Okay - here's the low-down.
There don't seem to be any cold spots or strange noises, BUT.....
They SEE this guy! Most often he's with a dog. My sister says he wears a hat, and the dog looks like a Shepard-type dog. I asked if she could see his face and she says no -- he's sort of a silhouette.
This is what's happened: During the month they were working on the house and not living there yet - cleaning the place, clearing brush, etc. - there were 2 different instances when my sister was in the kitchen and she felt a hand grab her butt!! Her husband was NOT behind her. LOL One time he was in front of her, a few feet away, and the other time he was in another part of the house. She was startled obviously, and turned and saw no one.
Once they were moved in, she saw the guy more than once, walking by. One night at dinner she told her husband, "Ya know, there's a guy living here." WELL, her husband nearly spit his food across table! Apparently HE had seen him too but didn't say anything 'cause he didn't know if my sister would freak or get nervous, or what. He said he had seen the man walking past in the hallway outside the kitchen, heading for this back room where they've got some stuff stored. They most often see him in that hallway, or the kitchen -- the back area of the house. My sister also saw him out in the backyard through her kitchen window. He was by himself - the dog wasn't with him.
She just shrugs it off - it doesn't bother her. He doesn't cause any sort of "trouble" and seems harmless enough. She is under the impression that he's happy they're living there.
A couple of weeks ago, her husband had a couple of friends/co-workers over and it was late - around 3 am. Her husband and one of the friends had crashed for the night, and she and the other friend were sitting in the kitchen talking. She started hearing music coming from the dining room - said it sounded like a radio playing. There is NO source of music or a TV anywhere nearby. She asked the guy if he heard the music and he said yes. She got up to investigate and it was coming from a corner of the room where there's a floor lamp and some plants on a small table and shelves - that's it. As she moved closer, the music got louder. Their friend was freaking out. LOL She said it must be the ghost and told him about it. He went nuts! Couldn't believe it. He was gonna be sleeping in that back room and was all nervous and took a knife with him to bed. LOL My sister kept saying, "Don't take that to bed - you'll cut yourself!! Nothing's going to happen." Well, he would have none of it, and went to bed with the blanket wrapped around his head, clutching the knife. ROFL
Apparently the house has been vacant for the last few years. Before that, some historical society was using it, and before THAT, two elderly women lived there. Beyond that, my sister doesn't know anything. (The house and property are owned by the State - her husband works for the parks department and they have the house for as long as he works for them - or until he dies - whichever comes first). ANYWAY, a couple of houses up the road toward the Battlegrounds there is another house that has some "ghostly" stuff going on too.
As far as pictures, my sister doesn't have a camera at the moment but is planning on buying a digital one in the next couple of weeks. When I was over there the other night, I took my new camera to try it out, take pictures of the Christmas lights, etc. (This thing is sooo complicated -- all the possible settings -- I'm so confused)
I took a bunch of pictures and put them on a website for her. Haven't had the chance to study them for any sort of ghostly apparitions as of yet. LOL
