Short description

This paranormal adventure is based on a true story. It was 1979 and I was just nine years old when my family and I moved into a beautiful modern ranch house. It was new and bright and it looked very normal from the outside ... It has taken me nearly thirty years to gather the courage to share this story.

Extended description

I was nine when we moved into that fancy new house. A modern rancher, it sat on five acres with a lighted riding ring and an in-ground pool! It was delightful and frightening all at the same time, but it was also out in the middle of nowhere! So when a little boy wandered into my yard and asked me to be his friend, I was thrilled.
I didn't understand why the adults acted like he was invisible. My parents started calling him imaginary and my sister was just plain rude.
So why did he just accept it like it didn't matter?
"Adults don't see me," he'd said, as though that explained everything.
It was all the more confusing when I saw his photograph hanging on our neighbour's wall and learned he was their grandson ... and that there was no way he could possibly be my friend.

He'd been killed by a speeding dump truck four months earlier.
For the ghost hunter in all of us, Hauntingly Familiar is a story out of my past. Come back with me to 1979, when admitting you were ‘haunted’ meant you had to be crazy.
