The Ghost in the Curtains

* As told by Susan

We lived in a three bedroom house at Richmond South Australia.
My eldest brother Derrick who is about six foot tall had the middle bedroom. We were given some second-hand curtains which we put up in Derricks room.

That night a large man well over eight feet tall with pointed hair (shaped like a pointed cone and he looked like an Indian), came out of the curtain and started to attack  Derrick. This man picked Derrick up by putting his huge hand around Derrick's throat and threw him against the wall. Derrick fought back with all his strength as Derrick was strong himself and had learnt Judo, this man-thing left.

Derrick stayed up the next night just in case it came back. It didn’t that night but the next night it came and once again they fought.  Derrick even head-butted this man-thing, then it was gone again. It didn’t come back the next night.

Derrick told his girlfriend and she gave Derrick a cross to wear.  Derrick said “what can a cross do against this giant man-thing?” but promised he would do what she told him to do.

That night it came back ready to attack Derrick again, then Derrick showed the cross and told the man-thing to ‘Go … Go in Gods or Jesus's name.’  With that the man-thing left but went into our other brother’s room. When Derrick saw this happened  he ran after it, telling it to ‘get out … get out of here and never return.’

Derrick showed us his neck and you could plainly see the buised hand mark nearly all the way around his throat.

When Derrick told us that it came from out of the curtain, we immediately took the curtains down and threw them into the rubbish.

We’ve never kept second-hand curtains again.

The Haunted Old Farmhouse

* As told by Tracy Samual

We lived in an OLD farm house, it was over 100 years old and haunted.

One day we were all going out and the car had 4 flat tyres so we had to get someone out to fix them, so after that we locked the house up and left.  When we got back home the door was opened and the key was on the floor.  This happened every day and then one day you could see an old lady in a rocking chair knitting and her husband beside her.

If you put stuff down you would see it move. There was one day a friend brought over their stereo and sat it on the bed and it started to play and it was not even plugged in. The red light was on, the turn table was going round and round but no records in it, so we all ran out screaming and you could fill a cold breeze go past.

They would take your stuff and hide them from you and move stuff on you, and at night you could see a person standing at the window with a hat on and a long coat and when you went out there, there would be a wet patch where they were standing, but no one around.

The whole house was so spooky even when we tried to light the fire you could feel someone blow out the match each time you tried to light it.

One day my mum put an old record out in the bin and when she walked in it was sitting on the table. Then she took it back out and you could see it floating back inside and fall back on the table.

People would come up to you and tell you that they could see ghosts moving around.  So we moved out and friends we knew moved in and they had the same stuff happen to them and they did not last long there either.
