The first time I walked in here, I felt a presence in the guest house and definitely something in the playhouse. Doesn't surprise me that you see orbs. Doesn't surprise me that maybe you see something pass by the window when you're outside. Are you uncomfortable when you stay here? I'm very comfortable when I stay here. It feels very familiar, but there are sounds that wake me up, which is kind of unusual. Did you ever feel a little boy's presence? That's what I felt, looking out the window when I was sitting outside, and I felt something go by the window inside the house. You did? It felt like a little boy. Oh, wow. Okay.
I mean, I'm going to tell you the story. I haven't told you that story, but there is a little boy here. He's been here for a long time. He keeps asking my guests for help. He wakes them up in the middle of the night, and when they open their eyes, they see this little boy, dressed like it's the 1930s, and he just stands there, kind of ghostly. Like, you could see through him. And he's saying, “Help me, help me.” It's the same words to everybody who's been here and said they saw him, without them knowing the story. Right, and they tell me the same story. I saw what I thought was a little boy in a blue suit, a blue jacket, blue pants, go by the window. Outside or inside? When I was outside. Inside the house, in that room I told you about, where the bed is up above. Yeah, that room feels very active to me. Yeah, that's where they see him. The noises sound like they're right on that door into the guest room. That's what wakes me up, that area.
Last night I got woken up. The orbs were in my office. And, you know, my kids, all of my kids… My son slept with me till he was 11 years old. He would not sleep in that back bedroom. He felt the presence there. He was scared to sleep in that room. And the lights would go on and off, and the TV would go on and off. We made a joke about it over the years and said, “Oh, that's just the friendly ghost.” It was like a little boy playing. You know, you can feel that the place has such history, that something was here before you. I feel that little boy is buried on this property somewhere.
What year was the house built? It was built in 1948, and I bought it in 1983. And when I moved in, I started remodeling, and the first room I started to remodel was where you're staying, in that bathroom. They had a mirror pasted on the wall, and I pulled it off. It came off in one piece, and behind it was a newspaper article that was cut out. You couldn't tell the date or anything. It was just the article, and it was about a little boy who had been murdered. I kind of went back to see who owned the house years before, but that was always like a guest house, so there were other people there too. It wasn't just the owner, so it was really hard to pin it down.
How old was the boy? Probably like six or seven. I was gonna say somewhere five, six. Wow. Do you still have the article? No. I wish I did. I wish I did. I'll bet you we can find that information. Well, if I could find that information, I could find out who the little boy was and how he got murdered. I'll do what I can. I'm a research specialist. Let me see what I can find. Okay.
