Skinwalker Spirit
by Ammie

For all my life i have lived in a house in Southern California. It is modern built, and about 20 years old. We are the second owners of the house; the first owners moved out for unexplained reasons. The layout of the house is slightly bizarre: the stairs lead up to the north, then make a 180 degree angle and then you walk up the rest of the way south, then the stairs stop and to the direct left is my room (countless times I have nearly fallen down the stairs).

Ever since I can remember, there have been paranormal activities in my house. Because the stairs end at my doorway, I have a clear view down to the stairs. When I was young (age 3-8), I remember lying in my bed and feeling a presence. I would sit up in my bed and look down the stairway and I would see the following: it was a man, horribly mutated. I can really only describe him as a hybrid of a wolf or coyote and a human. He was like a werewolf, and I was terrified of him. He had mangy tufts of fur all over him, in a black brown coloring, hollowed out gray-blue glowing eyes, a pushed-up long snarling snout (very bumpy like an old dog's), him hunched down on all fours just ripping up the carpet and charging up the stairs running at my doorway, then bursting into mist and vanishing. Then the process would start all over.

I do, however, remember getting enough courage and curiosity to get out of bed at absurd hours at night and early morning to sit by my doorway and watch the werewolf man run up the stairs. He did this for years until I started to close my door at night. I haven't seen him since. I used to pass it off as having an overactive imagination that I really was absentminded and would remember placing my (example) hairbrush on my dresser, then having it turn up in the kitchen a few hours later.

Not until recently, after talking to a friend about a few of my basic incidences, did they suggest that I may have a spirit in my home. The after telling him that story, he came to the conclusion that I may have a skinwalker spirit trapped in my house. The only thing I am confusion and not convinced on is that I was always told that skinwalkers were evil, and this spirit has resided in my home for almost 15 years and yet it has never laid a finger on me... Hopefully he never will...
