My (quite possibly haunted) House

I live with two other roommates in a three bedroom, one bathroom apartment. Our apartment is actually an old Victorian house that was remodeled inside and turned into apartments. Being an extremely old house, it gets pretty scary at night with all the creaks and other noises. The house was built in 1860 so has obviously had a lot of residents since, like I mentioned before, it is an old house. Now I am a pretty curious person, and being curious I decided to look up the house’s history online. Upon doing this, I stumbled across a website that listed all of the previous occupants of my house. I came to find out that a slave stairway was built “inside the walls” so that the slaves could get to different levels of the house without being seen. Even creepier than this, were the multiple people who have died in my house. Now I don’t know about you, but this came as quite a shock to me who would have been happy to never have known this. I had noticed a lot of strange occurrences at night (sounds that are unexplainable, lights going out unexpectedly, etc) which I attributed to the age of the house. Now let me give you a disclaimer: I do not believe in ghosts, not have I ever believed in such things. But, some pretty creepy things have happened since living in this apartment.  After hearing Lauren’s stories of her apartment hauntings, I am now starting to catalog the strange occurrences so that I can share them with others.I will keep you updated with anything abnormally scary, because everyone loves a good ghost story. Anyways, this is a little off topic (ok, a lot off topic) from what Emily posted but it was on my mind so I thought I would share.
