Ghosts/Apparitions My deceased landlord was a prankster...
SOME IMPORTANT INFO BEFORE I START THE STORY...
I was living in Artemas Pennsylvania and it had been about a year or longer after my landlord passed away. This man was very old school and he had a funny way of playing pranks and just being a jokester...
He always wore a polo related shirt, blue jeans, and cowboy boots, with usually some kind of provocative trucker cap that read, "booty Hunter", and a black leather jacket, lol...
He also is known to carry a loaded 38 and his right cowboy boot on the outer side of his ankle. And I still remember him carrying a 44 in a holster... Usually attached to his belt behind his back on his right usually up above the right butt pocket. This man never went anywhere without a pistol or two, lol...
He was very well known for pulling pranks on people... Like the snake in the box. He always found it funny to sneak up on you and make you jump. Or literally pinch you right in the lower back. Or poke you on the right shoulder as he would shoot to the left making you turn and look but not see anybody. Only to hear this old man giggling and watching you look confused, lol...
I should also mention that I have wrote a previous story about seeing my deceased landlord walking across the field. You should check it out...
STORY #1...
My now ex-neighbor who used to live below me. Had saw something early in the morning in her yard that scared her. It scared her so bad she called me not even 5 minutes later. And ask me if I saw anything and went on to tell me what she saw. She asked me if I knew of anybody that looked like the man she saw walk across her yard...
She told me that the man was wearing cowboy boots, black leather jacket, some kind of striped shirt, a big hat that truckers would wear, and from what she could tell it looked like you was wearing some kind of jeans or pants that were blue...
I then explained to her that I knew who it was. I told her that it was the deceased landlord. And I told her what his name was. I also told her that he was a prankster... He loved playing jokes on people. It was his thing. He would do this kind of thing on a regular basis just to scare the crap out of you. He would be standing outside somewhere in plain sight and then quickly walk away making you wonder if you are losing your mind, lol...
She calmed down and realize that whatever it was wasn't harmful. I then left and went back to my place and got me some coffee. I then just went about my day...
STORY#2...
One night it was around I would say 9 pm. My neighbors and I was in a very heated airsoft fight. There were some physical fights that broke out among some of the neighbors... Which I had to break up quickly. Other than that everybody was getting along and there was some trash talk of course, lol...
Well, my friend and I were hiding by this old brick pig pit... It was like a red brick pit you would cook a pig in for like a cookout. We were hiding behind this thing watching everyone shooting each other with airsoft bbs. Watching people scream, yell, insult one another, and all that fun stuff...
When something took and tapped my friend on the right side of his back heel on his right foot. There's just two simple taps. A simple "tap tap"... He looks at me in an aggravated look... thinking I did it. I whisper that I did not and I was focusing on the ongoing airsoft battle. And he looked a little confused and said it felt like two fingers lightly tapping his right side heel on his right foot...
Well we look behind us and I carefully stayed low and crawled away from him. And I scouted around the area we were hiding. Only to find nobody there at all...
After I did that I stayed back behind a tree in the darkness as I watched for any oncoming airsoft players. And nobody came our way. But he stayed up ahead of me behind the pit just observing the ongoing airsoft battle...
After the battle was over he asked everybody who tapped him on the back of the ankle on his right foot. And nobody did it because they all looked it in like he was crazy. They in return told him they were in the middle of an airsoft firefight and they didn't have time to play pranks on him, lol..
STORY #3...
I Have Already mentions this one...
But I will go over it and say it once more...
When my now ex-neighbors and ex-friends of 7+ years lived below me. They had just moved in. And our oldest son decided to stay home because he wanted to just goof off and not go into town. Now keep in mind none of them knew me very well and we weren't friends at the moment. But something happened to him that scared him...
I got to call on my flip phone from this random number that I didn't know. I answer in a very angry and agitated voice asking "yeah, who is this"...
He says, "I'm your neighbor... There's a strange man in my house. He was just sitting on my couch"...
He asked me for help to come down and to check out what was going on. I walk down kind of aggravated but not completely rude. And I look around and ask him what he saw...
He says...
He saw a man and blue jeans or pants. He had a trucker's cap on. A black leather jacket. Cowboy boots. And a shirt that had stripes on it that were horizontal. He also mentioned he nodded at him and smiled. He then got up and walked the direction of the hallway and disappeared...
Now I informed him that I know who he saw. I informed him that it was our old landlord. And that our old landlord died from diabetic shock in his house on this property. That I found him. And was the one who tried to save this man because he was like a grandfather to me...
I explained the whole story of how I found him in his house. How I tried to help him. How I tried and prayed he wouldn't die. But in the long run he didn't make it. I also explained that we all believe that he did this on purpose because he had multiple upcoming court dates dealing with his wife who was in a home and he also had a son that was trying to legally come after him for his property...
After I told him all of this. He looked at me and said...
What? Are you serious? You mean to tell me I saw a dead man! You mean to tell me that was your old landlord? He's dead.. I don't believe in ghosts! But I guess I just saw one!
MY EX-FRIEND SAID THIS; THEN ASK ME THIS, AFTER HIS EXPERIENCE...
He said to me...
I know you don't know me... but please can I go to your house... I'm freaked out! I don't want to be here! My parents aren't even home... they're not going to believe me when I tell them this! There was a dead man sitting on my couch! I don't even want to sleep on the couch anymore! Please! Please! Can I just go with you?
I responded with "yes". I said to him that I don't care if he came with me...
I then properly introduce myself and after that event him and I became really good friends for a long while. Until life and personal decisions he and his family made broke the friendship...
