Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Well, it all started when I was 5. Although I don’t remember any of this, my grandmother always told me that when I would get in trouble and be sent to my room, I would shut off all the lights, shut the door, and sit cross-legged in front of my closet. One night my grandmother walked past my door and heard me talking. At first she thought I was talking to my sister, but she was in the living room. She opened the door to hear me answering questions and also asking them. This went on for a few weeks until my grandma (momo) asked me who I was speaking to. and I would always say, “the man in the closet.” Even though I would say that, momo would look and no one would be there. (naturally).

That very night my grandma was awakened by a shadow of my mother shaking her foot repeatedly. Finally when my mom stopped she motioned for momo to follow her. The shadow exited through the open door. And my grandma followed only to find my mother in the other room, claiming not to have moved from where she was. Well four years later (when I was like 9) I was going to bed at my friends new house (he was 12). Since his room wasn’t made up yet we both slept on the couch. We weren’t sleepy so we just talked until his mom got on to us and started yelling. we both just laid there until suddenly I heard a guys voice calling my name. by quote “Sarah….Sarahhh.” I then poked Matthew (my friend) and found him snoring lightly. That morning Matthew awoke with a huge bruised hand print on his shoulder. Those few things were the only things that happened for another 3 years.

When I was 12 Matthew pulled out a Ouija board while I was in his room and he said that it would be fun, and since I had a crush on him I said ok. When we started I felt kind of silly, we asked small questions like “What’s your name?” and it would say “Satan.” when it did that I told Matthew to quit playing around and stop moving it I saw his face and knew he was as shocked as I was. Well we asked another. “Are there any spirits with us?” and it said “More than you think”. we played a bit more that put it up because it was movie night and the adults were asleep, so me and Matthew settled in on the couch to watch a Lion King movie. We sat side by side, under a blanket and when he tried to hold my hand, Matthew literally Flew off the couch and onto the floor. But when I tried to get up to help him I found I couldn’t move. it was like a man was pressing all his weight on me, and slowly it got harder to breath. Until I couldn’t breath at all. Then suddenly both of the corner of my eye I saw a bright light illuminate the living room and all the pressure went away and Matt was beside me holding me against him crying. That was when I realized I was crying too.

I asked him what happened and he said, by quote “I saw Satan choking you, but then the man came and everything is better now.” I remembered about telling Matt about the man in the closet and describing him to him. Ever since then I have seen spirits, including my guardian angel (the closet man) and me and Matthew are now together. And I’ve seen some bad spirits too but now I know I can count on my guardian to save me
