Chuck's Visit

About 13 years ago, I lived out in the country near Ashland City. The guy I was dating at the time was recently divorced. We decided to take a canoe trip down Sycamore Creek but I didn't have any old shoes to wear so he let me borrow a pair of old work boots. I didn't ask who they belonged to but they fit pretty well. We had a lovely time on the creek.

Later that night when we went to bed- I put the boots on a rug in the bathroom. I woke up late that night after having a dream that the boots were walking into the room and over to the bed and then a man materialized into them. I could see his features very well. He was tall and thin, with brown hair, a moustache and a very nice smile. I opened my eyes and there he was standing over me. I screamed for my boyfriend, "GET UP THERE'S A MAN IN THE HOUSE!"

He got a gun and ran through the house searching. When I told him what happened and described the man I saw, he turned very white and then told me a very sad story about how he had taken care of his ex-brother-in-law until his death. Those were his boots I wore. He pulled out a picture of "Chuck" and the man I saw was indeed him. I later married that boyfriend and got to know Chuck pretty well because he would check in on us occasionally, ringing bells, slamming doors, turning on the radio (even though the button was in the off position). I was never scared and would just say "Okay, Chuck we know your there...now cut it out!" and he would usually quit his antics.
