Granny's Place

Plymouth has a lot of older homes and a lot of them have stories. The first home I know of personally is my husband's grandmother's home.

   It is their family home...has been for many generations. It is a 2 story home and she only lives in the ground floor level. Upstairs there are 3 rooms and a bathroom, it had been converted into an apartment, so there is a kitchen a bedroom and I guess you could say a living room   as well. on occasion there are footsteps heard walking across the floor and down the steps. According to Granny some great aunt roams around up there. I have been up there many times, but Granny won't let me take any pictures because she claims it is such a mess (it is all used for storage now) but there are many cold spots up there. She also says there are a few others up there as well.

The other home that I know of first hand is just a few houses away from where Granny lives. A friend of ours and his family lived there when he was little. He told us some wonderful stories of doors and cabinets opening and shutting and how his dad one night decided to get rid of the ghosts and drew a huge pentagram in the floor and just made it worse (duh) so the moved out. Apparently the house was a whore house for a while, then a tea house, then an old folks home, then owned by various people. It sat vacant for quite a while, then another one of our friend's parent's bought it. We had heard so many neat stories from our other friend, who refused to set foot in the house, so we wanted to see for ourselves...we didn't find much, except for some odd things around the house. 1. There was an ancient wheelchair in the basement of the house. Sitting next to the wheelchair was a book...Misery by Stephen King with a picture of the same wheelchair on the cover...our friend Chris said that if there were any paragraphs underlined in the book he was not going to stay there anymore. The dog refused to go into the basement, also, and there were a few cold spots down there. The outline of the pentagram was still in the living room floor. Up in the attic, I found this very humorous, there were 2 doll boxes, both empty, one that contained Freddy Kruger and the other contained Chucky...then going up to the little tower there was a stop sign in front of the door....one of our friends took it as a true sign and said he wouldn't go any further. We ended up not going any further either because we lost power to our flashlight....which started working fine when we got back downstairs. Now our friend's parents have lived in this house for a few years. They are working on re doing the whole place. They re did the floor so the pentagram is gone. They also brought the wheelchair upstairs and now it is in the parlor with dolls  on it (I found this a little morbid). They haven't had nay problems as of late....but I have heard that once you start to remodel a place that has been known for creepy stuff you sometimes open a whole new can of worms.
 

Chaos Comment: Sometimes (not always) remodeling will stir things up. Maybe the spirits followed the past occupant out of this place.
