Though some part of it was changed. But the design remains. They said, that apart from their family, there are some more unseen residents in the house. His son was in the living room and he saw his sister standing in the corner facing the wall where the telephone is located. He started talking knowing that he is not alone, but he was waiting for a response and when he glanced to the corner he saw no one. He asked his parents if his sister is at home, but he learned that she was gone since morning and not returned yet. He was confused because no one has a long hair in the family aside from her sister. He let it pass and decided to forget about what he just experienced. Then after sometime, he saw her again on the doorway, about to go inside the room. He followed her and found nobody. At this time he told his parents and siblings about what he saw. And he is not the only one who had an experience seeing the white lady.
