When I was a child I saw a woman in (shadow form) in the upstairs window she had long straight black hair and a white gown. She appeared to be playing a piano.
I went to school in defuniak springs all my life and every time we would drive past this house i got an errie feeling i to say the black haired lady in the upstairs window but she was just standing there. I seen her many times and never thought nothing of it til now.
Every time I past that house I see the top window of the house the criteria open with no one living there
The house is currently listed on zillow for sale lol
I saw her too but I never seen her pl,saying the piano
