Answer 1

wow i have never heard about this one b4 but the stories seem so interesting i wish people said more :D

Answer 2

I have a grandfatherclock and my husband died last year.  The clock did stop at the time of his death.  I know it sounds weird but it really did happen . Im only 40 and my husband was just 44 so its not like we believe in some old tales.  It took me months to try to set the clock again.  But I finally did and it works still but I will always rememebr that the clock stopped.   No one was in the house at the time, there was still room on the weights and no mechanical reason for it to stop. I never had problems with the clock before this and never again since.  It really really happened  

Answer 3

Someone said that every midnight he or she well get up with hair straighten because of the grandfather clock's chime. They know that ghosts will come out.

Answer 4

It's just a story. I have read it on a book when an owner of a grandfather clock dies, the grandfather clock will die also even if it is fixed it will not run. It is also haunted that everytime it will chime every midnight, someone will come out from the grandfather clock or all ghosts will be awaken.
