Do you have a good ghost story or haunted house story to relate?

I don't have one that I have made up or that really was a good ghost story but I do have one when I was asked to help give a blessing to a house and thus remove a ghost from it. I was in the Mapleton 4th ward and there was a house that was fairly new that was built along the highway. It was built by one family and then they moved from it and a single elderly man moved into it. A few weeks after he had moved in the Bishop and I were at the church one tuesday evening just after out Bishopric meeting had ended when this fellow came in and asked us to use the priesthood to remove some evil spirits from the house. I for one didn't believe him even though I am perfectly aware of many instances in church history where spirits both good and evil were seen by members of the church. I guessed we were past that point but Bishop knew that it would be best to go and asked me as his first counselor to go and assist with the blessing. I did so and we went and gave the house a priesthood blessing. I have seldom passed that house since without remembering that experience. It was needed and the man was then able to live there for some time without further incident from what I am aware.
