 pm
why does everyone make a fuss about the bathroom fact.. just read what Sarah wrote all in the beggining about indoor plumbing. and those who “wanna see if he’s gonna gimme a blanket or whatsoever”. Don’t you think he needs some RIP ?? leave him alone fer cryin’ out loud
Comment by michel de Fr | 03.23.2008 | 11:51 am
I love hearing about ghost stories. Whenever I hear one though, it’s always about a scary one. I like this one. I wish I had a ghost like that so when my sisters are mean he would punch ‘em, kick ‘em, & stick ‘em in the eyes!(Little Man)
Comment by Tiffany | 03.24.2008 | 5:29 pm

Comment by Tiffany | 03.24.2008 | 5:29 pm
Now would be a good time for the ghost to come. My sister is being mean.
Comment by Tiffany | 03.24.2008 | 5:32 pm
Whoa. Some friendly paranormal activity going on. That’s something. From all the cases I’ve read, this one was one of my interest. A friendly ghost roaming on about in his own space. Maybe the house was rebuilt and the bathroom was the spot where he probably spent his time in. : )
Also to the family who claims the ghost to be their grandfather. Since you are not living there any longer, it would be better for you all to become friends with the new owners, and visit the house from time to time. The spirit could grow alone and could become agressive. Consider in visiting the place. Even if it’s one time a month or year because maybe the only thing the ghost looked up to was his family~!
: )
Please consider my thought. I’m sure he will be very happy~! : D
