I really don't know if I should be writing about this because it seems as though whenever I let someone know about what is going on more "stuff" starts happening. 

I moved into a house on jones street about three years ago. I noticed strange things start to happen first there. a couple of weeks after my daughter and I had settled in I noticed that the shower would turn on every once in a while by it self, only the hot water would run and this annoyed me because my daughter could have burnt herself easily. 

so I called the landlord and told him to come over and fix it. my daughter also has a porcelain doll collection. they are sitting on a shelf in out living room. about once a week I would come home from class and all of the dolls would be turned completely around facing the wall, so I'd turn them around again. I am a very skeptical person so I would tell my daughter not to turn them around and let her know that she could play with them but she needed to put them back the right way. 

after being there a month I was sitting on the couch and I heard someone come in the door I froze because I was terrified. whatever it was walked through the kitchen. passed through the dining room where I could see plain as day, but all I saw was a shadow cast onto the wall, and it moved into the bathroom and shut the door. I called the police and they searched the house and found nothing. 

two days after that incident a friend form school came to stay with us for the week because I was so scared. I came home from class on a monday morning and every door in the house was open all the cupboard doors the bedroom doors and all of the door leading into the house which were usually locked when I left. I walked into the house and shut them all. when my friend came home with my daughter I was very upset and asked her why she left all the doors in the house open when she left. 

she started crying and told me that she had gotten up that morning and all of the doors had been open. so she shut them and went into the kitchen to make coffee when all the doors opened again. again she went and shut them all and ran upstairs to get my daughter. as she was running up the stairs she said that she heard the doors slam open. the doors in out house have a tendency to open back up if you don't shut them tightly and I told her this she said she knew and she shut them so that when she pulled back on them they would not open. 

we stayed in a hotel that night and called the landlord and told him that I would be out of the house within the week. when we went back to pack the dolls were facing the wall. my daughter went upstairs to get her stuff and we instantly heard her start to scream, it was bloodcurdling. we ran to the stairway and at the bottom of the stairs there was a barrier. 

for this I have absolutely no explanation. my daughter was screaming as though she was being murdered. I could see up the staircase, I could see the door way to her room but my friend nor I were able to get through the barrier at the bottom of the staircase. it was like an invisible wall. I was hysterical and finally it quit. it only lasted a minute or two but it was terrifying. 

when we got up stairs my daughter was staring at the wall. she was very pale and to this day she will not talk about what she saw up in her room. 

since then wherever we move her dolls still turn around and doors still open I find what appear to be blood stains on our carpet and my daughter loves animals we have had several dogs, kittens and fish which have all died. in our house and have gotten hit by cars fallen out of trees very strange things. I have also found out that they can't keep that house rented for more than a month or so. 

if you have any idea what might is going on or have heard of this house please e-mail ME.
