There is a home right across 2nd street from Holy Name church that is haunted. It used to be a bridal and formal wear store in the late 90’s (1998) Becky Stone owned it. I used to live there upstairs. Currently it is supposed to be a second hand furniture store/good will type place, but they are hardly ever open.

Before all that though, it was a funeral home, and you can still smell the formaldehyde in the back stairs going from the downstairs kitchen (old embalming room) to the kitchen upstairs. It REEKS! But it hasn’t been a funeral home in YEARS. Also there is the ghost of a young black boy that haunts the back hall/doorway/bathroom. He will lock and unlock the back door, lights flicker, and you can be locked in the bathroom down there, and unable to get out.

When you walk into the front door, looking ahead to the stairs there is a doorway at the stair landing, and I have not met one person that doesn’t feel 110% compelled to RUN from that doorway as fast as they can. It’s a run for your life kinda feeling and even my Dad felt it when he visited me during the day time. Going upstairs are 3 bedrooms a bathroom LV and kitchen with enclosed stairs going down to the back part of the house. The first bedroom closest to 2nd st was haunted by a ghostly woman crawling across the floor. I was told that she died of a heart attack during the night and was crawling to help when she died in that room.

The middle bedroom has a huge dark grey/black figure that stays in it. Women felt no ill will from the entity, but most men feel anger and malice directed towards them. The 3rd bed room I had no encounters with, but the spirit there tormented my roommate. His clothes would be tossed around, CD’s upturned, his bd moved in the middle of the night without waking him, and he was always turned to face the windows.

The stereo would turn itself on and off, as well as the TV and computer. Also the CD player would play CD’s that were not even in the player. Eventually, the last person to live in the home was so shaken, he slept in his car outside rather than in the home.

I know all of this to be true, since I did live there during this time.
