Linda -
I remember that story you speak of. Telly was on a talk show one night (I've forgotten which one), and my parents and I listened to him talk about giving a ride home to a man one evening. If memory serves, I believe the man left some artifact, possibly his wallet (I could be wrong) in Telly's car. Telly, through some circumstances, managed to eventually find out that the gentleman had died some time before.
(Pardon me if I haven't replicated the story verbatim: it was a long while ago, and it fascinated and frightened my mother as well.)

I lived in a haunted house next to a cemetery. The house was very old and at one time had an upstairs porch. One night I was going upstairs and saw the figure of a woman in a grand dress pass by, supposedly on her way to the porch. I heard the door open and shut and only then did I finish going up the stairs. After that, my parents took out the door and put in a window but I still occasionally saw the figure at the window. I have also felt a very warm hand on my back while I was sleeping in a bedroom very close to that porch. I was never scared and it was always a topic of conversation.
