Harsens Island man shares ghosts

Bob Kowalski said he used to wake paralyzed with fear when he lived at 177 William St.

"Quite often I used to wake up pinned to the bed, and it felt like cold hands to my throat," he said. "I'd be in complete terror."

After hearing a psychic on television describe similar experiences as a haunting and consulting with family members who, after nearly 10 years since living there, confessed similar experiences, Kowalski decided to get the house checked out.

But because the place is a rental home and normally a source of income, he's auctioning on eBay.com the chance to spend a night in the house. He's had three such auctions, and a fourth was to start Tuesday night.
