My grandma had been living in this coverted barn house for 30+ years...and occasionally she would hear footsteps on the stairs and upstairs, but genuinely disregarded it. well she finally decided to move to a house my uncle built for her and on her last night there she woke up that morning and the bedroom door was open. And when she looked out she saw this little boy, with dark brown hair and he said “don’t leave”. Then he was gone....
the week after she moved that house burned to the ground
