I had just moved into a new apartment and my girlfriend who is a sensitive got a creepy feeling right off the bat. This was an old apartment that had been vacant for 3 years. I love the dark and tacked up a blanket over the window but that might have been why my room was so friendly to ghosts. I always had a feeling that I was being watched from the closet which was always unusually dark even before and after the blanket from the window came down. Even though my room was usually dark it had an unnatural heat about it. It was a small room but always very hot with repeated attempts to have the repair man come and change the filters to no avail. I always wondered if ghosts could cause unnaturally hot spots instead of cold spots?

After that is when real supernatural things started to happen. I had gotten a job working at a funeral home and had plenty of experience around dead bodies and funerals. If there was a way someone could absorb death static it was me.

One day, in the mid afternoon while we were attempting to paint I had sought shelter in the office to get a drink of water. As I passed the chapel I heard to the left of me in the front of the chapel mumbling. Not just any mumbling, the only way I could describe it was an evil gregorian chant. Without musical tones. Unnerved I played it off by confronting whatever was making the sound and I said in a loud voice, mockingly, "Oooooohhhh, ok ghosts, if thats really you come out and prove it. Come try me." I thought it was a fellow practical joker. But I was wrong. I checked in the the owner and no one was in the chapel. They were all outside and no one was in the chapel.

So flash forward to 3 nights later back at my apartment. I awoke one night in a terror at about 2 or 3 a.m. I felt afraid to move off of my bed or stay on it. It was a feeling of terror as if someone was pointing a gun at me. I was too afraid to turn on a light. I would have to say as a strong Catholic that I said my prayers and begged God to come and protect me. I would sit there and feel as if something was indulging on my fears. It felt as if evil was all around me.

The feeling of being watched was always through out the day and night and when I would approach my closest I would smell the funeral home. And I would hear whispers that I could not find a cause for (no neighbors underneath us or beside us.) For some reason, no where else in my house would I feel its oppression.

Upon advice from my girlfriend, I beseeched the ghost and asked it to move on. This met with minimal effects. I finally had enough and told it to get out NOW! And it pushed back in my face hard core, when I say that I feel as if a physical wall from out of that closet hit me in the face. As if something was over bearing on me. I sought shelter in other bed rooms and whatever it was harrassed me in there and also in the bathroom. Even with lights on. When day break came I finally had to sleep in the living room.

The next night my girlfriend was going to give me a hair cut but left the scissors in my room. She went to go get them and came back and asked me what I had said while she was in the other room. I told her that I hadn't said anything and she went on to explain that she had heard a mumbling. I asked her to tell me what it sounded like and to my horror she described the exact thing that I heard at the funeral home only it was in my room. And she felt watched after that too. We slept in the living room after that night. She wouldn't go back in that room.

When one of my other two roommates would go home the supernatural activity would increase immensely. Now it was time to get rid of this ghost. I turned to the only thing in the world that I believe in and that was Jesus Christ. I went to church and got some holy water and read scriptures from the bible. We doused the house with holy water and holy oils and commanded the ghost to leave. And we had peace for 3 months.
