She Came With the Antique Trunk

Sometimes ghosts are thought to be attached to objects. This seems to have been the case with an antique trunk that my Tío Larry bought, which ended up being haunted by the ghost of a little girl. After buying the trunk at a garage sale, my Uncle found out that the previous owner had killed his kids.
After he brought the trunk home, my Tío's daughter kept telling him that there was a little girl in her room and that the girl wanted to play with her. This came as no surprise to my Uncle, who didn't think much of it. Kids that age often had imaginary friends; it didn't seem to be too out of the ordinary. Sometimes he would walk by and hear his daughter carrying on conversations with herself. Once when he was alone in the house, my Uncle passed his daughter's room and noticed a rubber ball bouncing out of the corner of his eye. As he turned to look at it, it immediately stopped bouncing and rolled in his direction. On other occasions, he noticed that the porcelain dolls kept in a high cabinet were often taken down or moved. His daughter was too little to have reached them or have even found a way to take the dolls down. On another occasion, my Uncle was shaving and saw a a little girl in the mirror behind him. When he turned around, no one was there. He also claims to have seem her running across the rooms, dancing or playing. She was always wearing white and she moved very quickly. My Tío's girlfriend had also seen the little girl.

Some people are more sensitive to ghosts than others, and my Uncle Larry seemed to be one of them, but apparently he didn't have the charisma to hold on to that little girl. After a period of time, he stopped seeing her. After mentioning this to his girlfriend, she told him that she had seen the little girl in her own house. I guess ghosts can be attached to people, too.
