The Familiar Ghosts
by Michelle D.

I'm 18, and about a year ago my best friend was having a sleepover for her birthday. We're TOTALLY in to the paranormal stuff. Her mom hought her a Ouija board for her birthday. We (me, her, her little sis and her friend, and three more of our friends,) played with it in the graveyard right across from her house. I knew she was pushing the planchette, but she said that she felt the spirits pushing her hand. I was, like, whatever. We went to her room and I asked, "Whatever spirit is pushing this, can you please play a note on her piano?" and it went to "yes". So we went down to her living room and we were fooling around, but then I heard a song come from her old snowglobe. I said, "Shhhhh!!" and then they all shut up. We all heard the song play. So we were kinda freaked out. 

The reason I call this story "The Familiar Ghost" is because my friend told us all about how a doctor died in her house, and how something happens often. We talked about that stuff for a while and then we put a movie in. We were watching the movie and they were being SUPER loud. I was tired so I was being quiet. Then I heard very loud footsteps coming toward the door to our living room. I thought it might be her mom and dad telling us to shut up, so I put the blanket over my head and acted like I was asleep. But the footsteps grew louder and I knew they were too loud for human feet. I got a chill up my back as they stopped in front of that very door of her living room. Then my friend was like, "Oh my god!! Did you just here those footsteps??" I told them how I heard them while they were being real loud. Just as I ended my story about the footsteps, someone or something pounded real loud on the door. We all jumped on the couch at the same time. All night we sat there scared, whispering. We were very quiet. We sat there in silence for at least a half hour, while we heard the footsteps come up and down and over and just basically come from everywhere. like there was more then one. After a while we started to hear people talking. It sounded like they were in so much pain. I remembered how the doc used to live there, and how this house was where his patients and him lived. 

After about an hour, we decided to face our fears and go upstairs. So we all RAN up stairs! We went to her room and talked a while, but then when we thought everything was gonna be alright cause they finally stropped moving and talking, the door to her room BLEW open! We all screamed! The rest of the night, we weren't scared because we knew they were done.... for now.
