After moving her young family into their first house-a small suburban home in the Midwest-a series of strange and chilling events take place: unexplained noises, objects disappearing, lights going out by themselves, phantom footsteps. And then M. L. Woelm's neighbor confirms the horrifying truth: her house is haunted.Beginning in 1968 and spanning three decades, this moving memoir chronicles the hair-raising episodes that nearly drove an ordinary housewife and mother to the breaking point. With friends who thought she was crazy and a skeptical, unsupportive husband who worked nights, the author was left all alone in her terror. How did she cope with disembodied sobs, eerie feelings of being watched, mysterious scratches appearing on her throat, and a phantom child's voice crying "Mommy!" in her ear?
Discover how frazzled nerves and constant stress wreak havoc on the author's health and marriage, until she finally finds validation and understanding from ghost expert Echo Bodine, friends, her grown children, and finally . . . her husband.
