THERE IS A HOUSE ON MUIRLAND ROAD THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE
HAUNTED BY A FRIENDLY GHOST. THE PEOPLE WHO LIVED THERE
NOTICED THAT IF THEY LEFT FOR AN EVENING AND LEFT A FEW
LIGHTS ON, WHEN THEY RETURNED DIFFERENT LIGHTS WOULD BE
ON. HANGERS WOULD FALL OFF THE CLOSET RACK FOR NO REASON
AND AS SOON AS THEY WERE HUNG BACK UP AND THE PEOPLE WERE
DOWNSTAIRS, THEY WOULD HEAR THE HANGERS ALL FALL OFF AGAIN.
ALSO THEY WOULD HEAR FOOTSTEPS OF SOMEONE WALKING UPSTAIRS
WHEN ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE HOUSE WERE TOGETHER DOWN-
STAIRS AND WHEN THEY INVESTIGATED, THERE WAS NO ONE THERE.

Submitter comment: KATHY BELIEVES IN THIS BECAUSE SHE WAS IN THE HOUSE WHEN
SOME OF THESE MYSTERIOUS THINGS HAPPENED. SHE ALSO BELIEVED
ALONG WITH THE INHABITANTS OF THE HOUSE THAT THE GHOST WAS
FRIENDLY BECAUSE IT NEVER DID ANY HARM.
