House of Ghosts
by Anonymous
My family and I live in a two-story house, and since I was a little girl I have always been afraid of it. When I was little, I could see figures swirling around in the dark, or feel eyes upon me. Of course, my parents just thought I was being kid with "monsters in the closet" syndrome. It wasn't that.
When I was 15, a lot of weird things have happened in this house that couldn't be explained. There is a large mirror that is placed against the wall in the living room upstairs. One night I had gotten up to get a drink, and when I came back, I couldn't see my reflection in the mirror. It was dark in the mirror, but was scared me to death was the image of a white, thin creature. It had black, soulless eyes and did not even appear human. It seemed like it was reaching out for me. I dropped my drink and ran into my parents' room.
Another incident is when my friend spent the night. She woke me up. I was in a deep sleep. She was asking me if someone was in the house besides my family. I looked at her strangely and said, "There's no one here besides my family and you." That is when it happened again. The sound of children's laughter could be heard, as well as footsteps running up and down the stairs. (This still happens to this very day.) Sometimes we hear children crying, mostly when we change the house (new wall paper, or painting).
When my mom was making dinner for Christmas, I asked her if I could have a cookie from the cookie jar. She said no. So I sighed and just sat there wishing I could have a cookie. While my mom had her back turned, I saw the cookie jar slide form one end of the counter to the other. And the lid was moving as if someone was opening it. I shrieked and told my mom, and when she looked over, she saw the cookie jar on the other end of the counter, and the lid was tilted.
One night I was talking to my boyfriend on the phone and I had turned al the lights out. I was getting sleepy. I was about to say goodbye to him when something from the loft in my room jumped down and landed on two feet. It was too big to be an animal and too small to be human. And I could tell from the outline of the figure, that it was looking over its shoulder, looking at me. When this thing had jumped down, it made a thump noise. My boyfriend had heard it and asked me what it was. I turned over on my side and closed my eyes.
There have been so many incidents with ghosts that we had to have a priest come down and bless our house. Most of the things that happen in our house is moving objects, either in front of our eyes or things that turn up missing and we find them in places we'd never put them:
- Mirrors that fall over and break right when we're about to walk past them
- Vases and small statues that break.
- Eerie noises and scratching sounds; often times breathing.
- Foul smells and odors that appear from nowhere.
- Warm and cold spots.
We mostly find them in my room. We rarely have any good incidents with good ghosts its mostly bad ones.
