So you’re currently attending or will be attending the University of Iowa and you need a nice low cost place to live? Well we got the place for you. Currently the house is occupied by six members of the buckeyes baseball team, one hockey player, an older gentlemen named Tim and a 10 year old girl. The house will comfortably sleep nine tenants.
All the Iowa students will be letting their lease expire but Tim and child will be staying, indefinitely. A few things you should know before moving in. Tim likes to have control of the TV remote and will watch his shows at all hours of the day. He likes to wander the house and also has a thing for ladies undergarments. The young girl is generally very quiet and will keep to her room but sometimes likes to have a run around upstairs. Oh, and one more small detail. Tim and the young girl are dead.
“We’ve lived here over the past two years,” pitcher Aaron Smit said. “But over the past few months, we noticed things getting a little bit weird. We had a kid in here who thought he saw a ghost — a shadow in a form of a human.”
“We thought about how Taylor Zeutenhorst (roommate) said he saw a little girl in his bedroom,” Smit said. “There was a time in the morning where someone was slamming the door, and we heard sprinting up the stairs. Everyone assumed it was me, but I told them I was in bed.”
The tenants described a long list of strange events that had taken place. Objects being moved, TV channels being changed, doors slamming, strange footsteps and shadowy figures. Most perplexing of them all were two separate occurrences where women sleeping over had their underwear removed in their sleep, while wearing pants, later to be found in different rooms.
At one point a man had come by the house to take a tour and had mentioned that the lot used to be a funeral home in the early 1900s. After that the teammates called in an expert, the Paranormal Activity Support Team.
“We did an interview first,” group member Lacy Benter said. “We thought, ‘Is this for real? They might be yanking our chain.’ It was a group of college guys, after all. But we went there, and they were all excited about it; they were pumped. Everyone had a story.”
“We did find there are two spirits staying there,” group member Sandy Marler said. “We got information that there was an older, grandfather-like gentlemen and a little girl around the age of 10, but they were not related.”
When asked why the teammates didn’t try to cleanse the house of the spirits, Brian Niedbalski said, “I’m on Tim’s good side, I want to leave it that way.”
