Robertson Road Revisted
My Granddaughter, Lauryn, is spending the summer with me. We have spent hours talking about the haunted houses I have lived in over the years. Lauryn is particularly interested in the house on Robertson Road. After looking at the collection of photos we took in the house she asked if the house was still standing and if we could go there. I told her that her Aunt and Uncle and went by the house about two months ago and yes, it was still standing. Her Aunt had actually gone into the house that night and broke her ankle upon leaving the house.
Last Friday, Lauryn and I had to make a trip which would take us close to the Robertson Road house. I suggested we go by the house on the way. I told her I would stop on the road if no cars were behind me and she could take a picture with her cell phone.
When we reached the house Lauryn begged to go into the yard for a closer picture. I had no interest in being that close to the house but since it meant so much to Lauryn I pulled over to the side of the road. We got out of the car and went into the front yard where Lauryn took three photos of the house.
The house is in bad condition now with some of the windows broken out. The wood is beginning to rot and the trees that were yards away from the house are now hugging the sides of the house. The carport has fallen in and rotten wood is stacked on the front porch.
While I stood there watching Lauryn take the photos I got a weird feeling that I needed to go into the house. I walked up to the front door, then over to the open window area. I felt compelled to at least lean into the house. Just as I did ice cold air rushed at me. The old familiar feeling of evil washed over me. I quickly grabbed Lauryn by the arm and we left. Some things are just better left alone.
