True Ghost Tales

When I was a young girl, around twelve I would say, I lived with my father, step-mother, and step-brother in a big green two story house in Whitney, Texas. This was a small town. Everybody knew everyone. We bought the house about a year ago, and I remember asking the realty lady if the house was haunted. She claimed it wasn’t, but after my experience I had one night in my room, I knew she was unsubstantial.

One night, while I was sleeping in my room, I got woken up by someone. The first thought in my head was it’s my dad. Half asleep, I saw something in white. Her face was blurry. It seemed like she was trying to wake me up and tell me something. I thought it was a girl because of her hair. She didn’t surprise me all that bad which was weird. I just rolled over and went back to sleep. Whatever it was, I never got any evil vibe from her. I didn’t really believe in ghosts and demons, but after this night I experienced, I started to believe.

The next morning, I didn’t really think to tell my parents. What if they didn’t believe me? I didn’t want to seem crazy. Later I put it in my head that I was just dreaming, but was I? It felt so real.

That night, while I was on the phone with my boyfriend, I heard tapping on the outside of my door. I thought it was my dad coming in to tell me to get off the phone. I waited for him to walk in but he never did. So I got up and looked behind the door. There was no one around. It startled me, because I was sure I heard someone.

A few years later, I moved out with my real mother in east Texas. I got a phone call one rainy night from my dad saying that he heard someone upstairs. I believed him. My dad is not the type of person that would just lie about anything. He’s a good Christian man.

A couple years later, I moved back in with my dad and we never heard or seen anything since 2003. Now its 2010, and I don’t hear anything. Maybe her soul got set free. Whatever it was, she was a good ghost. But I’ll never forget that night. I have never had any other experiences like that so far. But we will see. Now I believe in spirits. And if you don’t, I’m pretty sure they will give you a reason to make you believe!
