      I lived in Somers Point, NJ back in the late 60's and I'm sure the home was occupied by some sort of spirit. I've always wondered if this house has ever been investigated for paranormal activity. Is there a way to find out?

      This house was actually divided into apartments at some point, and we lived in one half of the downstairs section. My bedroom was in the middle of a hallway between the living room and kitchen. I would often see a lady float down the hallway past my bedroom door. She looked young, maybe early 20's, and wore a black cloak type outfit. Although I never saw her face, I just knew that it was a woman. She never stopped or looked at me, just simply went down the hall. As far as I know, she never did anything else to alert us to her presence. Oddly, my little sister had said she had seen her, but only from my bedroom. My sister also did odd things during the time we lived there such as be sound asleep with her eyes wide open and once while she was asleep she got out of bed, walked into the kitchen and grabbed a steak knife. She then came into the living room with knife in hand, looked at me, then put the knife on top of the TV and turned the channel to static and turned the volume all the way up. She walked back into her room and went back to bed - sound asleep. Was the spirit trying to communicate through EVP? I remember one time I was in the basement getting my bike out to ride and all of a sudden I felt like someone was with me. Next thing I know I was freezing cold and could see my breath. I ran out of the basement into the yard - it was the middle of summer and hot outside.

      If that wasn't enough, the neighbors in the apartment upstairs and diagonal from us told my mom that they had visitors that swore they saw a ghost while they were there. The lady that lived above us used to tell us kids that she was a ghost and would haunt us if we were too loud playing. After we moved out, the people that took our place were friends with my mom. They had only been there a few weeks and asked my mom about anything "weird" ever happening while we were there. She said that we had spoken of a ghost, but nothing she ever saw. She said that her friend turned so pale it sent chills up her spine looking at her. They had friends stay over and used my old room - apparently they saw what I saw.

      I'm SURE that this place is, or was, home to a presence. I've been a believer since then and I honestly feel that someone over the last 30 years must have referred this place to a professional. I'd love to know if this has been investigated, and if not, it should be.
      I know the address, but I'll keep that private until I get asked by a legitimate person who might be able to shed some light.

      Thanks for any information/help!
