This is my firsthand account of living and surviving in a haunted house. It was during the 1960's, lasting about three long years beginning when I was 9 years old. My recently widowed mother was a sensitive and understood what was happening so she was able to keep us safe. There really are things that some would call demons. There are other entities as well, not always hostile. Sometimes seen, sometimes heard and sometimes doing more than that. They don't interact the same with everyone. I'll show you some of the things they do, how they can affect you as they did me and my family. Why they...

I was a young man of about twenty five. Up to then, I had worked hard and applied myself. I had been taught honesty and hard work would make things go well.

This book is the second in a series about how I learned some of the most important lessons in life. For me many of those lessons happened while I was in the navy. That should be understandable because that was the first time I was away from home, still in my late teens but on my own out in the world away from the comfortable and secure surroundings I grew up in. This book covers the time period when I was still new in the navy, going to various schools before I would be of any real use. It's not really about the navy as much as it is about the people.
