The Weirdest House

First off, I'd like to say that after what I've been through, I definitely believe in ghostly phenomena. And i truly agree that just because some things aren't visible to the naked eye, does not mean they're not there.

Well my experience begins with the background of the whole thing. We moved to a house in a nice neighborhood in mid 97'. I was excited as would any 14 year old would be. I finally had my own room and my privacy, so i didn't see (or never thought about) being bothered or experiencing any "ghosts".

But everything started a couple years later. In the year of 98', i lost my great grandmother, my grandfather, and my aunt, month after another. After all that i learned to cope with their deaths. And I remember clearly one night of insomnia when it was a pretty dark and gloomy. I personally love the night so i was comfortable with the spooky atmosphere. I just never thought that someone or something was joining me.

Well turns out I couldnt fall asleep as I had planned to, so I started walking around the house. I swear I could feel someone walking behind me. I swear. I thought nothing of it, although I was pretty shaken. That same night, I was laying in bed. My great-grandma used to pull our toes (my younger brother and myself). And I can remember the feeling of something pulling my toes. I was absolutely still, because I knew it was her and I was frozen with fear. Besides all that, after her death, the whole fam. decided to take a pic. of hers and blow it up to a very big size. It sits at the end of a hall in my grandmother's house. The odd thing is, it stares at you when you walk by. And sometimes you can hear her coughing in the room where she used to sleep in. I hate thinking about it because it doesn't help when I try to forget about losing her.

Another thing...I was coming home from school one day and my bro wasn't home yet. So I was fiddlying around my pocket for the house keys when I heard a woman screaming her heart out inside my house. I thought 'maybe grammas here', since she always blasts the t.v. I finally got to open the door to find that my grandmother wasn't in the house. In fact, nobody was. I was freaked out and stayed outside with a friend. I didn't even go inside to answer the phone. I've never really told all this to anyone. I'm afraid they'd think I was crazy. And sometimes there is this lady, which I doubt has any relation to me because she doesn't really look like anybody I know. She's more like a silhouette She used to come into my room at night and stare at me four a couple minutes. The last time i saw her she bent over, touched my forehead, and left. I know for a fact it couldn't be my mother, since they have different physical figures. I know most people think a typical 17-year-old girl would usually make this up as a prank. But i can swear and swear again that I know what I saw.

And all this is open for anyone to judge...
