The two of us still have a wood-burning oil furnace in our basement, plus when it isn’t cold enough to turn on the oil oil furnace, we use the wood-burning oil furnace, then our living room is also in the basement, plus we can see the wood oil furnace from the living room.
The two of us were down there enjoying television 1 evening, plus my son started screaming.
The oil furnace was throwing shadows on the walls. When my son saw the shadows, he began crying. He thought we had ghosts. He pointed at the frightening ghost that was trying to get to him, although he didn’t listen to my explanation. He told myself and others I didn’t see the ghost, although he did. I took him upstairs plus put him in the shower plus then to bed. He felt more secure when he got under the covers plus away from the door. It took myself and others almost a month to convince him that everything was good in the basement. The two of us had to take him down there plus let him see how the flames of the oil furnace caused shadows. I showed him how the flames would reflect on the mirror that was in there, plus cause shadows in the room. He watched for a while plus then turned to his dad. He said he knew there were no ghosts near the oil furnace. He just had to convince his dad they weren’t real. It wasn’t difficult to get him to go into the basement the next day, but I didn’t notice he wasn’t going near the oil furnace wall. He said he just didn’t adore the mirror we had in there plus asked his dad to take it down.
