A difficult so. The Highland Park home was a spacious two story built in
the early nineteen hundreds. It was also vacant and had been on the market
for a long time. At twenty thousand dollars below market value, the place
was a bargain, yet it seemed somehow to put people off. Even the
real estate agent who was trying so hard to sell the property. I do
to admit that it gave her a peculiar feeling. The agent's mother, who
had one day visited the house with her daughter, concurred the bedroom on the
second floor seemed particularly uncomfortable to her. She left it shivering and stated it
empathetically, I do not like that room or this house. Several days later,
the real estate agent was hosting the party. Among the twenty guests was
a psychic who seemed very interested in the story of the unsellable property. At
his suggestion, the group spontaneously left their cattels and ore's devours and paid a
visit to the vacant house. What happened there was documented and the Dallas Morning
News November thirtieth of nineteen seventy five. Although nobody had lived in the house
for a year when the group walked in, they could smell still tobacco smoke,
reported the psychic. The man followed his impressions to the back bedroom on
the second floor. The partygoers followed, and all the twenty people then stood
in a circle holding hands. The psychic asked if any one else was present.
The real estate agent leader told the news all of a sudden, this
whitish gray mist appeared in the center of the room. It started low,
went higher, and developed into an apparition of a young girl. The agent
said that she could see through the figure to people on the other side of
the circle. At one point, she stepped forward and watched her arm go
right through the image. When she stepped back, the ghost was still there.
I tried to talk to her, the agent said, but I couldn't
get answers. After what seemed like an eternity, the spirit began to move
her arms and disappeared from the head down. After the wreath vanished, the
room was filled with the stench of tobacco. Nobody present had been smoking.
Later, the real estate agent surveyed her guests and determined that approximately half of
those who had been in the room had seen the vision of the young girl.
No one could offer an explanation. According to the news, the windows
in the room were covered, eliminating any possibility that the apparition was a reflection
from outside. The group could only conclude that they had witnessed an actual gost
and wondered who the girl might have been. According to one report, a
man had killed his own daughter in the house. The real estate agent said
that an old trunk found an attic contained several locks of child's hair and a
portrait of an elderly man. In the end, there is no way to
know for sure what had taken place in the home. Only the result was
obvious, said the real estate agent. It is not a happy house.
Eventually, the place sold for thirty thousand dollars below lis bryce, or roughly
half the market value. Did the buyers get a bargain? That really depends
upon how sensitive they were to the spirit world and how well they tolerated the
smell of tobacco.
