Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Hi my name is China and I live in Michigan. I haven’t really experienced anything, at least I don’t think but I believe in ghosts, and am very afraid to come across in seeing one. I love listening to ghost stories but I’m afraid sometimes. My grandma believes in not talking about it too much or they would hear and come to you or something? But I don’t know. And I just started coming to this site to read a few stories, which are amazingly good by the way, but just last night after reading a few more stories before I went downstairs into my bedroom to sleep, I laid there for like an hour and couldn’t fall asleep because of this knocking happening over my head. I don’t know if it was in the wall? Or what? It sounded like it was happening in a pattern. It would knock a few times, stop… and so on.

I was getting freaked out so I turned on a movie and it stopped, even when I turned it off to go to sleep. I didn’t fall asleep till 6:00 am. But that’s my question, do you think it’s all in my head, maybe starting to get a little paranoid? I don’t know but I hope I’m not over reacting to this. I was always afraid of my older cousins house (who were like brothers to me). I hated sleeping the night but you know I’m just a kid and I would always think to myself, just fall asleep and I would wake up to daylight soon. But the thing is I would always wake up in the middle of the night and start staring into the dark (sometimes I even stare into my closet). I think to myself why am I doing this? Am I looking to see if I might see something? Do I want to see something? Cause I know I don’t! Or else I’ll start crying my brains out. I’m now 17 and know if I encounter something I’ll be to afraid to move and start crying. So I would sleep with the covers over my head and I would be sweating like crazy! I just didn’t want to look around the room already feeling freaked out and being even more freaked.

I always would have a weird feeling about being in any room by myself so I would follow my cousins everywhere. I guess maybe the reason for me feeling this way is because they would always scare me and would at night, play around and tell me “they are going to leave me alone with the ghost” and they would turn off the light and make me cry. And now, not that he is trying to scare anybody, one of my cousins had stories to tell that in that same house before they moved (not because of that reason)… about a really pale naked lady screaming and attacking him. Like punching him in his sleep. And for a while he wouldn’t sleep or else sleep with the lights on. And other things happened that I don’t remember but it seems to follow him everywhere and it doesn’t seem to be the same one either. The other brothers never had anything happen to them or ever heard anything. And neither have I.

When they moved into the Woodfield Apartments, I was also having weird vibes especially when I was there by myself. I would always look behind me and turn on all the lights. They would be gone for like 20 minutes. So I guess their father is like a monk type of thing. I don’t really know. But he prays and meditates a lot. And I guess he had a vision that their were two ghosts in the apartment building they were staying in. And I don’t know all of it in detail but he said that their was a ghost that sleeps with him in his bed (the oldest one) and the other brother that I hang out with mostly, he said to not worry because it only happens to his older brother (sorry if it maybe confusing cause I’m not giving any names).

My question about this one is that how come he is getting picked on by these “ghosts” and no one else? The half of my family I stay with are Buddhist others are Christians. One of my cousins said their aren’t really ghosts ‘in’ the house but we found out by a psychic lady in Laos said that there’s an old couple who stays in the red car that they use to have in the garage, and my grandma said she seen them when she went through the garage to go outside. Also there was one living in the big tree in the back yard. My uncle that was staying in there downstairs said that he knew about it because he would always leave the shades open and when he was watching TV, it would be outside standing there watching TV with him.

There are so many more I can tell you guys, but I’ll probably write another story about ‘em some other time if you guys are still interested.
