Ever since I saw a little girl I have always been afraid of Ghosts and monsters and only in the past few years have I been getting a daring interest in them. I dont really have a one big story to tell you but of all the small happenings to me, family and friends have had. I'll start with me due to the fact I explain the title so here goes.

I have never really know how and where to summon spirits and ghosts but lucky I dont have to, they come to me. When Im afraid I am a magnet for spirits of any kind and I have tones of stories. In my house there is a main hall and from there you can see mostly every room in the house, in the night sometimes when I go to the bathroom I pass the living room and if I look hard I sometimes see shadows and figures lurking. On the other side is the front door at which on to many occasions I have seen a 16th century woman dressed in red hung from the frame with very nasty and wide eyes.

In my bedroom I wake up to odd things: I was woken quite suddenly one night by something shaking me and as I woke up I could feel myself drop on the bed. That happened three times in the same night and after a bit I got very scared, I pulled the covers over my eyes as I saw the common shapes in my room and stayed there. As I did I felt something kneel on the bed and press it's 'hand' on my knee, I also felt it pull down the covers so my face was bare. I didn't dare open my eyes Incas what ever it was, was looking at me!

Four times in three weeks I saw clear figures of people in my room. The first was a tall man in a white suit; white hair and he had no face. He was standing next to my bed and I almost felt as if he was at peace with me and that h was there to only talk and comfort me. I dont remember much but I got into a conversation with him but all he did was lightly mumble. My sister who shares my room stirred a little and asked whom I was talking to, before I replied I told the man to hush because of my sister and said bye. He waved then sunk into the darkness.

The next I saw were two little girls, the big one was called Katie and the small one was Called Mary. They were crouched down next to me and they wouldn't stop giggling, like the man I told then to leave after I had tried to speak to them but instead of sinking away they skipped away out the door, I really didn't like them anyway!

The third was a small man with long black hair and a purple suit on, he was the only one who ever intended on hurting me I believe and he was the only one who stayed at a distance. His eyes bled and he would dance and smile, always by my closet though. I hissed at him to go away and dived under my covers. I never saw him again.

The fourth was my most fantastic and one, which I would give anything to happen again! I was lying in bed and it was cold in the house and stormy outside and was very scared of thunder and lighting (I was only 6). I had about six blankets on and they were very heavy so I couldn't move. I began to hear a deep and strong voice in the room, one of a man and very close. I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to pretend I couldn't hear him, but I felt my bed sink next to me. I felt a big hand rest on top of my head and an arm wrap around my body. At the time I thought it was the end of me but as a lay there for a while expecting the man to hurt me nothing happened. I opened my eyes and tried to scream but he pulled me up and buried me in his chests to muffle my talking. I looked up to him and he smiled warmly, in that moment I felt a kind of loving connection between but I was still very scared. He told me that he would always be there for me and hold me as long as I liked. He pulled me onto his knee and I could see if big shadowed arms wrap round me, they were warm and now the storm had go very strong. He stood up with me in his arms and turned around, laying me back on my bed. In a few seconds I had fallen asleep and I never saw him again! It had always been such a wonderful feeling just thinking about it, and when I checked my family history a few weeks ago- when I was about six my grand father's brother had died. But I never met him, I always wondered why he came to me but Im glade he did.

The things that happen in the day are things such as shadows passing along my hall walls, the shadows should come from my kitchen but nothing is ever in there and I sometimes hear the 'click' of the lose floor tiles at my kitchen door which is just round the corner. And when I check to see where my dog is she is normally behind me. My family would always be out and they always locked each door- sometimes I would think they were home because I would hear the backdoor open and when I went to check the door would be unlocked and opened but no one would be in the house! I once heard a very loud breathing near me but when I look there is nothing there, a few seconds later I would hear it again.

Now onto my friends: I have a friend call Joe who told me that she has a aunt called Julie, she claimed that when she was in her room crying after braking up with her boyfriend she was standing in the corner and when she opened her eyes she could see a womans face with BIG eyes and a straight face glaring at her. Julie closed her eyes for a while and when she opened then the womans face was right up against hers! Put you hand- right in front of your face and imagine that as a white woman with huge eyes! She swears it' true!

My grandmother's friend Mick and his family have worked in a big house in the past and many of his family had claimed to have seen an old woman who looked a bit like a servant standing at the top of the main stairs. On top of a hill that goes up behind the house on it's grounds. I have a video tape of Mick telling me this and normally he's a daft middle aged man up for any kind of joke and laugh and look on his face was deadly serious!

For family all i've heard is things for my oldest cousin- Holy. And me second oldest sister- Emma, who is the one i share my room with And my grandmother- Brenda, but i call her Mamo. It is a name i called her since i was a baby. Holy says that when sleeping over at my grandmothers house (a cottage in a wood, not far from where Mick said he saw his ghost) said she saw something like a little troll. My grandmother has cats and dogs but she always buts them to bed down stairs! My grandmother claims to have actually seen the Grim Reaper at the end of her bed when she wakes up! He is very tall and pointing at her and my grandmother does NOT lie. And she does not have any interest in the unknown but she is willing to believe.

Emma says when she woke up in the night she saw a big black lump at the end of her bed with white round eyes. She was so scared she just pulled the covers over her and went back to sleep. Emma doesn't believe in ghosts or monsters an she thinks Im crazy for it, but she tolled me saw that and sometime she sees eyes and figures in the room like me and she sees things in the hall and living room at night like me.

All my friends and family claim this to me deadly true and so do i. I wish I could have more to tell you and I wish I had seen more for me to complete for interest and love for the spirit world but I am 13, I just know Ill have ALOT more to come! Well thanks if you believed me and if you didn't then just check out all the other stories of others, mine isn't so far fetched!
