Secret Ghosts

My wife and I live in Jefferson, Texas, that probably has more haunted places per capita than any other place that I've found. The most interesting thing about this to me is that so many people don't want to talk about that.

For instance, we have some friends that live in an old house like ours, dating back to the 1800s. While we readily share the things that happen at our house, The Grove, they've always contended that their place is not haunted.

We were there one night, and my wife was in one of the bedrooms alone, when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She said that it touched her with such familiarity that she thought that it must be me. She turned around to say something to me, only to find that she was alone in the room... the hand had pulled away as she turned around.

When we asked our friends, the lady just smiled and said, "One of these days I'll have to tell you some stories."

I guess that some people just aren't comfortable with the idea of others knowing that they live in a "haunted house", and also believe in ghosts.
