This is a story about an encounter I had with a spirit. I was just fresh out of the military in 1994 in Barstow California. I met my wife there, she was living in a apartment at the time and I had moved in with her. One day she was at work and I hear noises in the kitchen. I get up to investigate and saw chairs stacked, a crockpot had moved and cupboards open. I was stunned and put everything back in its place. 2 hours later, the same thing. I took out a video camera and set it in the kitchen on record. Waited about 3 hours and then it happened again. I played back the tape, th he video shows cupboards opening and closing, the crockpot moving across the counter and a row of paper towels thrown off of the counter. We experienced other things like tissue pulled out of a box and ripped in midair. One night we were laying in bed and it sounded like someone was prowling around the house. It was dark and I heard creaking in the living room. I poked my head around the corner and there was a full apparition of an old lady rocking in a chair, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. She didn't look at me , just at the wall. I didn't stick around much longer, I went back to bed shaking. I am sure I was as white as a ghost. That night made me a believer. We were there for 2 more months. I was told later that someone died there years ago.
