DR Elmore, how long have you lived in that apartment? Is it the first and only place you lived in NYC?
No, I lived on West 94th from December 1979 to July 15, 1980. The apartment was huge, five rooms, but it was very haunted and: every morning around 4:30am, my bedroom door would suddenly and violently fly open; I would hear voices and footsteps that creeped me out. I was terrified there alone whenever my roommate went off to her boyfriend's, which was most of the time.
On top of that, the landlord was insane and later jailed for putting a hit on a tenant, there were drug shootings on the corner, and every night, water would pour from the bathroom ceiling light fixture and neither the landlord nor drunk super would do anything.
