Invisible Friends
by Bethie S.

My mom and dad live in a house in Modesto, California. This happened in 2007 and 2008. It started with my brother, who is just 4 years old. He started by seeing a little girl sitting in his daddy's lap in the middle of the night. For the next couple of months, he slept between mom and dad every night. Then he crawled into bed with my younger sister. Eventually, he started to play with this little invisible girl. He also had times he was scared about it and cried. He also said that the little girl cried in his room at night time. He said her parents were gone.

Not long ago, he said there is now another little girl. It started to get creepy when one night my brother went to my parents' room and my mother saw my brother and she thought I was standing there too. She blinked her eyes and realized it was a child that she had never seen before. Then it was gone. My mom checked on us other kids and all were sleeping soundly. This really upset her.

Then it got worse when I was sick one night and mom put me in another room to be closer to the bathroom. Well, my dad was in bed and saw me walking, and behind me thought he say my little brother walking. My mom said, no, he is sound asleep in bed. My dad got up and checked and, sure enough, there he was sound asleep. Now my dad was freaking out.

I hadn't seen or heard anything. But last week I heard a baby cry coming from the corner of my brother's room. My mom heard it too. And she knew my brother always said that the baby cries there. My brother sees this little girl so often, we had thought it was an imaginary friend. Once others of us in the family saw and heard things, we all believed we were being haunted. My parents will ask a friend to come over and bless the house. My mom is very stressed out about all of this. Me too. I do feel safe in my room. The people who lived there before us never saw or heard anything, although they did often feel watched. We found baby footprints, which scared us more. We have a paranormal group working with us to help make our house not haunted anymore.
