Haunted

Investigators

While I was sitting outside, letting the dogs out my phone rang, I noticed on the caller id that it was Cady “Hello,” I said. “Hello, Emily, this is Cady from CPS I was wanting to let you know that I had talked with the team and we would like to come to meet you and your husband tonight then investigate tomorrow night if that works for you,” 

“That works for us I was hoping I wouldn’t have to wait too long,” 

“We are glad we could help and we will see you tonight,” Finally, Jack got home from work. I really hate it when he works late. “So, did you find somebody to come to investigate the house,” He asked as he walked through the door. “Actually, I did and they are supposed to be here tonight to meet with us also to get a feel of the house then they will come back to investigate tomorrow night,” The investigators showed up around eight to do their meet and greet. “Hello, my name is Steve I am with CPS are you Emily,” The well-dressed man at the door asked. “Yes, I am please come in,” I say as I hold the door open for him and the lady with him. “Hello, Emily I’m Cady, we spoke on the phone this morning,” Said a short redheaded lady. “Yes, hello, thank you for coming, please have a seat,” I say as I motion toward the couch. “So, Cady told me that a ghost of a miner has followed you from Grand Mountain, Montana to here is that right,” Steve confirmed as he sat down. “Yes, that’s correct,” I affirmed. “Okay, so can you tell me what is going on here since you've moved back,” 

“Well, while I was in the bathroom, I heard him whisper my name, then again in the office,” 

“Cady said that some objects showed up while you were unpacking that you hadn’t packed up,”

 “Yes, the bone over there in the dog bed and a hand soap dispenser,”

 “The spirit/ghost could have attached itself to one of these items to move with you and by bringing them into your house you might have brought it inside your home,” 

“Oh, no are you serious we actually brought this ghost in our house,” 

 “I’m afraid so,”

 Right after Steve says that we all hear laughter all around us. Steve immediately pulls out his EVP recorder as he jumps up and starts asking the ghost questions. “What is your name,” 

“Why are you haunting this family,” Then he rewinds the recorder to see if he caught anything. “What is your name,” You hear Steve ask then you hear the response “She knows my name,” Next comes Steve’s voice asking “Why are you haunting this family,” Again, we hear the disembodied voice say “She is my wife,” I sit there shaking uncontrollably not from being cold but from fear. For the first time in my life, I actually felt deep fear not for my life but for Jack's life. “Emily the spirit said you knew his name can you tell me it,” Steve asked as he sits back down. I shook my head “No,” Jack answers for me “His name is Alexander Hughes a miner that was killed in Grand Mountain in the first mine explosion,” You see Cady on the other side of Steve writing frantically in her notebook unaffected by what had just happened. “And do you know why this Alexander Hughes thinks she is his wife and not yours,” Steve asks. “No, we don’t as far as we know Emily's family is from around here and while we were looking into Alexander’s life we never did see a picture of his wife just the daughter. His wife had died four years prior to the explosion,” Jack explained what we have found out about our ghost. “Until we find out exactly what this Alexander Hughes wants I suggest that you two find somewhere else to go,” Steve stated looking at us sternly. “Oh, okay, I’ll go grab some things,” I announce as I head to the bedroom to pack us a bag. “I’ll go with you,” Cady says following behind me. I turn to look at her questionably and say “Uh, okay,” I throw enough clothes for three days into a bag, then head into the laundry room to get the dogs a baggie full of food. Cady and I meet up with the guys who are outside talking. “Did you get everything you need,” Jack asked me as I hold open the door for the little dogs to go out? “I believe so if not we can always go to the store,” I yawn. “I know that it’s been a long night so Cady and I will go so you two can go to the hotel you are going to and get some rest and we will let you know what we find out in our investigation tomorrow night alright,” We head to a hotel that will be our home for a couple of nights. When we thought we were going to have a quiet night Jack and I heard a voice say “You can’t leave,” I immediately grabbed my phone and call Steve to let him know what had happened. I immediately put him on speakerphone so Jack can hear the conversation. “Steve, I think the ghost followed us I was unpacking when both Jack and I heard a voice saying, "You can't leave,” I groaned. “That’s what I feared it’s you that is haunted Emily,” He said sympathetically. “So, you're telling me that it doesn’t matter where I go he is going to follow me like a stalker,” I ask sarcastically. “Yes, ma’am, you have a ghost stalker.” Steve laughs trying to make me feel better, which it doesn’t. “Okay, well, we are going to stay here tonight since we are already here then head home in the morning since it obviously doesn’t matter where she goes,” Jack told Steve a little more hotly than I hope he had meant to then hangs up the phone.
