Can I Lend a Hand?

I am a plumber by trade and often come into contact with some pretty strange places. On two seperate occasions I've visited an elderly womans house which is located off of Redding Rd. in the Fort Wayne area. This area was at one time an old canal way (Erie Canal I believe). On the first visit to the home I was asked to repair some leaky pipes in the basement,the woman directed me to the stairs as she was unable to come down with me due to her condition(leg trouble),she told me her nieghbor might be over to check on my progress. I found the problem, got my tools and proceeded to get started on the repair. While soldering pipes together I heard shuffling of feet behind me then a soft mans voice asking if I neede some help and if I was almost finished. With my torch in hand I turned around to answer who I thought was the nieghbor only to find no one there. Okay I thought that was rude he must have hurried up the steps before I could stop to answer him. So I finished my work and went back upstairs to let the lady know I was finished. She asks me "did you feel that someone was with you down there?" I said "yes I think your nieghbor came down to check on me." she said "oh no dear that wasn't my neighbor it was a soldier that lives here." then she proceeds to show me different pictures of a transparent man in several photos throughout the home. she claims he likes to play pranks on people that are new to the home and she often smells the smoke of a pipe in the home. By this time the hair on my neck is at full attention. I could'nt wait to collect payment and leave. Two days later my office recieved a call from her claiming I forgot to turn her water back on, so I made a return trip, quickly entering the basement to find all three new shut off valves turned off, I hurriedly turned them back on and exited the basement. After talking with the woman she says she had water the day I left then the next morning she did not. Her and I both know the water was on because I tested it after my initial repair. She said "see I told you he likes to play pranks." This time before leaving so fast I sat down for 20 min. or so just to talk with her, wow the stories she can tell and the things she has seen in her home. Her dog would not stop brking at the basement dorr the entire time she says he does this at night also and she has had a mans voice wake her up in the night to tell her to get her dog because he is barking. I could go on and on with related stories. Since then I have not been called back, maybe it just took me listening to her for my transparent friend to leave the water on.
