2. In the Beginning, the Ghosts Were Kind and Benevolent
Before moving into the farmhouse, the Perron girls were five close sisters who were kind to each other. However, with their toys shifting around to different rooms when they weren’t looking, suspicions and accusations began to creep into their minds. The sisters started fighting vehemently with each other, and their mother had to intervene and tell them to stop. That’s when Cindy, the second-youngest sister, decided that she would share her toys with the kids who were visiting her in her bedroom and playing with her toys.
At first, the children believed that the ghosts that were obviously walking around their house were kind and benevolent, or at least harmless. The spirits served as playmates and even babysitters, and the children enjoyed their company. The girls even claimed that the ghosts tucked them in at night and kissed them on their foreheads. Cynthia said, “When we first moved into the house, for the first two months, there was a woman that came and kissed me every night on the forehead that I thought was my mother.” Andrea, her older sister, said, “Mom smelled like Ivory soap and this spirit smelled like flowers and fruit.”
