The Dowling house
Louisiana · United States · Cemetery
The little girl pinched the owner's arm while she was cooking, then threw a tomato off the table. She calls her name when she is in the kitchen.
Two are reported at this house at Logansport, Louisiana, and the accounts come from the family living in it.
The owner says a small girl pinched her arm while she was cooking, and then threw a tomato off the table. The girl calls her name when she is in the kitchen.
The son of the family describes a man with shaggy hair.
The tomato is the detail that lifts this entry. It is absurd, it is domestic, and it is exactly the kind of thing nobody would invent for a ghost story, which usually reaches for something more impressive.
What also comes through is the tone. Being pinched and having your name called while you cook is not described as frightening by the woman it happens to, it is described as an interruption.
The house is a private home.
