Today on The Grave Talks, a conversation about the lady in the bay window, the true story of a haunted

Sheffield home with author William C. Grave. As a skeptic, William never believed in ghosts or the paranormal until he purchased his current residence 18 years ago.

His first experience was when he drove by the house with a friend and his friend said,

it's a lovely house, but who's the old lady in the bay window?

William saw no one, but his friend saw her and several other people have seen her since.

In his new book, The Lady in the Bay window, William shares his experiences living in a very haunted home.

In the book, he shares 25 stories of paranormal activity that have happened in his house,

from sightings of apparitions to strange footsteps and poltergeist activity.

To help explain the strange occurrences, he brought in a paranormal investigation crew

mystery of William's haunted home. After 18 years of living with paranormal activity, William still thinks of himself as a skeptic.

However, now he says he's a skeptic with an open mind.

So nothing at all had ever happened that I couldn't really explain.

So, yeah, I came to this house as a complete and utter sceptic, a very logical person,
