holy **** that most have been scary omg i would have been freaked out well even though it seems like a nice old lady and boy o boy if i was that kid i would want some cookies with that milk

Whoa! I didn’t know this story was known nationwide! I am the boy who had the experience with the lady from the twenties! Yes, I have severe claustorphobia, and love chocolate milk. I do not remember the old lady, for I am no longer a child, but I do remember my mother’s reaction to the story. Geez. . .I told only one other person about this experience (my next door neighbor at the time), and it’s all over the Internet! That just goes to show how powerful the media is today.

That was creepy, but i would’ve liked to be that lil boy for the milk and cookies.

ok first of all they aint ghost all there is is jesus christ and the only thing there is is demons so think about it after this life you either go to heavin or hell you dont stay here but there is demons from the pits of hell dont be foolish and allways remember jesus is all you need!

You guys are crazy. By the way, I like milk. Anywho, I have done scarier, like stood with my brother in front of our mirror while he says Demon and I say Bloody mary 3 times.

I think it was nice of the old lady to give him cookies , but if I were that boy , I would of been really , really , really , really , really scared . Also , because I would not know where my mom was . And there was a freakish old lady feeding me . You never know what she/he is feeding you.

OK………….so where exactally is the house???

This is a great web-site and the stories are interesting too. Ghost are exciting and mysterious.
Everyone should believe in ghost because they are all around us everyday. And if I would of been that
little boy I would of thanked the old lady and gave her a hug. Also, why do some of you ask for the address to this house? If you were reading everything you would of known that the house isn’t there anymore.

This house was surrounded by thick tall hedges, creating a mysterious atmosphere. There have been stories surrounding the house since the early 50’s. Now it has been replace by The United States Post Office. It faced Main Street and the back was on Union Street.

I have lived in Salem for 18 years and I have met the owners of the house. They do not like to talk about the old lady, and they will not let anyone come in to search for her. She has been a protective spirit for their children, acting almost like a nanny. She appears in some of their family pictures – always near the kids – she looks like a ball of light. They don’t want to upset her by having people all over the house trying to see if they “feel” her. I don’t blame them, she has been good to them so they are just returning the favor.

wow, if i was the kid, i probably would have asked how the heck the lady got in my house!lol

Wow this story was not that scary until I started reading the comments about other storie. If I were the boy I would be ver y scared and I would not eat from the woman. She might be nice but i wouldn’t have known her that well to eat from her. I think it was vey smart for the family not to have any1 in the house because they didn’t want to upset the ghost because she has been so nice. But if the ghost was mean I would sertinly want some1 to get the ghost out of my house or I would really move away from it.Expecially if I had kids. But I am way to young I am only a child.

whoa that is kool some old lady ghost being nice i would be a little scared if i could see right thru her but watever

You all need to remember that children are more apt to seeing spirits and ghosts because their imaginations are so active that they don’t scare as easily as grown-ups. When I had my oldest daughter, I still lived at home and we lived in an old Civil War house that was haunted. My three year old would stand in the middle of the living room and talk to someone that wasn’t even there and I could tell that whatever she was talking to was taller than her and tell them that ‘mommy was going to be very mad because she’s not supossed to talk to strangers’ and then she would tell them ‘bye’ and walk away. If I hadn’t seen the ghost with my own eyes and heard another one, I would have thought my daughter was insane.

When I would ask her about it she would just say that the woman wanted to play and that she was really pretty.

So Scary!

little kids lie

I will check out main street sometime. I live in Roanoke it is only a 15 min. drive to main street.

Im 25 yrs old I bought a house in 03′ I was so happy that I went to speak with the previous owner before she moved.And I aked her things about the house she told me the story on why she was moving:Her Husband and her built the house(First Owners)and they were going to sell so they could move to Canada where they had a cabin they were going to retier.Well he had a heart attack and dyed on the way to the hospital.He never said goodbye.(Here she is telling me the story ans almost in tears) she said he was a nice guy and ahandyman. My house has wood allover like a cabin He made all the edges and cabinets whith his hands.Well the house wows everybody when they come in its cosy and wellcoming.N-E-Ways. We started to do some remodoling in the kitchen and thats when things started to happen.First My husband and I where about to go to sleep I heard a lady crying and I thought it was my neighbor(long stroy)well I like ghost storys but my hair stud up and I thought my husband was asleep He told me to take a look at this point we could hear it in our hallway.well as I stood up to check it stoped.The other thing was my mother in law was her from PuertoRico she was in the first room aseelp.Everybody was asleep and the I heard a slam on the kitchen window I thought someone was breaking in and My husband got his gun.As I was getting up to check on the kids a cup fell right in the middle of the Kitchen floor and shattered.Like it was thrown with force.And I told my husband someone is in the house.when we both went to check I called out to see if it was one of the kids and they were all asleep.and my mother in law as snoring well we saw the glass allover and we check all the door and windows.And nothing.Also the lights sometime flicker,
Two days ago we where getting ready for bed well I was already in bed and my husband was in the restroom he came out and as he was about to lay in bed the fouset truned on by itself I told him it was Mr Day (that was the mans name) I told he was telling him to wash his hands.we joke around but it kinda scary. Id like to know what u guys think and what can I do?

Cool story, I should check out Main St. sometime, I live like really close. I believe my house is haunted too. There was an old keyboard up in the attic when we moved in and whenever there’s only 1 or 2 people in the house you can take the keyboard downstairs and turn it on and after a few minutes the keys will start pressing down by themselves, creeps me the hell out…. Lol nice story though.
