Gateshead Crescent Story
Stoney Creek, Ontario
by D. Nelson

I used to live on Gateshead Crescent in Stoney Creek. I lived in one of the centre courts, from the years 1980 - 1986.
My family and I had nothing but scary, freakish experiences, which were also witnessed by neighbours, friends and other family members.

Some nights, I wouldn't get any sleep, because I'd be awaken by shadows, noises close to my bed, or the sounds of my dolls' eyes, (a doll collection my grandmother started for me when I was 5), clicking as if they were blinking in the dark. My mother and I watched our little dog, be kicked from a bean-bag chair, which left the imprint of a person's foot.

Many things happened in our unit. Too many to tell within this submission. Not only did strange, un-nerving things happen, but it also seemed to change the personalities of the people whom lived in our unit, tenants before and after us. I did become friends with some of the tenants who rented the home after our family sold it. They also experienced some strange things, some horrible.

Ghosts seen:

- Woman shaving legs in upper bathroom.
- Young boy with hooded sweater or jacket.
- Short man
