I LOVE THESE STORIES!!! hehehehe
Some of the ones posted have sent chills down my back.
I have one story. I lived in the same house for the first 14 years of my life, then 2 years ago, my mom became disabled and had to stop working, so we lost our house and moved to the next town over (so my brother and I would be able to go to the same high school).
there's the backround! haha
So this house was a lovely little ranch. It had a broken built-in pool in the backyard, and an attached garage. It was really nice. Despite this, I never felt like I was home in that house. I always wrote it off to just being because I missed my old house/town/life.
Then weird stuff started happening.
The first thing that ever happened was that I was taking pictures and in one of the pictures, a white lacy "decoration" showed up on the wall. well we had NOTHING like that hanging on the wall and I couldn't find anything that would reflect something that looked like it. I eventually forgot about it.
My bedroom was on one side of the house, with the foyer into the house on the other side of my bedroom. Whenever I was walking from the kitchen to my bedroom (past the foyer/living room) at night, I'd get the WEIRDEST feeling and I would run and slam the door behind me - it litterally felt like something was following me.
We used to have 2 cats, so we were used to the noise of cats jumping around and running around, etc. and that's what all the little bumps and bangs sounded like. Then we realized, wait a sec. We don't have cats anymore. It sounded like someone just moving around the house.
My dad swears he would hear banging on the door at night - from the inside. So weird, I thought. But I tried not to let it get to me, cause I knew it would scare me too much.
Then one night I was lying in bed and I glanced at my mirror just in time to see a white figure go out my door. I had about 17 heart attacks.
at a garage sale we had one time, my mom was talking to a woman who babysat for the family who lived here about 30 years ago, and when my mom said that I was convinced the house was haunted the woman said "I'm sure it is," bought her stuff, and left.
Well, long story short, we got another house down the road (that felt like home the first time I set foot in it
). We moved in in April, and have had no more "disturbances."
My dad was talking to some neighbors from the other house, who informed us that back in 80s,
a woman was murdered by her husband/boyfriend in the foyer of that home. One of the neighbors that my dad was talking to was one of the first people at the house that night after the cops showed up.
I don't miss that house at all, and I'm just glad that I didn't hear that story until after I moved out of it!!
PS - strange how things work: when we first moved into our now-new house (haha), she asked where we moved from. We told her our old address, and she said "Wow. There's a lot of history in that house." my dad said "Yes, it's haunted." and she said "My sister-in-law (I think it was sister-in-law) was murdered there."
and our new house (That we're living in now) is a 90 year old farm house with a pretty large property, and I was SO scared that it was going to be haunted or something. but nothing's bothered us so far! haha
That was way long hahaha.
