Plagued by Spirits
by Heidi

I grew up in a haunted house and had many frightening experiences. When I was five or six, my family moved into a very old house with wooden floors and an attic room. We rented, for we only needed to stay there until the house we were building was finished. Needless to say, it was haunted and it was concentrated in my bedroom and in the attic room. I am 32 now and I remember it as if it was yesterday. I believe it was a house near Adlei Stevenson High or elementary school (I don't remember) in Pennsylvania, in or around Plum. it started out with voices that sounded like tongues or overlapping voices and rappings on the wall.

It did not scare me until I addressed it and acknowledged it was there, then all hell broke loose. Something would sit on my bed at night. I could feel the weight. Also, it once grabbed me under the covers and it would yell my name in my ear and rap on the headboard. It was as if it wanted to disturb me on purpose. For some reason, I would get ill all the time until I moved out of the house. I would run to sleep in my parents' room nightly and some orb would follow me into my parents room and float over me.

One night, instead of an orb, I saw an apparition of a man - an old grandpa-like man - in a tweed hat/jacket '50s-type of thing. (I want to also note my mother experienced frightful things in this house as well ad as today is too scared to tell me about it.) It all ended (almost) when we finally moved. We bought a nice house in Murrysville and all bad haunting stopped except the sitting on my bed part. That continued. One of the entities followed me. That continued, but I think that was a friendly ghost just watching over me in a protective way, for as soon as I reacted badly to it, it stopped sitting on my bed, but through the years it allowed me to know it was still there, like the night before I left for college it rearranged the living room furniture and it also would move things around or make things disappear, but on the most part it left me completely alone. It even followed me to college. I never herd of a ghost hanging around a person this long. In my new house, I also saw the spirits of my dead dogs and I had another evil entity that attacked me and placed me in the hospital - but that's another long story!
