I’ve known for a while my house has been haunted. When we moved into it, when I was about 11 years old, I took the upstairs bedroom, my little brother took the main floor, and my parents retired to the basement. Now I’m 18 and my parents have gone on a two-week trip, which means I’m left here to watch my brother who is now 11.
A year ago, he made me trade bedrooms with him because he was having trouble sleeping at night. I used to go downstairs to sleep with him because I’d hear him yelling or crying. The very second I would walk into the room, the activity always stopped. He’s claimed to have seen a solid white figure, to have been touched, and to have been generally bothered by noises throughout each night. I’ve also had a couple of experiences while sleeping in his top bunk when he was too afraid to fall asleep.
My brother had a train clock, that had an alarm that was extremely loud. A train would come out of a tunnel, go around the clock, and go back in the tunnel. It plugged into a wall and also had a back-up battery. About three years ago, I was sleeping in his room with him and it was about 1:30 at night. The clock alarm started blaring, and the train was going around the clock a lot faster than it usually does. Still, no big deal, right? Except I literally jumped from the top bunk to the floor, grabbed the clock, and unplugged it, and the train was still going. The noise was incredible, it immediately woke my brother and I up and he could not stop crying. He begged me to make it stop. I went to find a screw driver, came back, and opened up the back. My parents were awake and angry at the noise they thought we were making, so they came upstairs to see what all the fuss was. The very moment my mom’s foot crossed into his room, the alarm stopped.
I’ve also noticed when I go into his room, I feel it go from heavy to light, and I’ve often heard footsteps walking back and forth outside as if it were pacing and waiting for me to leave so it could come back inside. Because of this, I haven’t really been afraid of being in the room because it always seemed to leave.
My brother decided to switch bedrooms with me because he couldn’t take it any more and he believed a move would help him. I took his room for a year and literally nothing happened, but then I started experiencing some weird things. Banging on the walls and flashes of light that would look exactly like someone was pointing a laser pointer or flashlight at a wall. It didn’t have a source, and it was always green, and it would just sort of move around in an area and then disappear. That was all fine by me, I could put in ear plugs and close my eyes. I never had bad dreams or night mares, nothing ever touched me, so I figured maybe it had ended.
In the past two nights, things have been getting incredibly scary. My calendar flew across my bedroom from a table to a window, and lay on the floor. I had a tube of lip gloss sitting on top of a very concave box, and it started rolling up one side, and then down and up the other. It wasn’t slowing down, instead it picked up speed. My guitar, (thankfully in its case) went from being propped up against a wall, to banging against a very heavy floor lamp I have by my bed. I saw the lights a couple of times and eventually just turned on all of my lights and fell asleep listening to my ipod to try and drown it out because I have to be at work early in the mornings.
With my parents gone (and they’re skeptics anyways) it’s just my baby brother and I alone in this house. We’re both afraid of what might happen, and we want to know if there are ways we can take to make it stop, fast, or any advise to get it to leave us alone. Please help asap!

i don’t know much about how to get it to stop other than telling or yelling at it to stop. almost sounds like a poltergeist. but i could be wrong. maybe some salt around the room? i don’t have noisy ghosts, quiet ones. good luck afton!! cool name by the way, there’s a town near me with that name and i’m guessing it’s english.
I’m not sure if this advice will help, but try as hard as you can not to feel afraid. Try and be calm, not let it make you feel intimidated.
I also agree with trilldoll1681, maybe sprinkling salt around will help? Anyway, good luck and stay strong!
Yeah sometimes getting angry at it works but can be dangerous. I would recommend a proper blessing since it seems to have gotten worse.

I dont really know what to say but get the house clens by the priest.I cant reallt say what it could be I would of said a mean ghost,a mean spirt.sorry for not being a good help.let us know what you do and if it worked.
your best bet would to find priest and get your home blessed from top to bottom. also if you beleive in god and pray about thing’s maybe it will go away. i am not the biggest religous person at all. but i do beleive in certain thing’s and if i were you i would go get some help. and after it’s all said and done then you can tell your parents i guess.
Don’t worry it did leave you alone if you experianced more then it would want you to think of it so you can give into your fear so it can hurt you
Hi,
I agree with all tht u should take help of priest,but i think tht dont try it untill ur parents come back.bcz some times it can be more worse,and u n ur brother are alone,so it can bring u both in a big trouble.n we still dont know tht who so ever is there in ur house is strong or not.so this would be personal suggestion not to try it untill ur parents come back.
Take care,n i will surely pray for u.plz give us an update.
Bye.
I have gone through some strange events myself. My daughters had a little girl scaring them during the night. One day it pissed me off and I yelled that it wasn’t welcome in our house. It needed to leave. I read a few pages out of the bible and put a cross in my kids room. Since then, there have been no incidences. Maybe keep a cross on the wall or light one of those religious candles. Where ever you are experiencing these events, stay out of that room for now. You don’t want things to get worse. Take care with whatever you decide.
