When we bought our first house, for the first year or so I would frequently awaken in the middle of the night to see this woman and this young girl standing near the bed just staring at us. Always the same two. We knew the house had been vacant for a couple of years -- tied up in an estate squabble -- before we bought it, and one reason it hadn't been vandalized was that the kids in the neighborhood thought it was haunted. We then learned that the wife had left with the kids, and the husband had died in a drunken stupor and wasn't found for several days. After about a year the woman and her girl stopped appearing. It was like they had accepted we were good caretakers for the house and left.
