Hi my name is China and I live in Michigan. I haven’t really experienced anything, at least I don’t think but I believe in ghosts, and am very afraid to come across in seeing one. I love listening to ghost stories but I’m afraid sometimes. My grandma believes in not talking about it too much or they would hear and come to you or something? But I don’t know. And I just started coming to this site to read a few stories, which are amazingly good by the way, but just last night after reading a few more stories before I went downstairs into my bedroom to sleep, I laid there for like an hour and couldn’t fall asleep because of this knocking happening over my head. I don’t know if it was in the wall? Or what? It sounded like it was happening in a pattern. It would knock a few times, stop… and so on.
I was getting freaked out so I turned on a movie and it stopped, even when I turned it off to go to sleep. I didn’t fall asleep till 6:00 am. But that’s my question, do you think it’s all in my head, maybe starting to get a little paranoid? I don’t know but I hope I’m not over reacting to this. I was always afraid of my older cousins house (who were like brothers to me). I hated sleeping the night but you know I’m just a kid and I would always think to myself, just fall asleep and I would wake up to daylight soon. But the thing is I would always wake up in the middle of the night and start staring into the dark (sometimes I even stare into my closet). I think to myself why am I doing this? Am I looking to see if I might see something? Do I want to see something? Cause I know I don’t! Or else I’ll start crying my brains out. I’m now 17 and know if I encounter something I’ll be to afraid to move and start crying. So I would sleep with the covers over my head and I would be sweating like crazy! I just didn’t want to look around the room already feeling freaked out and being even more freaked.
I always would have a weird feeling about being in any room by myself so I would follow my cousins everywhere. I guess maybe the reason for me feeling this way is because they would always scare me and would at night, play around and tell me “they are going to leave me alone with the ghost” and they would turn off the light and make me cry. And now, not that he is trying to scare anybody, one of my cousins had stories to tell that in that same house before they moved (not because of that reason)… about a really pale naked lady screaming and attacking him. Like punching him in his sleep. And for a while he wouldn’t sleep or else sleep with the lights on. And other things happened that I don’t remember but it seems to follow him everywhere and it doesn’t seem to be the same one either. The other brothers never had anything happen to them or ever heard anything. And neither have I.
When they moved into the Woodfield Apartments, I was also having weird vibes especially when I was there by myself. I would always look behind me and turn on all the lights. They would be gone for like 20 minutes. So I guess their father is like a monk type of thing. I don’t really know. But he prays and meditates a lot. And I guess he had a vision that their were two ghosts in the apartment building they were staying in. And I don’t know all of it in detail but he said that their was a ghost that sleeps with him in his bed (the oldest one) and the other brother that I hang out with mostly, he said to not worry because it only happens to his older brother (sorry if it maybe confusing cause I’m not giving any names).
My question about this one is that how come he is getting picked on by these “ghosts” and no one else? The half of my family I stay with are Buddhist others are Christians. One of my cousins said their aren’t really ghosts ‘in’ the house but we found out by a psychic lady in Laos said that there’s an old couple who stays in the red car that they use to have in the garage, and my grandma said she seen them when she went through the garage to go outside. Also there was one living in the big tree in the back yard. My uncle that was staying in there downstairs said that he knew about it because he would always leave the shades open and when he was watching TV, it would be outside standing there watching TV with him.
There are so many more I can tell you guys, but I’ll probably write another story about ‘em some other time if you guys are still interested.

Its been a really long time since I started typing my comments on this site again. And I have a really spooky encounter at my school’s camp in the nearby forest at the Camp Site.
ok china, its seems you were tramatized by your cousins as a kid now ghosts can’t really hurt you and there just movin in and out between realms don’t let your imagination get the best of you and its seems you have a lot of legends and lore and history in your families so check things out on the web or the library you’ll be ok think positive and don’t spook your self by staring into a closet thinkin something is going to jump out if you have concerns ask people here we all care and don’t want people stressin out over things we can’t control relax girl
I’m hooked!
Write more, please!
I sometimes hear banging in my house, very loud bangs sometimes and i discovered it was my central heating or the old wood shifting with the changes in temperature.
I know there are such things as ghosts, but i have never seen one. You may go your whole life without encountering a ghost, which can’t hurt you as trolldoll said.
If you really want to keep the paranormal away from you, just remember never to mess around with the occult, including ouija boards, that is when the paranormal becomes dangerous and you can unintentionally invite beings into your life which are much different from harmful ghosts.
So, nothing to worry about at all!
Thanks for the feedback.
I’ll try to keep everything in mind cause for the last 2 weeks I would stay up till it gets lighter out side. And I’ll be very tired!
I don’t why.
Every time I do try to sleep, I can’t because I’m scared to.
This isn’t healthy is it?
If your advice doesn’t work, what else should I do?
Hi China,
Don’t worry…my husband was just like you. He always said he would just die if he ever seen one, but you know what…..he didn’t!
Now, that we have been married he has seen more ghosts then he ever imagined! He used to be this big Horror Freak, but now he sees, it’s nothing like in the movies- at all- and has no need to watch them anymore. So, just remember….ghosts we’re once people too.
But, as for your cousin- he’s not getting “picked on” – it’s a gift, they come to him because he can see.
Look up (1 Corinthians 12: 7 – 11) of the Bible, (or check it out on your internet search engine) you’ll see what I’m talking about.
applause A J i couldn’t agree more i’ve just heard it all and thank you you really opened up a new frame of wow here’s the kick i’ve been studying with johava’s and they poopoos any kind of spirit or ghost evidence i’d like to learn both my mom kinda believed some of their ways ok anyone who has any feedback hollar!
I personally think that its all in ur head yesterday i was reading ghot stories and couldnt fall asleep just like u i entered a cold sweat and i imagined a black figure i kept looking at it and it was my purse hanging from earlier u c sometimes u have to find n explination…
OMG i have the same problem with the knocking !! (my wall is hollow) although for now it has stopped, i think because i banged on the wall because i was getting sick of it knocking all the time.
At first the knocking was hesitant and faint, then it grew in confidence and even in rhythm, but if smn moved or made a noise it would subside.
At one point i grew tired and said : stop it ! then banged on the wall. It stopped for a few years, then when i was sleeping with my younger sister it ever so faintly resumed, i banged on the wall again and it seems to have stopped for now.
