I’m not entirely sure if I’m just being over-imaginative about everything; according to some of my family and friends, I’m just over-reacting. For the record, We (my family) built this house eleven years ago so, naturally, I’ve always felt fairly secure knowing that the dead do not walk in there. However, when I was about thirteen, very weird things began to happen and over the past few months, they have steadily been growing worse.
When I was thirteen, I was in my school library (which was a very small room with four-foot high bookshelves making three rows) when I distinctly heard someone call my name. At first, I thought that someone was playing a joke, but upon further examination, I found that I was the only person in the library and no one were in the halls. As distinctly as I had heard it, I was willing to dismiss it as my imagination. For months afterwards, I would occasionally hear a disembodied voice whisper my name, but as it became more frequent, I chose to simply ignore it and not to get worked up about it.
Not long after this happened, I was alone in the study of my house on the computer, when I very clearly felt the sensation of someone blowing hard into my ear. It was very loud, and if anyone has ever felt that before, than they know that it’s a very loud noise, and the air waves feel substantial. I thought it felt like some sort of bird was hovering right next to my ear and spastically fluttering its wing right next to my ear hole. I had never felt that before, and left the room rather quickly.
The last event to occur before things got quiet was during a morning where I was in the bathroom that connected mine and my brother’s room. I was brushing my hair when I heard a very, very clear voice call my name from my room in a hushed tone. Never before had the voice been that loud or distinct. I could hear everything pronounced perfectly and I can even tell you that it was a young females voice. That did. I wanted to believe that it was my brother playing a joke on me, so I ran screaming at him all through the house, and when I found him, I yelled at him until he cried and I cried and my mother had to separate us. No, my brother hadn’t done it, the voice hadn’t been anything like his, but I was so willing to believe it had been him because I was so scared.
For the next few years, minimal things happened. Friends would spot mysterious figures looming out of my window when no one was in there and I, as well as my mom, would lay awake at night and listen to very distinct, disembodied footsteps. Aside from that, life really calmed down until a few months ago. I am now eighteen, and am convinced that something is in my house.
My mother and I were watching TV around eleven o clock at night with the dog when there was a crash in the foyer. My father came to see what had happened as well as my other sibling and we found a vase, broken on the floor of the foyer. Not only had the vase been sitting away from the edge, but it was a few feet away from the table, as though someone had pushed it with force. And then, a few weeks ago, my mother was home alone in the kitchen when she watched an aluminum pan fly half way across the room. That same day, she saw a dark, humanoid image walk across our large TV in the living, although there was no physical body there to have cast a shadow. Finally, a few days ago, I was in my room when, right before my eyes, the tiny, Japanese lantern-cords on my bookshelves began to sway and slither on the floor. I waited for a repeat performance, but it never happened before or after.
I’m starting to get scared of my own house and as much as I’d like to get to the bottom of what’s been happening and why it’s been starting up again, I’m a little afraid to find out.

I think the hauntings had something to do with you but not the house.
It doesn’t seem to haunt her specifically, but does appear to have a fixation on her. No reason for immediate concern, for now it only seeks her attention. She probably has a greater sensitivity which is why it seeks her out. Its not tied to the house or land, so it was probably picked up elsewhere.
do some research on the house and see what you come up with.put some cameras up were its most active is.or get a priest.whatever you do ,let us know in what you find out.
A Rabbi for me, lol, but thank you and I will definitely let you know about any new developments.
Anna….. nobody lived there before. It was a new house.
that sounds like a poltrigeist. It might do minor pranks now, but watch out because they can be violent.
Oh, you don’t have to tell me!
This is a tough one and Im thinking that you maybe a sensetive.. Although most of the activity is in your house, you have had a few things happen in other places as well. If your parents had the house built then maybe its attached to the land. You maybe afraid to find out what is going on but to get it to stop you have to face it and get to the bottom of it soon or it may get worse. Thanks for sharing and God Bless.
Thank you for your advice! I’ll do what I can.
was there a house on the property before yours?
Nope. The neighborhood where I live used to be just wooded area, and slowly, over the years, more and more houses have been built, mine included.
Thank you for you feedback everyone. Just wanted to let you know that, a few nights ago, I was in my room when I heard these weird banging noises coming from my brother’s room across the hall. I knew he wasn’t in there, but I called out anyway; there was no way I was imagining it it was so loud. Finally, I told myself to suck it up and went to investigate only to find, surprise surprise, nothing there :/ Everything seems to be concentrated in the upstairs of the house, mainly mine and my brother’s room.
You need to talk to it and ask it why it’s doing those things. If you’re scared then ask your brother to help you. If you try to ignore it, it’ll just start doing more and potentially aggressive things.
Think about it. When the activity happened, did you also have weird dreams? Try to make a connection. If you aren’t doing it already, keeping a dream log would be helpful Think about what happened and strongly say to yourself that you want to get to the bottom of this and have the presence quiet down. Do this every day and things will be fine. Whatever you do, don’t ask it to stop and do not try to send it away by force. This is the most common mistake. You can’t command something to stop when you’re shivering with fear. The only thing you must stop is your fear. The entity is doing those things because it too is afraid of something, and if you are afraid too it gives it more strength. You and your brother must show it that you are attentive rather than afraid.
There were no weird dreams…although something else very weird DID happen. About two plus years before the event (This will sound very crazy) I sorta started to predict the future, in a way, but it was more like I would WISH very hard for a specific thing to occur or happen to someone in particular, and within a day at the most, it would happen. It was all too specific to be a coincidence. One time, when I was little, I saw a complete stranger playing with a basketball, and I began to concentrate very hard on how much I wanted the ball, and suddenly, they walked over, gave it to me, and pretty much just walked away. Granted, they could have seen me just staring at them, but I remember them not facing me the entire time.
Stuff like that would just happen spontaneously, I would concentrate on something I desired, and it would happen. Also, severe deja vu began to occur, right up to this day.
My friend and I, shortly after everything began to happen, ignorantly began to use a ouija board, but nothing happened at all with it.
One more thing, lately, I’ve began to see weird shadows everywhere out of the corner of my eyes. Weird.
Thank you so much for your help!
Sounds like you weren’t predicting the future, you were influencing it… You have some abilities, that’s why that something likes to be around you, it’s hoping that you could help it in some way. You should concentrate on asking it politely to leave and telling it that you can’t help it.
As for the shadows in the corner of your eyes, don’t worry. I get them too sometimes, they never bothered me.
Thank you so much!
You have nothing to thank me for. If you have a special ability, no matter how crazy it would sound to those around you, you must believe in it and it’ll get you thru anything. It is your gift and you were born with it for a reason… believing in your gift is believing in yourself, and believing in yourself and realizing your dreams is the point of life. If everybody in the world realized this we wouldn’t have any demons.
