The house in South Euclid, Ohio, had been on Telhurst Road since the early years after World War I. It was a Sears Modern Home, a mail-order house popular before the Great Depression. Nobody lived in the house long, and, during the years of 1967 to 1975, Lisa Falour discovered why.
“The house had already had numerous owners and changed hands often,” Lisa said. “It always felt creepy to me.”Repairs were seemingly endless; especially the roof. It always leaked. But what bothered Lisa’s family most was the cold.“It was impossible to keep the place warm enough in winter, and Ohio winters by Lake Erie are deadly nasty,” she said.
“The family room was the kitchen, as it was usually the only warm place in the whole house. Even when the living room chimney was lit, what little heat we had ran up the flue.”The cold continued in Lisa’s bedroom; it was the coldest room in the house and she usually did her schoolwork in the kitchen. “I spent quiet evenings at the kitchen table, doing my homework. It was impossible to study in (my room),” she said. But from the kitchen, she could see unwelcomed visitors – black human shapes punched into the fabric of the dimly lighted dining room. “I constantly saw shadow people walking around in the dining room while I sat at the kitchen table,” she said.
”They were normal sized and silent, and though usually out of the corner of my eye, when looked at straight, they would just quietly move on. It wasn’t a trick of the eye.” When she turned on the dining room light, the brightness drove these shadows from the room. “They annoyed me, but it’s hard to know what to do about such a thing,” Lisa said. “I spoke to my mother about the shadow people, and she just calmly said, ‘well, maybe the place is haunted. If they don’t hurt you, don’t worry about them too much.’” But Lisa had other things to worry about. She also saw a door in the dining room – a door that wasn’t there.
