I always thought our house was haunted, I hadn’t thought about for awhile considering I don’t live there anymore, but my younger sister has had a few things creepy happen to her so I don’t feel as crazy. I’ve also had a cousin hear things before too along with my sister, so I’m quite certain we have a friend. Note: I do not think this spirit or whatever it is, ever had malicious intent.
With me, i was 9/10 years old & when it all started I moved to the top floor of the house (where my sister moved into). My brother & I actually did not do well moving to that floor, we always had a separate room from our parents growing up, but we had a really uneasy feeling when moving up there.
We had 2 separate rooms across from each other with a bathroom in between. We ended up sleeping together for awhile because of how uneasy we were.
There wasn’t proper air filtration either when we first moved up there, so it smelled funny. We always used to tell each other the smell smelt like death. The way my room was set up, I could see directly into the bathroom as it had no door and I could straight into the huge mirror across from the sink and toilet.
I swear, I used to see a dark figure in there. It wouldn’t do anything, I wouldn’t hear anything, but I sometimes would see a shadow.
I was a weird kid, so instead of necessarily being scared, I would be kind and speak to “her” before bed. I was quite lonely when moving into this house & didn’t have many friends, so why not make friends with a shadow entity?
I always thought of dark spirits or ghosts being trapped, so I would talk to her. I just had a feeling it was a girl. I gave her a name, but since this was so many years ago I don’t remember the name I had given her.
Once my brother and I finally settled down in our new house, I made friends and was doing more things, I kinda forgot about my friend.
But there were quite a few instances where I felt like I was being watched, or out of the corners of my eyes I would see a shadow figure, mainly looking like my mom. I’ll never forget the time when I was sitting at the kitchen table doing something, and I saw my moms shadow from the corner of my eye, or what I thought was my mom, hiding behind the fridge.
I started laughing at her and called out to her, thinking she was playing a game with me, but as soon as I turned towards the fridge I saw nothing, and I heard her call out from her bedroom asking what I wanted. I still vividly remember that shadow.
Soon the top floor was going under construction, mainly due to the fact the heating and AC wasn’t working, so my brother and I were shoved into a room on the second floor by our parents room.
Nothing weird had happened until my sister was born and turned around 3, Thats when I started noticing really weird things that would happen when she was sleeping. I would sneak out of the bedroom once my parents fell asleep and go into the living room and stay up late every night watching George Lopez and Degrassi.
Not much really happened with me, but I would randomly see weird things happen to my sister. There were times she would just “wake up” and walk around, but she’d still be somewhat sleeping. I wouldn’t necessarily call it sleepwalking because she did see somewhat coherent and anything I’d say go back to sleep, she would.
She’d also have a habit of talking more in her sleep as she got older and as we shared a bed, I’d hear her talk about McDonald’s, or other random things she’d like, I paid no mind. I started to get creeped out more when one night I go to use the bathroom and she’s curled up in a tight ball on the floor sobbing her eyes out, I go to caress her to see if it was a nightmare or what had happened, and she shot up so fast and said in the coldest voice, “I’m fine, I’m going back to sleep now”. I ended up just going to sleep with her that night, because it scared the living shit out of me.
Another time I was in bed with her, on Skype with friends on my laptop, and she shot up out of bed, looked at me, and said, “Help me” and proceeded to pass back out. Both my friends on call and I were scared, they ended up staying up with me for most of the night because of how unsettled I was.
Soon after, I had my grandmother help me bless the house, and those instances significantly decreased, but I still chalked it up to my imagination. There were a couple of other weird instances with my sister, as soon as she hit kindergarten she had an absolute fascination with ghosts and was convinced we had a ghost in the house.
My dad watched a lot of horror movies growing up, so I just presumed she was just taking onto what my dad enjoys too. But I did find it odd how fearless she was, but somewhat proud because I was a little bitch growing up lol.
One day I came out to the living room after her first day at Christian class and she had her book open, a ton of candles lit, and was chanting for the spirit in the house to come forward. It was broad daylight, but I was still very unsettled.
Another time my family just came back from a trip overseas and visited my grandfathers grave. My mom and sister came to greet me and she was so excited to see me, and our dog sophie came inside the room to greet them, stopped immediately, hair sticking up & teeth baring at nothing in the corner. The blinds were closed as well, so it wasn’t an animal outside, and she is the most lovable pup when seeing people, so I don’t think it was a persons spirit.
My sister started to skip around and chant that she tried to summon my grandfather at his grave, and he came home with us. I don’t know, I don’t think it was my grandfather with the way our dog reacted.
I also saw my mom turn pale and go out of the room quickly, but she said it was probably something outside, when I argued the blinds were closed so the dog couldn’t have saw anything, she just ignored me and continued to unpack.
Anyways, now to my sisters experiences. Now that she’s older, she’s still very interested in the paranormal but much more cautious. Shes said she’s heard a girl whispering, and she’s felt like she’s been watched. She’s a teenager now and she’s said she’s heard stuff before, along with my cousin. Like my mother calling for her when she hasn’t, or me talking to her when I’m not.
There was a situation that actually happened around a year and a half ago where I slept over my parents place when my cousin was over. They woke me up the next morning asking why I ran up and down the stairs in the middle of the night and pretended like I went back to sleep, they had presumed I heard them sneaking up onto the roof so I was joking with them.
I was confused as hell because I didn’t and I saw their faces go pale. My cousin ended up telling my grandmother and she did another blessing.
Now whenever my grandmother comes over she prays and prays and prays, I mean, she’s always been like that, but I know through one of my uncles she does think there was/is some entity in the house, my parents don’t think of it as anything.
I haven’t heard of anything else recently from my sister, but I hope whoever this spirit or entity is, they’re doing okay. I do believe we were friends at some point and as I grew older and less lonely I abandoned her. I hope she found peace.
