My house use to belong to and old woman that lived alone in her later years. Quite often, when I'm in the cellar, I hear the front door then footsteps through the living room (hardwood, rug, hardwood) then into the dining room where they stop. The first few times I went up to see who it was...nothing. This has been going on for 25 years and I'm not the only one to hear it. Even the dog, laying on the cellar floor, would look up.

Years ago two friends and myself were looking to rent an old (150 yrs) house, We arranged to meet the Real Estate woman there one afternoon. I went there after work and my friends and the woman were already touring the house. Inside, I yelled and they responded from the second floor, so I went up the stairs and down the hall. As I passed one of the empty bedrooms I noticed a little girl sitting on the floor talking to her doll in a sing-song voice like kids do. When we finished with the second floor we went down the back stairs to the kitchen and did the first floor. Finished, we started to leave and I asked the woman, what about her kid, as she locked the door. Well she didn't have any kids. We searched the house from top to bottom. No kid. We rented a house across the street.
