The Haunted HouseThis haunted house in Hagerstown was built long ago. It is the site of a most provoke ghost story, which happened to my friends friends grandmother. now while I have heard many stories similar to this, I have neer known someone to be involved in one and actually affected by it. My friends friend is a Caucasian, 17-year- old(a), female Christian from Hagerstown. Her dad is a postal worker, and her mother works for the government. The story takes place in the house her grandmother temporarily lived in as a child. I collected this story while I was hanging out with my friend in her room. I happened to mention this assignment, and in comes one of her friends with a story to supposeThis story takes place in Hagerstown, Maryland. Its in this old house where my grandmother lived for like a year when she was younger. Before her family moved in, there was an old woman who had just died there. Her room just so happened to be the same room my grandmother stayed in . My grandmother would tell me that she would leave her room, and when she came back, her door would not moreover be shut, but locked. And this even happened when she was in the room sometimes. Plus, there was this rocking hot seat that was already in the house when they moved in, and it would just rock on its own. Now apparently, there were already rumors that the house was haunted. So, after not even living there for a year, my grandmother and her family moved out.After researching haunted houses in or adjacent Hagerstown, I was surprised to see the many accounts of so called haunted houses in this area. The story I collected includes one of the most common characteristics the mysterious rocking chair that will rock on its own free will. Many of the accounts reported online shared this feature. The other main paranormal activity from this story is the door end and locking itself. This same phenomenon seems to occur in many ghost stories. None of the articles I found online mentioned this feature, but such incidents appear in other stories I have heard from books and movies, so the door shutting and locking itself is certainly not unique to the story above.
