This is a true story. Me and my family where about to buy a house in the country side in the middle of no-where. It was just me, my little brother and my mum. I didn’t want to move, nor did my brother, but my mum had her heart set on buying it. It was a lovely little cottage.
When the moving day finally came, I was quite excited but very fearful. I was used to living in the city. As soon as I set foot in the house, something felt wrong, like a disaster was waiting to happen. And here’s where my story begins:
It was my second night in the new house, and there was a storm outside. There was a tree scratching on my window which was a little freaky. Suddenly, my window just swung open. It made me jump like hell! But I thought nothing of it and went to sleep.
The next night, I made sure my window was tightly shut and got into bed. There wasn’t a storm that night, which was a bit of a relief. Anyway, there I was, quite late at night, lying in my bed. I started to feel bumps coming from under my bed but I was too scared to look under. Because my window has no curtains, the moon light was shining in on me. Suddenly something caught the corner of my eye. There was a human figure standing in the moon light. It was a child, just standing there staring at me.
“Joe” (my little brother), I said. “I know its you so just go to bed.” I heard breathing. Then it’s hands went up and it put its head in its hands. It was muttering something but I couldn’t make out what it was saying. Then I realized I had been so stupid because I had shut my bedroom door when I went to bed and it was still shut, so it couldn’t have been my brother because it hadn’t been opened since. My window hadn’t opened either. Who was it? It had stopped muttering now and was curled up in a ball. I heard cries and I was really scared. I was too scared to go to my mums room. Too scared to breath even.
I held my breath and shut my eyes tight. When I opened them it had gone. I was relieved that it was my imagination but horrified when I realized it wasn’t! it was right beside my bed. It was real and I wasn’t imagining! I screamed and my mum and brother came running in. I told them what happened and mum said we will discuss it in the morning. I slept in mums room that night.
Next morning when we where having breakfast, I told them what happened again. Mum said it was a dream. It was there again the next night. Then, when I was in bed looking at it (because it was there again) it disappeared into the ground. I heard creaking in the floor boards. Then all of a sudden I felt something tickling my arm. I tried to flinch it but I couldn’t move my own arm! Something was holding it down and I screamed again. Mum and my brother came in again and mum looked at my arm. It was bleeding loads but I couldn’t feel it. I couldn’t even feel mum touching it, it was completely numb. At least I could move it again.
Mum got me and my brother in the car and drove me straight to the hospital. It needed stitches. I told the nurse what happened and at first she didn’t believe me but then my mum told her it was all true.Then the nurse found loads of teeth and claw marks on the other side of my arm.
We never went back to that house again, we left all our stuff in it and just abandoned it. We stayed at our Nan’ and one day we went to the police station and asked about that house. They said that hundreds of years ago an anti-Christian family lived there and there father went crazy and killed his wife and kids by scratching and biting them to death and then he slit his own wrists and killed himself. That’s what was doing that to me. It was probably crying because he killed his family, I don’t know. So that’s my ghost experience.
This is a true story. It frightened the life out of me!

Hells bells! That’s nasty, I’ve seen many, many weird things in my life, I’ve even been scratched like that by some of them, but nothing that ever required stitches! It’s a shame your family had to abandon ship, but you did the smart thing.
Wow…Sounds like something wanted you out of there, FAST!
I would be careful…
I know next to nothing about this paranormal stuff, so I suppose all I can say is that if you are physchically inclined, reply to the feeling you get next time, by being careful, or getting the h*** out of there.
All the advice I can give, sorry.
I have to say I believe you- But, a think the child was not the same spirit that bit you. I think the child was trying to tell you….before the dad came for you, in the same way. Very sad….
Must have been scary for you
I would have been freaked out if i were you too….
Good story
IF IT WAS THE MAN WHO KILLED HIS FAMILY THAT HAD DONE THAT TO YOU THEN THE GHOST WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A SMALL CHILD. THE CHILD WAS PROLLY THE SON OF THE MAN. IF THE MAN WAS EVEN THERE THAT IS!!!! I DON’T KNOW IF YOUR AWARE OF THIS OR NOT BUT GHOSTS CANNOT HURT YOU. THEY DONT HAVE THE POWER TO DO SO. SO IF YOUR TELLING THE TRUTH AND THIS REALLY DID HAPPEN THEN I GAURANTEE THAT IT WAS NOT A CHILD AND IT WAS WAS NOT A MAN WHO KILLED HIS FAMILY. IT WAS EVIL. ONLY DEMONS HAVE THE POWER TO PHYSICALLY HARM YOU. IN THAT CASE IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO LEAVE ALTHOUGH SIMPLY REBUKING IT PROLLY WOULD HAVE WORKED.
GREAT story! That scared the pants off me, and I’m pretty jaded!
If this ever happens to you again, yes- rebuke it, and read “Psalms 91″ out loud, it helps to keep a lot of ghost hunters strong in the face of uncertainty.
Hmmm, interesting. I see only one problem with it. The father, could not have been the child you were talking about. I agree with AJ. I believe the child was trying to warn you about his/her father. And, Maecille, that is not true. “Evil” ghosts from my experience, can harm you.
THAT WAS REALLY SCARY!!! BUT THE FIRST NIGHT,I WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT THAT HOUSE. TRUST ME ON THAT!!!
good story..i agree with the possibility it was a demon and the kid was trying to warn you. good thing you guys got out of there! do you remember if the teeth were adult teeth or childrens?
Dang that is crazy. and you had to have stiches? man that is crazy… I would of left tooo…
This is to you and anybody that has a ghost in your house. My friend as seen ghost in her house and when she does she says out loud pleading the blood of Jesus and the ghosts just disappear and they never return try it.
DUde,, If i was to have felt something the first night. I would’ve left in the quickness..
But throughout this story it was good and i liked it.. it scared me.. And im in school!
i am not going to have a good sleep tonight.
I belive it and I also have seen ghosts. I wonder why there are ghost who can manifest themselves in front of us and others you only feel their presense?
H3y thes stories are awsome at first it scared du crap out of me then i got used to it but my cuzins got scared to and didnt want to stay in her room!!!!!!!!!!
ITS AWOSUME LIKE HECK
We lived in a haunted house for 3.5 years then my husband was scratched across his throat, another time the back of his neck(one of the scratches bled).He was “bumped” in the garage by something that left a 6.5″ single scratch down his back, that burned like dry ice. He saw something run under our bed he put his arm under the bed LIGHTS ON and pulled back his arm because it scratched him . During the night It started to leave scratch marks on our daughter. We made her move out. We sold most of our belongings, eventually fled the house in our RV camper. We had no family to go to. “It” tried to divide and conquer. I agree it has to be demons. If you think about it, demons they are nothing but cowards going after young innocent kids,attacking in the night. Your family did the right thing they got out. If I could get away with it and I knew the house was vacant I would burn it to the ground. We asked the neighbors about the house they knew it was haunted, “but I’m sure you will be o.k. ” he said. No family has been able to live in the house for more that 4 years ,other than the original owners, and bad things happened to the families. One lady had her nursing licence taken away. Another woman lost her son to the state. The house was built in 1962 .My family we are doing fine! Our loss was a financial loss.
