A Haunting In Loveland

A Haunting in Loveland as told by Kate Stotler

Around 1977 in Loveland, Ohio I moved into a house on the main drag of Loveland with my girlfriend, her Mom two brothers and a sister plus another friend along with her daughter. Four of the kids were under 13 and the rest of us women were over 18. This was a very large house with lots of rooms! The very 1st night I fell asleep on the couch downstairs ~ around 3am I awoke and was scared to death! Shaking and just felt like someone was watching me. I went and got into bed with our friend Patty and her little girl who was about 5 years old. Didn't sleep well the rest of the night. When we all were at the breakfast table my friend Vickie asked who came upstairs to use the bathroom last night around 2 or 3 in the morning she said whoever it was tromped up the steps and woke her up. We all said no one because there was a bathroom downstairs. She then told us that whoever it was went into the bathroom right beside what was supposed to be our room and she heard a click like the light was turned on but it never came on ~ then whoever it was stood in the doorway and watched her for awhile. She thought it was her Mom and rolled over and went to sleep! It was none of us from downstairs! We all dismissed it from our thoughts and didn't think much of the incident. But after the 1st night we would hear things all the time and I always felt like someone was watching me while sitting in the living room. I never moved upstairs in the bedroom up there ~ I stayed in Patty's room with her little girl since I was babysitting for her while her Mom worked nights. When Buddy my friends brother started school that year he had all kinds of kids come up to him and ask him if the house we were living in was really haunted. The little 5 year old girl told me and my friend Vickie that she would see a man every now and then walking down the stairs but when she would yell for him he would be gone!

This went on for about 6 months and we would have all kinds of strange things happen to us. Things would disappear to only reappear a few days later in a different room. We tried to find out what if anything had happened in that house but no one would tell us anything. We were cleaning the basement out one weekend when we moved a great big shelve to put upstairs ~ we found a door hidden but there was no key and the real estate agent had no idea the room was even there. We never opened the door and we moved right after that. The last day in the house I stayed by myself and was waiting for Vickie to pick me up. I decided to take a shower before we went out that night ~ while in the shower I heard the door squeak like someone was opening it and I yelled for Vickie but got no answer and again I could feel someone watching me!! I got out as fast as I could and didn't even dry my hair I got dressed and sat out on the porch waiting for Vickie to get there. When they wanted to clean the rest of the things out of the house I told them I was done and never going back there again!! I often wonder if the house is still standing ~ I should go by but I just stay away from that area!
