From Jessica:

In 1996 I had heard about this haunted house in Miligan Florida, a very small town outside of Crestview. The story was told that you could drive by the house and the shutters on the upstairs windows would be open, and the next time you went by they would be closed.

I have always been interested in that sort of stuff, so I talked some of my friends into going out there.

The first night, we got there one of the girls got scared and wanted to leave so we did, but the shutters were open.

The next night, six of us went. We drove my truck three in the front three in the back. As we pulled up to the house, the very first thing that we noticed, was the shutters were shut.

We got out of the truck,with our flashlights in hand. We walked around the yard a minute trying to get up nerve, I guess.

Anyways we went on in the house. We walked around downstairs.There were these huge columns in the middle of every room, you could not evenfit your arms around them. We found the staircase. It was so narrow that it would be impossible for even two small children to walk side by side up them.

Although I have always been interested in this kind of thing, I had never done it. So, needless to say, I was getting a little spooked. I told my friends I would not be the first to go up nor would I be the last. I figured somewhere in the middle would be the safest.

As soon as we started up, all of our flashlights went out. That should have been a clue, right there, but we continue on up the stairs. When we got upstairs we could see pretty well because it was a full moon. We tried to light our lighters to see better but they would not stay lit. So we decided to leave.

But before we left my friend Mike wanted to open the shutters. There was no glass just the shutters. He tried to push them open with his hand but it was like they were glued. They would not budge. So he put his foot on them and pushed. Those shutters flew open, and he started to fly out the window after them. One of the other guys grabbed him and pulled him back in. Mike tore out of that house, with the rest of us right behind him.

When we got back to the truck, we look at Mike,he was white as a sheet. He said right when he put his foot up there something grabbed his ankle and tried to pull him out of the window. All six of us squeezed into the cab of the pickup.

The next morning we wanted to go see if the shutters were still open. Mike would not go.

Five of us went. The shutters were CLOSED!
