me and my friends sometimes hang out at the Old Stone House in Cashmere, Christchurch. The guy who built it was John Cracroft, and he also built the girls brigade building nearby. anyways i cant quite remembr the story behind it but i know that an indian servant of cracroft killed someone and burned them in the furnace. I had gone there bymyself at night because i used to live round the area, but nothing would ever happen, until the day before i moved to another area, and i went there at about 12.45 - 1am and sat there for a bout five minutes just waiting to get scared, nuthing happend so i went up to the door and knocked on it, like i always did and sat back down. about 2 seconds after i sat down i heard something knock from the inside of the door in the same "tune" as what i had done. i got pretty freacked out, but i was more curios so i hung round for a bit, then something caught my attention, it looked like on the top floor (3rd floor) in the middle window, there was somebody breathing up against it, causing like mist on the window that would get bigger and smaller, but the was nobody there, just the breath.
so on the upcoming weekend i convinced my friends to come with me there so they could see that it realy is haunted. we hung out for about 30 mins and we were gonna leave but i wanted so badly for them to believe me that i told bianca to go and knock on the door. she wouldnt do it so i did it, butwe were on the other side of the house, so it wasnt the front door that i had heard knock earlier. my plan was to kncok on the door they told me too, then nothing would happen, so i would go round the other side to the front door and hopefully what happened to me will happen again. anyways, i went up to the left door, which has an old light above it, and just as i went to knock it turned on. i steppd away from it and i was trying to see if it just had a sensor on it but it was too bright, so we were just talking about it and it just turned off. i went up too it, and saw there was no sensor, and i got someone else to walk up to the door, but it didnt turn on. i tried again, but nothing happend. we hung around for about 5 more minutes just talking about ow it could of happened, when i heard a quiet "pop" sound and saw the top three windows were open, and i told everyone, but they were like nah i think they wer like that wen we came. the windows were open like this

if u knw what i mean, looking at it from the side. we were all arguing about if the windows were opend or not wen i someone said they moved, everyone was staring at them for about 2 minutes, as they closed very very slowly. from that day everyone believes me lol. and also, later on i found out that were the mist was coming from, the 3rd floor, the was no floor there since renovations, so the person was standing on air.
