Haunted House in town of Branch
The following report comes from a 33 year old secretary, and dates back to
1985-1988. The ghosts appearances take place in the town of Branch, county of Manitowoc. Over
a period of three years, she stated that there were unexplainable voices,
movement/levitations, unexplainable fires/glass breaking, unexplainable
cold/hot spots, physical attacks, and pets were affected by the ghostly
encounters leading her to believe it was a haunted house. She wrote the details of those three years as follows:
Details: "When I was 15 Years old, in 1985, My mother, stepfather and
myself, moved into a house that my stepfather and mother had purchased in
Manitowoc county, for a very, very low price, that had stood vacant for
quite some time. The house was for sale for many years, and when they
purchased the house and the land, there was a couple who lived there that
had rented the property for awhile. While we were moving in, the couple who
had rented the house had questioned my mom and stepfather about buying the
place. The woman, had told my mom that strange things occured (sp. occurred) there, and
that in her opinion, they were making a big mistake by purchasing the old
house. She didn't elaborate on the subject, in fact she was somewhat vague
about it, but told my mom that things happened, very bad things, and that
she and her husband were moving so that they could save their marriage,
which I assumed was falling apart at the time. After about six months of
living there, things started to happen. We had two German Shepard dogs, who
would viciously bark and bear teeth at nothing, around 2:30 am. That is when
the strange things would mostly happen. You could hear whispering at all
times of the day. You couldn't make out words, just faint whispering. One
evening, late at night, I woke up to the dogs barking terribly loud, and
hearing a crash from down at the bottom of the stairs. The front door, which
was never used, had been ripped from its hinges, and hung there. It was the
middle of winter. No wind outside, a completely calm night. Then the
personalities started to change. My mother became a terrible alchoholic (sp.
alcoholic), and
my stepfather became very physicly (sp. physically) abusive to my mom. They had been together
for 4 or 5 years before we moved into the house, and they always had gotten
along great. I myself started to change for the worse. My grades slipped, I
began to not care about anyone, or anything. It seemed as if whatever
spirit, or thing this was, was after my mom. Up until one point, she was the
only one to see anything. She had been sleeping one night in bed, and woke
out of a sound sleep to see a 3 foot tall thing in a hood with a horribly
disfigured face next to the bed looking at her. She woke my stepdad, and he
saw it too. It turned and walked towards the stairwell outside the bedroom,
and disappeard (sp. disappeared). On other occasions she witnessed shadows moving across the
room, and the room filling with smoke, when none of us ever smoked in the
house. On one occasion she awoke from sleeping on the couch, and went to the
bathroom. She was getting ready to go upstairs, and in the doorway, was a
tall, what she said to be a man, with a hood, standing there. She said she
had closed her eyes, thinking she might be dreaming, opened them again, and
he was standing right in front of her in the kitchen. She pleaded with the
thing to go away, and leave her alone, and it struck her across the head
so hard it knocked her to the ground. Once again, she claimed that this
thing had such a disfigured face. Other incidents occured (sp. occurred), such as things
moving by themselves, the living room would be freezing cold, but the
kitchen would be boiling hot at the same time. One time we had an
unexplained chimney fire, and when the fire department came over, they
checked the smoke alarms, and the 3 smoke alarms we had, all the wires had
been cut. There was one instance where I was home alone, and we had a
leather recliner in the living room. I was sitting on the couch watching TV,
and the recliner seat sank in and went back all by itself, like someone who
I couldn't see had just sat down. It was the scariest thing that had ever
happened to me. I didn't see anything the way my mom did, but I sure felt
something. While this all was happening, my mother drank more, and my
stepfather was more and more abusive. My mom tried to contact the woman that
lived there before us for more info on her experiences in the house, and
when she finally found her, the woman would not speak with my mom, and told
her just to "GET OUT!" She refused to bring up her past experiences in that
house. When I turned 18, in 1988, I moved out the day of my 18th birthday.
The occurences (sp. occurrences) still occured (sp. occurred), which seemed to my mom on a more frequent
basis. Things got worse. I refused to go there on holidays, or regular
visits. I was scared to death to go there. But my mom, for some reason loved
her house, and refused to leave it. After several years, my stepdad
eventually left my mom, and she had the house to herself. During that period
of time, she quit her job, and lived like a reckloose (sp. recluse) in that house. She
didn't go anywhere, didn't pay bills, didn't do anything. It was real scary.
Finally the bank forclosed (sp. foreclosed) on the house, and she was forced to move. That
was over one year ago. The house is still vacant as I'm writing this, as far
as I know. I drive by there every now and then to see if anyone is living
there, and so far not. It was a real scary thing for all of us. When I look
back now, the 3 years I spent there seem almost like a blur to me. Its a
time in my life ! that I really would like to forget."