Easy, it just wants attention, but what you need to do and this will help. Get some salt and sprinkle it in an uninterrupted line around the foundation of your house (keeps bugs out too!) and maybe the sills of the windows if you wish. Then take a white candle, or can use a floor lamp,but white candles work best specially in those tall glass jars.
Once the candle is lit, in a calm and confident voice tell the Spirit that it is time to “go to the other side” and to follow the light and move on and that it is time for it to leave. And then when you feel it leave you can blow out the candle then just throw it away or set it in a place where it wont be disturbed or something.
That should work, and the Salt will be able to prevent any return or other spirits that are unwanted from coming in your house.
Also burning sage in the house will help to cleanse it from any negative energy…the Native Americans have been using it for centuries for that purpose among others.
i think you should get help from some sort of a medium. my friend had a bad haunting in her house when she was little and her parents went to see a medium who did some sort of clensing thing to their house and all the auntings stopped.
in fact i think you should sort it before your parents get back, if they dont really believe you then they might stop you getting help, or think its our imagination. if you dont get help things might get really bad.
one thing my mum always told me as well was to always stay in control, make sure the sprirt knows that it is your house and your not going to put up with its nonsence, i know it sounds like all that positive thinking junk but it does sometimes work.
Good Luck, whatever you decide to do.
Run a cassette of any chapter of the Holy Qur’aan.
Have you thought of maybe calling the guys from the show Paranormal State? Maybe you should give them a try & see what they say & hopefully they’ll be able 2 help you. Good luck to you & please keep us informed..God Bless
Burning sage does help & sea salt sround the house keep negative energy out. Having the houe bless sometimes works or it can get worse. Hanging a horse shoe sometimes work. Telling it that it does not belong there can help.Do not ever try an ouija, no mediums, or recorders.
I agree, it wants attention, what i have done at times is have a talk with the spirits in a nice calm way.. just let it or them know that if they are going to live there they will have to behave….if they cant behave they will have to go… my spirits tend to play tricks on me at times, but most of the time, they are at peace!!!! The more stressed out you get, the worse they will be… they are like little children, the calmer you are, the calmer they are…
You have to be strong these things feed off your fear . If your parents don’t belive you get proof. try to take picture when you feel you are not alone. Watch out for cold spots this means the ghost is drawing the energy out of the room. this can mean something is trying to make it’s self know. Get a bible when you feel scared take comfort in the words of god. stay together do not let it seperate you from your brother. if you have the house blessed be careful it may feel calm for a few days/weeks but it came come back with more power and force beware! try getting holly water and sprikle it around the house.
lets us know what happens!
This thing is basically getting stronger because your showing fear do not show your fear even though you may feel some, dont show it. Whatever your religion is, pray to whoever and keep praying as you walk around the house. Im no priest, but i have heard this helps, and i bet it will. If your religion has a bible, leave it open at night in the room that has activity. If you havr lots of bibles, spread them around the house. Hope i helped, remember, dont show fear. Good luck.
Also, hang a cross in your room, and in your brothers room to make him feel safer. Maybe get a priest to come bless your house. Try telling it that its not welcome in the house
1) Do not recieve help from a priest or from any religious belief that you, yourself do not believe in. by sprinkling salt or using a holy Qur’aan when you are not wiccan or muslim will only cause the entity to show defiance. It WILL act up 10x more if you do.
2) Simply, wait until your parents are back, you might want to sleep in another room til then, and TELL, do not ask, “You are unwelcome here, your presence has been noted, but now it is time to move on. Leave now.”
3) if things persist, you must contact YOUR religious leader and ask for help on the situation.
Good luck. I will be praying for you.
I’m no ghost expert, but all this advice looks good to me. Also, I read in a this in a book:
Next time you hear, see, feel, whatever this ghost say: “What in the name of the Lord do you want?” and it will go away (at least for a while)
i have lived in my house for the past 7 years my 6yr old daughter recently said that she could feel something watching her in her room. I thought she was playing up as i was a non believer , up until a week ago when i actually heard it run through my bedroom , were my two daughters were sleeping. when i ran upstairs it switched the taps on in my bathroom. i then got a medium in who told me it was a housebound ghost . he asked the ghost to leave but it wont. i then called a priest out because my daughter said it wanted to kill us , she drew a coffin with our names on the back. When i asked her why she drew it she told me that a little girl who was sat with her told her to only there wasn’t a little girl anywhere , straight away i called the local priest who came straight away and blessed my house , after my house was blessed the ghost did not leave it was so angry that it starting throwing things around, i left the house that instant and have not been back through fear of my children being hurt so whatever you decide to do just be very careful .
