The James T. Callow Folklore Archive

This is a true story. One night I was working the afternoon
shift at Ford Motor Company Steel Division. I came home and saw
all the lights in the house on. Every light in every room was
lit. My wife was in the living room, sitting all curled up and
looking like she just seen a ghost. I asked her what was going
on? She just looked at me and said she had fallen asleep on
the couch and when she woke up all the lights were on. She said
she believed that it was the ghost of old Mrs. Thompson, the
woman who died in the living room. To this day, I believe that
we were visited by her ghost.

Submitter comment: My step daughter was only five years at the time, so I really
don't think that she could have turned on all the lights the way
they were. I sold this house in 1988.
