Crying Baby?
This is a story that has been handed down from generation
to generation. I can not say for sure that it is true but, judging from our
family history, it's just one more vegetable in our pot of soup.
The story goes as follows...
A newlywed couple had just recently purchased an old farm
house in the rural area along the old river road that runs along side the
Mississippi River in Louisiana.
The houses were far and few between. Your nearest neighbor was not what you
would call within walking distance.
Since they were a newly married couple and new to the area
they naturally knew no one.
Exicited as they were to begin thier new life together, neither
one one had questioned the great deal that they had recieved on the house
they had bought.
The only thing on thier mind was thier future together and how happy they
were.
The first night in thier home should have been one filled with passionate
love, but that was not to be the case.Early after the couple had retired
for the evening, thier lovemaking was interrupted by the sound of a baby
crying. Since neither of them knew anything about the neighbors, they just
assumed that one of thier nieghbors probably had a baby and resumed thier
night of passion.
However, this pattern of crying continued nightly for the rest of the week.
Eventually, the couple became concerned about the crying since each night
it grew in intensity. Now, there was no lovemaking going on. Just a curiosity
as to where the sound was coming from. Who had this baby and why was it always
crying?
The weekend eventually came and come Saturday, the neighbors just to the
south of them came to welcome them and brought along a freshly baked sweet
potato pie. The couple quickly became comfortable with thier new neighbors
and decided to go ahead and ask about the crying baby.
Both husband and wife looked confused for a second. No one in the area had
a baby. The youngest child they knew of was already ten years old. Well,
not wanting to look foolish the couple decided to change the subject and
let it go for now.
Later that night, just as it had every night that week, the crying occured
again.
Now the couple began to stress, just a bit. After discussing the issue they
decided that in the morning they would go down to the local church and inquire
about any recent births in the area. Churches in the south still record any
and all local happenings in thier local parishes.
True to thier word, bright and early, the couple went to the
rectory. They met with Father Christopher and were shocked to find that there
was no record of any recent births in the area.
The couple decided that they would just try to ignore the crying from now
on as best they could. But, just as every night before, just after the couple
retired, the crying began again. This time the crying intensified, drawing
the couple toward the sound. It led them to the living room where they traced
it to the fireplace. After carefully checking each brick the husband found
several loose bricks, which he began to remove.
Much to thier surprise, the couple found stashed behind the fireplace bricks,
a small shoebox.
They carefully removed the lid and there, inside, lay the skull of an infant.
They were naturally stunned, and deciced to call the police.
The police came, And they were actually just as confused as the couple. Late
night calls were made to the parish priest and Father Christopher came and
took control of the situation.
A mass was said for the baby that Sunday and the remains were buried in the
local cemetary.
The couple no longer heard the cries.
But, the investigation led to nothing. No one knew who's baby it was since
the people that had owned the house before were childless and elderly.
No one was ever held responsible. No other remains were ever found. But the
couple did resume thier lives as if nothing had ever happened.
Leahanna's Story
It was sometime in the year 2001 when i was sitting at the dinner table,
and my friend had found out one of our good friends had just gotten hit by
a car while ridding a bike and died. When she got the news, she came and
told me right away.
That night,we were all in bed, and i just couldn"t sleep for the longest
time. when i finally fell asleep i had a dream about my friend who had passed
away,the same one. It was strange, it was like he was trying to get my attention,
he was walking across the wall that went along the sidewalk of a school yard,
he was with a friend, and he reached his hand out like he wanted me to grab
it.
As i went to reach for his hand i woke up.
The next morning, when i woke up all i could think about was that dream and
what it was supposed to mean.
That night i myself and some other people were in the living room waiting
for dinner to be ready.
In this house was a ramp and up the ramp a little ways there was a window
sill where you could see right into the kitchen.
Iwalked up the ramp with my hand on the railing when all of a sudden i saw
my friend who had passed away siting in the window sill of the kitchen, he
looked like a ghost, but i knew it was him, i was shocked and a little scared,
Iturned back to look to see if he was still there, but he was gone, he had
vanished. As i passed the window sill i felt something across my hand, like
a wind, its a feeling that i cant explain, but i quickly removed my hand
and went about the night, but the feeling,sights and dreams never came back
ever again.

Fighting Rabbit
We moved to this place, and a few months later my dog, Mania was growling
his head off. I tried to calm him down, yet he kept growling. I said, "Mania,
what's your problem?" He barked and bit at something. I couldn't see anything.
Let me tell you something about Mania. He's friendly, except for small animals.
He won't hurt cats. One night, my cat, Boba hissed at nothing. Boba will
hiss at anything, yet nothing WAS there. She jumped on to whatever it was.
It was strange. A cut appeared on the inside of her ear. She fought with
something, and it cut her. Then, one night, I found a spot of white fur on
the carpet. I don't have any white animals, so I wondered.....
Later, I was talking to the people who live next to me. They said, "Yeah,
those people who had the house before had a white rabbit. The thing would
fight you. It's dead now. Dog killed it."
Later, I saw a rabbit for a second. It was there. Then it hopped, then
disseapered. I moved away, yet the person that moved in had a hamster and
a black rabbit.....
