Secret Supernatural Tales

It never ceases to surprise me how many people come up to me with ghost stories, telling me incredible tales, but then swearing me to secrecy. For example, a lady saw me the other day and said, "You're that fellow that writes about ghosts!"

I just shrugged and said, "Guilty."

She then proceeded to tell me that at her house, they had a lady doing wallpaper upstairs several years ago. The woman had tacked one sheet up just to get the pattern going, then came downstairs for cigarette. When she went back up, the wallpaper was down and was rolled neatly and had been set in the chair. The lady doing the wallpapering quit, and never came back. The couple who owned the house painted the room, instead.

When I was told about this, I was sworn to secrecy, and asked never to reveal the story's place of origin. I'll respect that, but do keep in mind, most places in the town of Jefferson, TX have a ghost story or two!
