Here are a couple of stories that I know about. Hope they will be helpful to you. Let me know. Thanks.
This happened in Cattaraugus County. But first here is a little history of the family who lived here. Three members of this family died in strange ways. The father, he was putting hay in the barn across the street, and accidentally hung himself with the hay pulley getting the hay in the barn. The daughter died of an abscessed tooth. Finally the Mother went across the street to get apples and died of a heart attack. They assumed she lay there outside for about two weeks before anyone had found her.
After the Mothers’ death, the house was sold. While these new owners were living there, many weird things began happening. While laying in bed they would here the lock on the front door, sliding back and forth, and when they would check it out, no one was ever around. Another incidence was when his wife was alone at home, she would here someone call her name, thinking it was her husband she would answer back, and he was never around. Ironically, her name was the same name as the daughter that had died of an abscess tooth. Sometimes when she was in the bathroom, all of a sudden she would see some sort of white spiral coming toward her. That was something that couldn’t be explained. Knowing that she was part Indian, she believed in the spiritual happenings that surrounded her, and so she asked someone to come to the home and check it out. They said that there were strong spirits amongst them. Soon after their children were born, they sold the house.
This family while living there, the house caught on fire in the bathroom. After that the house caught fire again. So they decided to sell it. After the house was sold to someone else, the house finally burnt to the ground. But other than that, I don’t know if either of the other owners experienced other things while living there. But the family did rebuild, but built the house back further on the property, and someone is living in it.
THE END
This also happened in Cattaraugus County.
This happened to me some years ago when there was a barn down the road and across the street where I used to live. One morning while I was getting ready for school, and sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast, I happened to look out the window at the snow across the road, when I could have sworn I had seen someone jump out into the snow from the barn. It seemed to look like it was a black shadow of a person. It scared me some, and when I told this person about what had happened, they went down to the barn to look around and said that there were no footprints in the snow, so it couldn’t have happened and that I was just seeing things that weren’t there. But I do know that I did see something that day.
