This is no ordinary Ghost Story i am about to reveal. It involves my family and myself mostly. I have lived in my house here in sunny California for 15 years and enjoy it to the fullest except for one minor thing. We live directly in front of a graveyard. It has been quite until about four years ago.

Since we moved in there has been a few odd things that would happen but we all just threw it away as utter nonsense and nothing to worry about.

Well one night i awoke and headed for the bathroom, i don't know why i was awake i had no need to go to the restroom. once inside the restroom i turned on the lights and stood there looking at myself in the mirror. When i woke from what was a trance i saw the handle on the toilet go down on it's own and the the lights turned off. I wasn't startled for some reason. I knew who was ever in our house was not there to hurt us or hurt me that is.

When i looked back into the mirror i saw the face of a young girl. I jumped and turned to see who was in my house. When i turned she wasn't there, but when i looked back in the mirror she was still looking at me. I just smiled and waved at her. She smiled and then she was gone like it never happened. So naturally i thought i was going crazy so i told my dad what happened.

He told me that i wasn't dreaming that he has seen her too. See my dad is a night owl, up all night and sleeps all day. He said one night he was at the computer and all of a sudden his chair turned around to face the doorway. He looked into the living room which was directly across from his room and saw the figure of a little girl. I tensed up when he recounted the story of her.

It was odd but even to this day i feel her presence in the house any time i am in there. I walk through the front door and i know she is there.

I got curious one day and did a little research on what was on our property before we were. i found out that in the 1930's there was a main road here and that a horrible accident happened on this road. I took an old map and traced it around the area i live and saw that the exact spot where the accident happened was my room. I read on more to find out that a little girl named Emily and her family were killed here in that accident.

The next time i saw the girl she was standing behind me once again in the mirror while i was getting ready for work. I asked her why she was here. She just smiled and pointed at me. I asked it she was here because there was something in this house that needed her or if she was stuck here. As usual she just smiled and then disappeared.

I got very frustrated because i wanted to help her move on or something. I found a friend of mine that sees and helps spirits with all their problems i guess you can say. I was skeptical at first but then i began to believe when he was telling me things about myself that i have done while i was alone in the house. I figured the little girl had told him.

He told me that she was there because i had called to her and i needed her help. I began to laugh of course like thinking i never called anyone in my life for that reason. I don't need help especially from a ghost. He finally summed things up for me ok she was there to protect me alright i will deal with that fine enough. For the next few months she was always around me like watching my while i was getting ready for work, on the chair next to my bed when i was sleeping. I even felt her when i would leave my room and go into the kitchen. The one thing is she never left the house for any reason. It was like she was trapped in there unable to go anywhere else. Well i soon found out why.

About three months ago i was out in my back yard brushing down our pool when all of a sudden a gust of wind blew me right in the pool. Now it was no ordinary gust it was extremely cold and the weather outside was very warm for that time of year. I came out of the pool and back in the house. I dried off and headed back out to continue what i was doing. As i was about to open the sliding glass door i heard a little voice behind me say "NO!" it wasn't loud but it was surly and angry voice. I turned to see where it came from. i didn't see our little girl so i turned back around and saw the glass in front of me fogging up like someone was breathing on it. I stepped back a ways and it stopped. I decided i didn't want to go back outside that day so i just went back to my room.

I was in my room for about 10 minutes and i heard a knocking on my window. I thought it was my father asking me to come finish the pool, but my dad was at work and my mother was in her room. So i got up off my bed and headed for the window. I opened my blinds to see the same fogged up window and breath like on a cold day coming out of thin air. The binds suddenly came down and i stepped back and took in what was happening.

Then my window started to rattle like in and earthquake. I screamed for it to stop and then everything went silent after that. I have not had anything happen to me like that since. I still know the girl is protecting me still. I had an ex-boyfriend that used to come over a lot and she didn't like him at all. Anytime he would leave my side she would throw things in his direction, she would knock him down and she would sit on his stomach at night so he could not breath. well come to find out this guy was cheating on me and she knew it and was trying to get rid of him before i got hurt. She plays with my cat, i see my cat reaching up to thin air and swatting at something. I know that she is playing with my cat and i just throw it out like nothing. I'm the only one in the house she watches over though. It's like she doesn't want what happened to her happen to me.

I can remember a few incidences where i would be driving down the road and i would see a car coming at my side of the road and i would somehow move out of the way from being killed. or even when i was on my way to work one day i was in traffic dead stop and all of a sudden i thought i need to move off the road. The instant i moved this car from the opposite side of the freeway came over on our side of the road and slammed into the car that was directly in back of me. Even though the little girl can not leave the house i know she is still protecting me. It's like a guardian.
