Something Was There
by TanninBeauty

I was in my teens and I was home with my mom. We had just got back from visiting my dad. He had a stroke. We had just moved in this house; I guess we had been there for about a week or two. I was on the phone when my mom went to bed. She told me goodnight and I had gotten off the phone and headed for bed myself. As I was lying in my bed, my mom yelled at me and said that I had left the light on in the spare bed room, which I hardly ever went in, and I wasn't in there that night either. As I told her that I wasn't in there, we both got really scared that someone was in the house. Our rooms joined so we both got up from our beds and went to the room that the light was on in, and opened the door and the light when out as soon as the door open.

It didn't take me long until I was out in the yard screaming at my mom to hurry so we could leave. As we were pulling out of the drive, the light was back on once again. That really scared me. I never wanted to go back in the house, but I really didn't have much of a choice in that matter. But it only happened again when my brother had come home for a visit. It was like the sprit had a sense of humor and was letting us know that he was there. He would hide things under things and move them to a different room. And after we all went to bed, I would always hear him walk from that room with his feet dragging the floor and I never heard him walk back. I had asked my mom so many times if she had gotten up, but she always said that it wasn't her. We knew that this sprit was a nice one and we really didn't mind sharing the home with him.
