Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Ever since my sister and I were small we felt we had something following us. We lived in an apartment with my mother and father at the time and we would always have mysterious things happen to us. I had over heard my mother at one time mention that while she was at the sink doing dishes something had touched her on the shoulder and she had become very cold.

My sister and I shared a room together, as a kid I always had very vivid nightmares. One night both my sister and I were still awake when all of a sudden in the corner of our room a loud sound and movement. There was nothing else in our room, just us, we continued to have things happen like this for some time, things would also go missing and were never, ever found.

My father has been diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic and we noticed that after he left this seemed to calm down.

My sister then moved in with my aunt, my aunts boyfriend and our cousin. They lived in a very old house over 100 years old, that was actually built by the family that originated on that lot. My aunt had a very large dog, a king Doberman and when he and my sister were alone strange things would happen. This dog also was paranoid to stay in the basement of this house, there was no way you could get him to go down those stairs. At night the dog would look up at the ceiling and seem like it was following something along the walls, he would be whining and carrying on like someone else was there. This freaked my sister out, she hated being alone in that house.

As kids we use to stay with my aunt in that house and I remember when you walked up the stairs to the bedrooms or the bathroom, the window on the stairs overlooked the family graveyard, every time we had to go past that window we would not look and jump very quickly past it. I personally always felt like someone was watching me when I was in that house and would not stay there alone.

One day my sister was alone in the house and this was during the day. She had let the dog out, the dog was very strong and was always running after people on bikes on the street so it was attached by a huge chain to a cement brick. My sister could hear the dog barking so she looked out the kitchen window which also overlooked the graveyard. At the far back of the fence in the bushes she saw something that was white, looked like it was covered with hair, possibly an old man but she said more like Bigfoot, it was very large and was staring at her not moving. She thought she was seeing things so she went out to the front porch to get the dog and realized the dog had seen the same thing and was trying to run towards the graveyard. My sister was so spooked she ran after the dog and grabbed a hold of his collar all the while making sure not to take her eyes off of this thing lurking at her.  It finally moved and the bushes did move so she feels she was not seeing things and the fact that the dog seemed to have seen the same thing just made goosebumps appear all over her body. To this day she still feels a chill when she talks about it.

Has anyone else had this same experience with a similar entity? Please let me know. Thanks.
