Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

This is a true story about not only one ghost story but one about my brothers old apartment but I feel its important to inform people of real paranormal experiences. I’m a very religious person so I know what I experience is authentic in the house I used to live in that used to be an old dump in Gulfport that also was my mothers childhood home. I’ve experienced things I could never explain there was always a weird feeling in the place but things got worse.

Over time things started happening to not only me but my brother, sister, and mother. At one point of living there I got a cat from Petsmart. When he first came he never acted strange but not too long after we got him he started following things that we could not see. He would also run away very fast and meow wildly as if something was tormenting him. It was him first the entities would torment.

Then some nights when I would sleep in my room my sister would sleep with my mom so I was alone with no one but my cat with me. He would sleep on the top bunk, sometimes he’d sleep with me. A lot of nights I would feel the metal bunk bed shaking. It would sometimes be my cat cleaning himself on the top bunk but what startled me is sometimes it would happen when he was on the bottom bunk with me staying completely still. He would also look up in curiosity as to what it was. At first I tried to ignore it but I knew there was no explanation for it. It finally became a nightly routine and I learned to deal with it.

The most frightening experience I had was one night when my cat was on the top bunk and I decided to sleep on the bottom bunk at the foot of the bed. In the middle of the night I was awoken by a sudden feeling of something right behind me. I felt a hand slowly shaking my shoulder up and down. My whole upper sternum was moving. I was in shock so I didn’t look behind me. Finally I did when it stopped and no one was behind me. I was so scared I took my cat and ran to sleep with my mother and sister. I never slept there for a long time.

My sister had an experience. Crystal was in my room one night and she was watching TV on the floor. My brother was on the bed asleep. She heard something behind her. She thought it was me. She said, “Brittany what are you doing?” and then she saw it run. I was in the living room watching TV the whole time. She was also playing hide and seek with someone who looked like me and discovered I was outside the whole time.

My brother once saw someone that looked like my sister when we were about to go to Wal-Mart. We were outside. I would also have terrible thoughts in that place every time I thought of something Holy I would think of something evil and it was beyond my control. It finally all ended when the home was destroyed in hurricane Katrina.

The story of my brothers apartment was equally as scary. He used to live in Edgewater Bend Apartments by the mall with his girlfriend and two kids Lana and Eligha. When I first walked into that place it felt like there were demons all in it. The first night I stayed there I was on the floor with Eligha. Fortunately I heard footsteps, I also heard sounds of my sneaker slapping the floor. They were on the kitchen floor right next to the living room.

The second night I stayed not right after I heard the same thing the third night after again not right after I also heard the same thing but this time I felt something playing with my hair. The very last night I stayed before they moved I was alone in the living room and they left the hall light on for me. I decided to sleep on the couch fearing I’d hear the footsteps by me. Something told me to bring my Jesus cross that night. Thank God I did. I prayed for God to protect me because I knew these weren’t human spirits. I became overwhelmed by his presence and felt better. I grasped the cross in my hand. I only heard one thing that night, it was a snap as if someone snapped their finger. I was scared but I felt comforted by my cross. I also don’t miss that place when they moved, I was glad.

The strange thing is I live right next to it in Palm Isle Apartments but nothing happens here thank God. At one point when they first moved in they heard the commode slam shut when nobody was there. Also Eligha started to act strange as if he was possessed by a demon. Well I hope you like my true stories and remember stay close to God he’s the only one who can truly protect you.
