This phenomenon takes place in Oklahoma, where ghost
stories abound. I have lived in several states, and nowhere have
I heard as many ghost stories as when I lived in Oklahoma. I
will say that the culture is rich with folklore and I loved living
there! The people know how to live and enjoy life. My story begins with my sister and her family moving to Northeastern Oklahoma, and us visiting her there for the Christmas of 1967, just prior to us moving there in the spring. She rented a two-story house with plenty of room for her six children. One had to climb some steps to the front door, enter into a foyer, then climb stairs to the second floor where they lived. The landlady lived on the bottom floor. The house was fairly large,with four bedrooms on top. One cold winter night as we sat at the kitchen table playing forty-two, ( a game played with dominoes) I was about to make my bid when I heard footsteps coming up the inside stairs and stopping at my sister's door. "You have company," I announced, as if everyone hadn't heard the steps. "Why don't you go open the door and let them in," my sister asked. "This is your house, you let them in," I replied. "No, go ahead, it's ok." She continued, so I got up and opened the door. No one was there! "This happens every night at 10 PM." My sister explained. I have never forgot that strange unexplained mystery. This is a true experience. Calypso |
