The haunted dresser

I wanted to save this story for Halloween time,
So here it is:
I went to an estate sale back a couple months
Ago, in search of a dresser for our
Boys room.
I wanted to find a solid wood dresser that 
I could paint a lime
Green color.
Their room is brown, and lime green 
And I thought an old dresser
That was painted would be the perfect piece to make
The room complete.
I searched Craigslist and found two 
Estate sales just down the road from us...
I stopped at the first one and walked into
What I think had been an abandoned home.
It looked like there hadn't been anyone living there for 
A very long time.
It also looked like it had belonged to a hoarder.
The garage was jam packed full of anything and everything
You could ever want to fulfill your Pinterest dreams!
I first checked out the bedrooms
 and found exactly
What I was looking for....an old, solid wood dresser!
Ecstatic, I quickly ran to the lady
Who was running the sale
And asked how much it was
(There wasn't prices on anything).
She asked what I wanted to offer, and I said 
$10, figuring she would counter my offer....
But she didn't!
Next stop was that garage!
"Oh how I wish I had a truck" was exactly what I 
Thought as I carefully stepped over old furniture
That was begging me to
Take it home and
Pinterest the hell out of it!
I found a wooden garden bench and offered her $2,
And I also found two bookshelves and offered her $10 for the set....

I asked them if I could come back later to pick everything up
 With a neighbors truck...and they offered to drive it to
My house!

I paid for the items, and they followed me home.
Little did I know that along with that dresser came something else.
Not sure why, but as soon
As they uploaded that dresser onto my driveway, I no longer wanted it.
I did not want that thing in my house anymore.
All my excitement about painting it
Was gone...
And I even considered setting it out on the street with a 
"Free" sign. 
I have no idea why I had that feeling about the dresser.
But to make a long story short,
it never made it inside our
Home.
It went straight to the shed until I could get rid
of it....luckily, that week it was gone....onto the next home!

Was it haunted?
I think so.....
This is the garage at the estate sale....
