When I was about eight years old my family moved from NY to MA.
The house we moved into was previously owned by an old woman, who had actually
died in the house. My room was her bedroom (although she died in a hospital
bed in the livingroom). The room was decorated in the appropriate style for
an old lady but not for a little girl. Before we even moved into the house my

mother had my room completely redecorated, I never even saw it in it's
original form. It was a picture perfect little girl's room with pink and
yellow flowers on the wallpaper, a pink rug and big, billowy white curtains,
and I can't forget the big canopy bed!!!
A few nights after we moved into the house I came to breakfast and asked my
mother if an old lady had lived in my room before I did(she had not told me
about the previous owner, worried I would be scared, or more likely that my
older brother would torture me). My mother asked why I would ask such a
question. Then I continued to tell her that I had met the old lady in my
dream the night before in my room, but that my room looked different. My
mother asked what I meant by different, and I explained the room perfectly,
before it had been decorated!!! My mother tried to contain herself from
freaking out, I didn't seem to be scared or frightened, so she didn't want
to overreact. Years after we moved from this house she told me this story. I
truly believe I met the previous owner. What do others think?
I also had a visit from my decease grandfather in the same room. I have never
had a "ghost" experience since, do you think it was the room? the fact that I
was a child? or me?
I'd be curious to hear other reactions.
