How about an apparition of a house?

Strange things tend to happen to my family. Some of the strangest and most bizarre events seem to occur when I'm not around, when my wife and daughter are left on their own. Our most recent encounter with the paranormal is no exception.

The other day, during a tempestuous storm, my wife was driving my daughter to a doctor's appointment. They found themselves on a back-road detour. At one point along the route they sighted a very run-down, evil-looking, boarded-up house sitting alone in an overgrown field about fifty feet back from the road. My wife noticed board-covered upper windows and front door, boarded-up garage or shed alongside, and the generally overgrown look to the field within which the house sat. My daughter also noted a broken downstairs window, sans boards, and that the chimney had partially crumbled.

A sudden realization overcame them both as my wife and daughter became convinced that they had just laid eyes upon one of the more infamous local haunted houses. According to the stories, lights flash in the empty, boarded-up house, and those windows not boarded-up open on their own and even break. The alleged location of this house is in the same general area as the house my wife and daughter saw.

Hoping to give me a chance to see a spectral abode with such an evil reputation and an ill-favoured look, my wife drove the three of us back out on the same route. I was eager to catch sight of this infamous house, but lo and behold, the house wasn't there!

We drove up the street, then turned around and drove back down it. My wife and daughter tried in vain to find the house they knew they had seen on the prior trip, while I looked carefully for any structure that would match their description. A few run-down houses mingled amongst the newer homes, and there was at least one abandoned old house on the route, but nothing matched what my wife and daughter had seen. The one clearly derelict house stood too close to the road, had too many vines growing upon its walls, and had too many trees around it to be the squat, lonely domicile of phantoms spied a few days before.

Making doubly sure there was no mistake, once home I scoured the street-level view of the area on Google maps. To the best of their knowledge, my wife and daughter narrowed the location down to one particular stretch of road. Where the house should have been, the street-level view showed only open field. And even the field itself appeared less wild than my wife and daughter remembered.

Even taking into account the terrible conditions of the day, the details of the sighting are intriguing. Obviously my wife and daughter did see a dreadful house that day. The question remains, where did the house go?

I have no idea if the legendary haunted house still stands on that same road. Is there a chance that this infamous building had been torn down in the recent past? There has been a lot of new construction in that area. The removal of a dilapidated building with a nasty reputation would probably raise property values.

Basically, did my wife and daughter actually see a ghost house? Did they see the spectral vision of a house that no longer exists in the material plane? Even if this wasn't the actual house in the stories we've heard, there was definitely something strange afoot that day. Having read of similar stories, of other instances of ghostly buildings appearing one day and then disappearing the next, I wonder.

What an interesting encounter. And what springs to my mind is yes, your wife and daughter saw a spectral house and it exists in the morphogenetic field. How or why did they see it? My guess would be the electro-magnetic field was highly charged by the stormy weather making it possible for them to see it. This reminds me of the spectral city seen by huge amounts of people in Hong Kong a few years ago on a very foggy day. There seems to be some link between weather anomalies and our ability to see what normally is undetectable by the human eye. I find these sort of reports fascinating.

I do wonder if the weather played a role. The day was dark and stormy, with periods of torrential rain and thunder and lightning. Did that energy open a crack in dimensions, warp the threads of time, or allow angry spirits to temporarily materialize a whole house?

One thing my wife and daughter have no doubts about - the house was evil. It exuded bad vibes.

I would imagine that yes, the storm played a role in the appearance of the ghost house. Intriguing!

The house was there Monday, and gone Friday of that same week. Obviously, it was too little time for the house to be torn down and leave no trace of it's former existence (pile of rubble, disturbed earth, exposed foundation, etc.).

And I can certainly attest to the fact that the field bore no signs of a recently torn-down structure. If a house HAD been there at one point, it last stood on the spot several years ago.

Time lapse? Inter-dimensional porting? A wonderful experience here nevertheless.

Yes, a wonderful experience and one your family are sure to remember for a long time to come, whether an explanation is reached or not. It is fantastic that you guys have each other to share this with and not allow yourselves to disbelieve what happened and slip back into what is considered the 'norm' (denying unusual experiences just to fit in). I honestly believe more of these types of anomalies are happening and that their occurrence is speeding up as we go through a transitional phase as a race and as a planet.
