Our first house in Phoenix was sold to us by a widower who's husband passed away in the house. We were young and got a good deal on the house and thought absolutley nothing about that fact. Whether this matters or not, they were also survivors of Auchwitz as per their brandings I noticed on the old womans arm. Anyway, for the 15 years we owned the house, I was awakened constantly by the sound of someone pacing up and down the hallway. At first, I would always get up to find nothing. Now mind you I worked for a construction company at the time and knew the difference in the sound of the house settling. I never talked to my wife about it because I didn't want to bother her. To make a long story short, when we sold the house, she related to me how happy she was to get away from there. She told me that at least once a month on the average, she would wake to the feeling of someone standing over her. When she woke up she saw the dark form of an older man watching her from what she judged was about 5 feet away. I always wandered why when I left for business, she would prop chairs against the door handles to prevent anyone coming in. The only other thing with that house was that when our son was about 4, we were awakened in the middle of the night by talking coming from his bedroom. We rushed in to find him sitting totally erect in bed, talking loudly in "tounges". That to this day still tightens the old sphincter.
