Belton, Texas Ghost Tales

  

When my siblings and I were little, we used to live at our Grandparents house with our mother.. Now, I'm not exactly how old the house was, but to me, it seemed pretty old. Anyhow, from what I remember as a child, the house was pretty active in ghostly activity. For instance, my Grandfather used to have an old bus that he and his mariachi band would travel in. Well on one windless night, he, and my older brother and cousin went out to the shed behind the house to go get something, when they kept hearing this squeaking noise. They couldn't figure out what it was for the life of them, so they did their best to ignore it. Well, when they finally turned to go back to the house, they discovered that it was the windshield wipers going off on the bus, with no one in it.... On another occasion, I had stayed home from school one day because I wasn't feeling too well. Later on in the day, I got to feeling better, so I decided to clean my room. Well, I had found some old crutches in the back of my closet, and I leaned them up against the wall so that I could put a bag of blankets back there. And when I lifted up the bag over my head to throw it in the back of my closet, I saw something out of the corner of my eye and I froze, standing there with that bag over my head. When I looked to see what it was, it turned out to be a small boy of maybe 1 or 2 years old. He had on overalls and blond curly hair, with the brightest blue eyes you would ever see. And he was looking at the crutches I had propped up against the wall. At first, I didn't think anything of him being there. At the time, my Grandma used to babysit a lot, so I thought he was just another one of the kids she was watching. Anyhow, His curiosity over the crutches got the better of him, and he reached out his cherubic fingers to touch them, and when he touched them, they fell.. And when they fell, he disappeared. Needless to say, I dropped that bag of blankets, and hauled tail to the safety of the living room where my Grand ma was. When I explained to her what I saw, she just shrugged and said it would be ok..

When I was little, I used to have this problem where I would wake for no reason in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. On one such night, I lay there in bed, trying to fall back asleep, when I heard this loud banging on the bathroom door( it was right next to the room I shared with my two sisters. ) It scared me so bad, and I layer there petrified. Eventually, I fell back asleep, and when I woke the next morning, I found out that no one else had heard the noise...

A few years later, I had invited a friend of mine over to see my new outfits for the upcoming school year. I had them hanging in my closet, and told her to go look at them while I went to go do something or another. Well, a few years after that, she told me that when she had looked in my closet to check out my new clothes, she had seen two red glowing eyes staring back at her in a hateful and demonic way.

The hallway was also something to be feared. I can't speak for my other siblings, but I was terrified of it. It just seemed to me that someone was watching.. Glaring... Waiting. I would dart from my room to my Mom's room. Or from her room the the living room. And I was still scared of that hallway up until the house was remodeled a few years ago.

Speaking of which, my little brother told me, that when he and my Grandfather were tearing down some of the walls in the back room, they found a letter tacked up between the walls. I can't remember what he said was in it, but I just thought it was kind of odd for a letter to be placed in such a bizarre location.... . - Ghost picture submitted by Susie M

An old friend of mine told me a story about this time her and another friend had gone out driving after midnight. Now, they had heard of this story where a Witch was supposed to haunt an area that was presently occupied by a baseball field, or something.

Well they went out that night to go see if the rumors were true or not.

She said that when they got there, at first they saw nothing. But sure enough, a couple minutes later, a thick fog rolled in, and they saw a black figure in the distance.

She said that it was slowly moving across the field, parallel to where they had parked. But then, all of the sudden, the figure seemed to notice them, and became enraged with their presence.

It came rushing towards them, and as it got closer, my friend noticed that it seemed to have great, big, feathery wings.

As they, sat there, frozen with fear in the car, the thing flew right over them. It was so close, she swore up and down she heard it's wing's flapping!

They looked for it to come back, but it never
 
    did.

Now, I'm not sure the authenticity of this story, but she isn't known to be a liar..

My daughter and son in law just moved into a new place.  The house is not new and from her description was probably built in the 1940's or early 1950's.  She tells
  me the lighting in the den keeps turning on by itself.  Last night my grandson was asleep in his room when he was awaken to the TV turning itself on, and he went yelling for mom and dad.  At the same time, my granddaughter who is visiting for spring break, woke from the sofa stating she felt cold and the TV turned off and then on again.  My daughter is suspecting a visitor from the other side, and is planning to research the property, but ever since my grandson was able to speak, he has told her of people coming in his room at night and seeing his grandpa (who passed away in 2004), he does have the sense.
