Our Not So Innocent Neighborhood

I live in a small town called Owensboro. Now in our neighborhood my family has experienced a number of encounters and I will just begin at the earliest encounter.

At our old house(we lived in two different houses in this neighborhood so the locations will change depending on the house it took place in.)I saw on top of a hill what appeared to be a man with a bush in his hand, now the funny thing about this is that it was rainy and the man was really the tip of a tre, but I looked at that tree at the same angle and the same kind of weather but it didn't take that shape.

Now in our current house we have had alot more encounters. First of all I was taking a shower in my mom's shower because my sister's and my bathroom was in use, well i looked for an unfogged portion of the mirror and couldnt find one so i cleared one off to see my face. I bent down to pick up a contact lens bottle I had dropped and in the lower corner was a small hand print. I compared it to mine and there was no match, and I had just looked it over for a unfogged part but there was none.

I have also experienced something in my room a number of times. I will almost be asleep and I will feel someone tap me and when I start to wake I feel someone jump on me but there is no feeling that they stay on me just as if they go through me, and after I feel someone jump through me I am sort of bouncing in my bed as I had jumped on it.

Other small things had happened like our dogs will wake up from their sleep and just stare at something but there is nothing there, the doors unlock themselves, the stove comes on on its own, and just recently I was laying on the couch and my moms door slammed behind, and my mom was at work and sister was asleep.

Just a month ago while looking at another site my mom found that an area less than a mile away there was a spirit of a witch who was burned in a forrest that has a state park around it, and the woods she was burned in has a nature trail through it.
