Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

I am a 15 year old boy who lives with his father in Hayward, California. I just moved into a new house that made me feel strange. Not long after we moved in and got everything settled, I started to experience paranormal things.

The first night I was in bed and I heard a small girl laughing. Thinking it was my five year old sister I got up and walked into the room. Nobody was there. I paused for a moment because I felt like I was being watched. I walked towards my room and I saw a small shadow walk in my room. It was strange, I walked into my room and nobody was there.

A few weeks after that event, I was home alone. I was in my living room watching television. I heard the same laughter as I did before. I turned off the television and saw a little girl in the reflection of the screen. I got up and ran outside. I calmed myself down and walked to the door. It was locked. I remembered I had left the door open. I looked at the window and saw a small figure looking at me.

After a few hours my father came home and I had told him what happened. He put up a cross on a doorway thinking it would help.

The next day after I went to look at the cross in the doorway. I was shocked because it was torn apart and turned upside down. My father has not done anything about this. Weeks after that occurrence, I was asleep and awoken to a slap to my face and a push off my bed. There was nobody besides me in the room. After that had happened, I heard small footsteps coming towards me. I shouted “Go away!” and they stopped. My experiences did not stop there.

I soon realized that this spirit is following me. Everywhere I went I hear the spirit talking to me. I’ve seen it on the public bus after school, the cemetery, and my other family members houses. I haven’t come to a logical explanation yet. I don’t know what to do? If I should get help from a priest or just ignore the spiritual activities that happen to me. I need help with this ghost girl.

The only description I have of her is she has long black hair, a white dress, and she’s three feet tall. I have already tried communicating with her through a Ouija board and having a séance. I left a camera to record a night of activity, but when I checked the camera the tape was destroyed, as if she knew what I was trying to do. What I’m doing is only making her upset.

After these events I continue to see her, and have contact with her. Such as her pulling my hair, whispering in my ear when I am asleep, and opening my door. I have no idea what to do anymore. I need help, advice, anything I can get to make her go away.
