Haunted

Either there is a ghost haunting me in this house or I am going crazy. Over the past couple weeks I have been hearing odd noises late at night. And not your typical, old creaky house noises either. One day I was trying to get to sleep and I heard footsteps on the ceiling above our room. Even though I was terrified beyond belief, the next day I convinced myself that it must’ve been my imagination.

Then about a week after that Seba and I were both in bed and I heard a tapping noise on the window. I sat straight up (of course Seba didn’t move, he could sleep through a hurricane) and froze. About five minutes of me not moving passed, and I finally relaxed. I thought it may have been somebody just walking by (our window overlooks the street). But just as I let my guard down, I heard the noise again. This time it sounded like somebody’s hand was pushing on the glass as if they were trying to break the pane. It was a very distinct noise, not at all as if it were an accident. I definitely felt as though someone were trying to enter.

The day after that, very late at night, around 4 in the morning, when Seba was already sleeping and I was at the computer, I heard the doorknob turning to our bedroom. I thought, “Well that’s weird, it must be my imagination again because I’ve been so on edge.”  And then the doorknob creaked again as if it were turning and as if that weren’t bad enough, the windchime that we have hanging next to the door rang a little bit. I screamed out, “Seba!” and he jumped out of bed and looked outside the door but there was no one. Besides, if there would’ve been a physical presence near our room the floor creaks so loud there’s no one anyone can get near without warning us.

Today I went to the back room to put some laundry away, and next to the back room is a door that’s always kept locked because it leads to the upstairs which is uninhabited and completely detoriorated. If there are ghosts, I would bet my life that they are living upstairs because that place could definitely be haunted. It certainly looks as if it were straight out of a horror movie. Anyways, when I went back to put the laundry away, the door next to the room I was in suddenly began banging back and forth. I swear, it was like something out of Poltergeist, the movie. I dropped my laundry, sprinted back to the room and began bawling my eyes out. I was that scared.

I’m not a person who spooks easy, nor do I have an overactive imagination. I mean, its possible that I’ve become really on edge from all these strange happenings but I know what’s real and what’s not. These events are not all in my head. And I’m FREAKING OUT!

  1. There are stories that my mom or other family members told me about when I was little, and they thought I used to see ghosts. There was someone I saw in my house in Delaware once too, who stood in my closet, then disappeared. It’s pretty scary, but maybe they don’t mean any harm. Try talking to them out loud or something.

    But keep your windows locked, if it sounds like someone’s trying to break into your window, definitely wake Seba up next time! Ghosts usually can’t commit breaking and entering.

  2. Ack! I’ve had a couple of scary occurrences, but nothing like that.

    Once when I was down in the laundry room I heard someone walking upstairs. I was home alone and both doors were locked. Eventually I figured out that it was my cat. He only has three legs and tends to limp along when he locks. He’s also heavy and makes more noise than most cats when he’s walking.

    The other time was after I moved into a new apartment. I kept hearing scratching on the ceiling. It was very eerie. I’d only hear it at night and usually only when I was in bed trying to sleep. I looked outside, but there didn’t seem to be anything on the roof. Finally I pinpointed a spot on the ceiling it might be coming from in the living room. I banged on the ceiling with a broom and heard something scamper away.

    After a few weeks whatever it was dug through the ceiling. I called the apartment office and complained. I think it was a squirrel or some other kind of wildlife, but it certainly sounded much worse when I first heard it.

    Of course yours could be something completely different or something completely unexplainable. Hopefully wildlife or something equally mundane is causing the issue and not ghosts!
