Many find the idea of ghosts laughable. Though I would challenge anyone to stay just one night
in the house on Javaes street.
Few know the story, history seems to pass in Brazil and people forget easily.
The house itself is over two hundred years old.
Rumours are easily related to such places but one hundred years ago the house was at the centre of the neighbourhood and probably housed a considerable sized family.
It´s been atleast forty years since the house has been abandoned and the last owner was not considered responsible for the haunting. Now "haunting" is a very broad word and can have many meanings, here it manifests itself in the form of sounds and shadows. To be specific the sounds are of people crying and the reason it has such appeal is the neighbours are literally woken out of deep sleep at 3.00am by this crying. On many occasions the police were called but the house was always empty and the crying had ceased before the police had opened the gate which was heavy and well locked up.
As a test one night some very sceptical men were asked to test their theory that there was "No such thing as a haunting". The two men camped inside the property even though they were asked to stay inside the house to prove there were no ghosts. By 12.30am they were lying on the other side of the property´s gate one of the men had broken his ankle. The men said they were attacked by ants, the neighbours however confirmed that the crying had begun earlier that night. And the house had made strange noises like kids running around over the wooden floorboards in there. The sceptical men who had stayed the night just dismissed the accounts to hide their cowardice. And when it came to explain how the ants had attacked there were no ant bites and both men had lesions from climbing and falling down from the security gate.
Months after this some children broke into the property one afternoon, and played around the outside of the house. They must have been there not more than half an hour when it was said they found the body of a child unscarred but lifeless. They ran out of there and told their parents. The parents went there with the police and found nothing where the body was to ahce been found the grass was long and erect showing nothing had weighed it down. ofcourse the kids were simply scolded and the incident forgotten. Though nobody liked going to the house and superstition fed whatever presense there really was.
The rumour that circulates the most is that during the house being abandoned a homeless man broke in and started living there. The house had been abandoned for sometime when this old hobo
went to live there. Anyway story goes the guy´s girfriend went there one night to visit him(yes this charming bum had a girlfriend) and when she went to the door she could see him through the window as if he was waiting for her. She opened the door greeted him and went to go to the kitchen, the man didn´t turn around. She walked back to him looked him in the eye and tried to get a response, he wasn´t responding. She ran out of the house and called the neighbour who in turn called the police and ambulance. The medics that arrived told the man´s girlfriend that he had been dead for more than twenty four hours. She didn´t believe it though for the homeless man wasn´t so old and notably she had found him on his feet standing in a position that would have made it impossible for him to be dead.
As the ambulance took the body and the police cleared off the woman stayed there on the steps crying. Police and ambulance workers leaving the scene said the woman had a small child with her who was also crying. The girlfriend of the man dismissed it as ridiculous and affirmed she hadn´t any children. Noone believes any of the story. But neighbours who live on the leftside and look into the property which faces the front door say in autumn at dusk they see the figure of a man through the stainglass door window pains standing as if waiting for someone.
On those nights the crying is the loudest. Rent is very cheap in that part of the neighbourhood. And few even know the tale of Javaes street.
