Staring Ghost
by Eric

Six years ago I moved into a three-bedroom house that my cousin had just moved out of. After a week or so, things started to happen. First I thought I could always see a little girl's shadow following my oldest daughter, who was 13. My second youngest daughter, who was nine at the time, slept in a room alone. There was always a strange presence in the room when we walked into it. She also owned a Firby, and every time at around 12:00 it start talking on its own, even when it was off.

Several times a week, when I left my bedroom door, I could always hear people talking, and I would see lights on my door, as if the TV was on. One night my eldest daughter was taking a nap at around 6:30. She suddenly woke up to see our dog barking at a corner. When she looked into the corner, she saw a man staring at her. A week later, I talked to my cousin, who lived in it before, and she said that one of her children that slept in my daughter's room when they lived there would wake up every night and and start screaming, "Stop looking at me!"

One night my youngest, a boy, crawled out of his crib and walked into the living room and just stared outside. I picked him up and put him back to bed. After awhile, lights started flickering on and off. So we just moved.
