Enid House
The house was built in 1910 and changed hands a few times
before the Johnson Family acquired it in 1956. At that time, Dr. & Mrs. Howard
Johnson and their daughter, Dr. Jeanne Johnson, lived in the home. They had
another daughter, Jayne, that was Jeanne's twin, but she was married and had a
family and did not live in the home, however spent much time there.
Dr. Johnson was the first of the family to pass away and then Jeanne, and then
Mrs. Johnson, whom the family called Granny. Among the family, the house is
known as "Granny's House". Several of the family members claim to have heard and
seen things in the house that cannot be explained.
In 1996, Jayne's step-granddaughter and her family moved into the home. There
were several instances where someone was seen walking by on the upstairs
landing, but when you went to look, there was never anyone there. When the
family first moved in, they heard doors banging and such coming from upstairs
quite frequently, then after a while it stopped. Footsteps were sometimes heard
over the baby monitor and there was never anyone there when that was checked
out.
The most interesting story is as follows: an 18 month old child was sitting on
the bed in her room, which was formerly Jeanne's room. Keep in mind that Jeanne
had passed away long before. She suddenly looked up at the doorway and said,
"Hi, Nana Jayne," as if someone had just walked into the room. There was no one
there. But Jeanne and Jayne were identical twins and if the child had seen
Jeanne, she would assume it was Jayne, not knowing any different. Another time
the same child, a couple of years later, woke up in the night claiming that
someone had sat on her bed and woke her up and she didn't want to sleep in there
anymore.
There has been sobbing heard on a couple of different occasions, and of course,
when it was checked out, nothing could be found. Later it was learned that
Jeanne had had a fiancé that had been killed in a car accident and she had spent
a significant amount of time sobbing over him. For a period of about a year the
house has been unoccupied and is having work done. While a relative of the
former occupant was in the house doing some repair work, he claims to have heard
noises and voices upstairs. One evening, the mother of the former occupant had
gone there to get something out of the house and she heard banging upstairs and
yelled, "It's just me - I'll be gone in a minute," at which time the banging
stopped.
No one in the family thinks there is a negative energy or being in the home,
however, on a couple of instances, there have been some feelings that weren't
exactly friendly. The former occupants are planning to move back in when the
work is done and wanted to have it checked out "just to see" what kind of
evidence could be gathered. So the family contacted GHOULI to investigate. The
investigation turned up an EVP - electronic Voice Phenomena, which is a voice
other then the people there caught on tape - and a possible video. You can read
more about these things on the Investigations page - Wilson House.
