Well this is my story of a few ghosts who I believe followed me throughout my life. I dont know why or who they were but thats what I think is happening.

It all started when I was around 10yrs old. My family and I were moving to Cleveland Ohio and we have everything all packed and ready to go. That night we all went to bed early to get rest before the big move. It was a fairly chilly night. Well my mother has this old blanket that belonged to her mother's great grandmother and was passed down to her. Now no one was allowed to touch it so she kept it in the attic in a heavy chest under lock and key! Literaly!! lol Sometime in the night i woke up hearing a strange sound coming from right outside my window..I slept on the second floor...I wasnt scared so I got up to look and see what it was. All I remember seeing was a woman standing in the grass smiling at me..she was wearing a long white gown with what seemed like glitter or beads embedded in it. I made sure my window was locked and went back to bed...when I woke up in the morning I was covered with the old blanket from the attic...I assumed my mother came in to check on me and put it on me seeing I was cold. I went downstairs to thank her and she was mad at me..lol. The only thing I can figure was the woman had placed the blanket on me

Second time we were living here in Cleveland and I was almost 11 and I went to bed. I remember being upset that day for something, maybe I got in trouble I dont remember but I do know that I was upset with my mom for something. Well I was laying in bed wide awake and an older man just walked into the room..he came from the wall my bed was faceing...He walked through the wall, Looked at me and then walked right passed the bed into the other room. He was dressed in an old fashion fishing outfit. You know the kind that you see in movies. The hat with the hooks in it, suspender type pants/boots and a flannel looking shirt. He looked to be in his late 60's. Well this guy (I ended up calling him George) came through my room from that day on every night at the same time. Always the same way and same actions...The last night I remember seeing him was when I was 17..he walked in the room and stopped again but he didnt look at me this time just kept his eyes on the floor..then walked away. about a week later I moved out of the house with my grandfather.

Well it so happens that I got married many years later and my husband and I move into the same place I lived when I was 11. We had a son who was almost 2yrs old. And one night I heard on the moniter a sound that was very weird, kinda like a mumbling sound yet in a very deep low tone. And then I heard my son start babbling and "talking". I know in my heart that George had visited my son. Then one night my husband came home from work fairly late and went straight to bed I was up in the living room watching tv.It was almost christmas and there were a few good christmas specials on I wanted to watch. All of the sudden my husband come running out of the bedroom gasping for breath his heart was pounding so fast and hard and he was sweating very badly. He looked so pale..After i finally got him calmed down he told me what happened..he said that he was almost asleep when he felt someone climb onto the bed..he assumed it was me...he turned to give me a kiss and there was no one there and at that point he could not breathe. He said it felt like there was someone sucking the air out of him, He felt paralized for a min and then shot up and took off out of there. When I went into the room there was nothing there just cold dry air. We stayed up most of that night and I talked to god wondering why this is all happening..I asked god if this were something that was going to keep happening and just as I finished asking the Sleep and Snore Ernie I had bought for my son for christmas started snoring..I took that as a yes.

we moved away from the house and I think the ghost followed us and did not like my husband...again it was late and he went to bed..A friends of mine was over and we were up talking about life in general and the same thing happened to him. At this point he was scared that it would not leave him alone...In the morning he got ready for work and was getting ready to walk out of the door and something literaly pushed him onto the couch. Needless to say he left me and the occurences have been mainly gone except for ghostly George who still sometimes visits. I have remarried since and have two other children who I believe George is protecting..Maybe a guardian? My husband now has never had any problem with the other presence...the only thing that has occured since we got married was early in the morning..we were lieing in bed thankful that the kids were still asleep. We just lie there cuddleing and enjoying the time together and suddenly this whitish figure appeared at the end of the bed. Not scarey in the least. A woman just like the one when I was 10 outside my window. She just looked on at us for about a min smiled and then dissapeared. So far we have not seen anyhting since. of course that was just a week ago. Anyone know if there is any reason for these two ghosts or ghostly friends as I call them to follow me? I would love to hear it if anyone has any reasons or comments. They have never hurt me and scared away my first husband and have never hurt any of my children nor my Husband now. Anyhing?
