Many years ago we moved into what was technically called the last house on the left at the end of a long road.

When we moved in, previous tenants warned us that odd things would happen there.

Well, we didn't believe him at first, but our disbelief was short-lived. It began with my four-year-old daughter

screaming at something she had seen in the living room. She said it was a

black cloud that had crossed the room and disappeared into a corner.

At the time we dismissed it, but a few days later when my wife's sister came for a visit,

she watched in horror as that same black cloud reappeared from the same corner and enveloped her two little girls.

Later that same day my wife saw that same cloud come from the corner and wrap itself around her.

She described it as suffocating, it was hot and smelling of sulfur and burning meat. The clouds seem to manifest itself

around only women and girls. Fortunately for my sons that did not mean that males were spared from the haunting.

The house was built into the side of a hill with the front door on the west and it opened

onto the second floor with the living room and dining room and kitchen and bathroom were.

The door on the east side of the house opened onto the first floor where the bedrooms and laundry room were located.

The front door always squeaked loudly and no amount of W.D.

Forti-Graphite or silicone gel would make it quiet.

One night the boys, aged 8 and 6, heard the front door open, so they went to investigate.

And in the open front door they saw an odd green mist.

When they approached the door to see

from where the glow was originating, it vanished.

My younger son was the one who discovered

the specters aversion to pleasant smells.

My wife had set out store-bought air fresheners, but this was useless.
