I know this might be a little off for some people. I know lots of people that do not believe in such things. But I have a piano that is haunted. I have had it for almost 10 years now, and has moved 2 places since I have had it. So I know its not the house thats haunted.

It is a W. G. Eavestaff&Sons victorian small upright. I am guess it was made 1860s to 1900ish for guesstamate it. Has candal arms on the front and original ivory keyboard, with a decorated carved walnut case. It was restored before i bought it with new strings felts pins pin block. I love playing and teaching with it. But there is a uncertain spookyness the piano holds to it.

I bought it from a antique store that was going out of business. They seemed glad to be selling it since the business went bust. Well I had it for about a month in my music room when I started noticing things about it. I always leave the fall board closed. Then lately when I came into the room, it would be open. I live alone, and no one ever goes in there without me there... After a few times within a week of it doing this by itself...I decided to leave it open...!!!

A few months later, I was re painting my hallway downstairs with a friend of mine. I left to go up stairs to get something when she heard it. It sounded like piano music, but no tv or radios where on. When I came down the steps she was coming up frantic. She told me to stop and listen...but I heard nothing.
When she told me what happened I didnt really know what to think... I took her into the music room, after I played music on the first 2 pianos and went to the upright...I thought she was going to cry, she said thats the sound of piano she heard.
Mind you...I never told anyone about it being haunted or my encounter with it before. She didnt come to my house for a while after that.
Since then a few times coming downstairs...I would think I would hear muffled music, like Schubert, but tried to ignore it.
I had a paranormalist I heard about that was suppose to be really good at this sort of thing, and had her come to my house to see if it was my house. When I showed her the music room, she was instantly drawn to the piano, having not told her anything specific.
She said that there was a young boy attached to it, she said that he died during world war 1. Once I finally told her my long story with my history of it, she was certain this was the cause. Also saying my old house had something else which is another story. But that is my story of my haunted piano.

SO has anyone else ever had any encounters with this I will post a pic of my old piano soon if anyone would like to see it?

I believe it. I grew up in a haunted house and lived in another one for a few years after my husband and I got married. I wouldn't be running anywhere frantic if my friend's piano played itself, I would have just sat there and listened. After all, "ghosts were people too" LOL.

My piano isn't haunted, but I got a U2 LP at the flea market last year and my husband thinks there is some residual psychic energy attatched to it from a former owner.

Time to call Sylvia Browne.



Seriously though, if that happened to me, where the lid became open after I closed it, that thing would be on Craigslist toot sweet!

I lived with a ghost in an old sea captains house in Swampscott, MA years ago.
He/she never played my piano, but did scare the heck out of my poor dog, and used to throw incense burners across the room.

As long as it doesn't harm anything, what's not to like?
