Another Ghost Story

Okay, it's time for another ghost story. This one takes place in Escondido, CA in a home where my sister and her family rented.

My sister told me that the thermostat was going crazy in the house. Every night it was turned up on high (somehow) and the house got really hot. She would get up and see the lever was up, and she would then turn it down. Then the strangest thing started happening. The front door would be unlatched and her 3 year old daughter would be down the street. Many days strangers would walk her daughter back to the house to "return" her because they found her down the sidewalk.

Now, this door had a latch at the top of the door, and there was NO way that her daughter could ever reach it to unlock it...even standing on a chair. Yet, it seemed to be always unlatched.

This is where it gets good, one day when my sister and her husband where in the mid section of the house, (a remodeled room) they were entertaining a couple and standing and talking. Her "daughter" walked in and went up to the woman and raised her hand to grab at her skirt. My sister yelled "No!" to her "daughter", so that she would stop. Well, the little girl then disappeared! It wasn't her daughter it was a ghost! Well, everyone thought my sister was out of her mind. So my sister went around to the neighbors and asked about the house. This is the story she got:

The house caught on fire and the mid section burned, tragically killing a 3 year old little girl. See, she was saying it was "hot" and was helping my niece "get out" of the house. My sister packed up and moved. It's sad that the little girl is bound to the home. FYI this ghost was solid and you couldn't see through her.
