This story happened when I was about ten years old. My Grandmother had just build a two story house right next to ours. This house was a beachhouse, even though we were twenty miles from the nearest beach, she said she built it because she liked it.

Well a few months later after the house was built my parents got upset at my brother and me for playing on my Grandparents stairs and patio. She told us that she heard us kids playing with a ball bouncing it up and down the stairs and running up and down in the evening. We told our parents that we had never bounced a ball or went running on the stairs or patio. Our parents told this to our Grandmother and they said that we were lieing because they said they heard our voices as we played outside. After that occasion occured several times our Grandparents tore down the stairs and build one inside the house.

About four years later our Grandparents told our parents that they were tired of the house and said they were going to sell it. My mother for them not to do it that she would take it and they could have ours in exchange. My Grandparents agreed and a week later we were in our new house. A few months had passed and we too heard strange things in the house but our parents tried to come up with logical things for the occurances. I didn't really think to much of it untill Halloween night (yeah yeah I know) I wasn't able to go with my brother and sis because I was sick and i stayed behind to give candy.

While I was at home I heard strange things upstairs and i went to check it out. While I was going upstairs I heard voices and I told what ever was up there I had a gun and I wasn't afraid to use it and the voices stopped. While I was going down stairs I felt something behind me and I heard heavy footsteps follow me so I hurried back to the living room. While I settled down I heard the voices again this time they were louder and then I heard a loud bang, after that I was waiting for my parents outside. When they arrived I told them what happened and then they told us kids that they heard things before but they didnt want to tell us.

Atfer that incident we had the house cleansed and they never came back. Till this day we still live in that house.
