Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

When I was 10 my family and I moved to a town in South Australia due to personal reasons. We moved into an old house. At first nothing strange happened.

But then one day when I was about 12 I was home alone and it was getting dark, I had just finished dinner and was sitting on the lounge texting one of my best friends when I could smell a funny smell that was best suited for an older person.

At first I thought nothing of it but then I could feel a slight pressure on my right shoulder and the smell was stronger. Then I heard a whisper that sounded like ‘it’s ok. I will protect you’. That’s when there was a knock at the door.

I went up to the door and looked through the key-hole, on the other side I could see a strange figure looking at the door. I heard the whisper again this time it said ‘don’t answer the door’. I trusted the voice and left the door, locking all the windows and turning on all lights.

At about 9:30pm the pressure on my shoulder was gone and I was a bit nervous as to what it could have been, so I decided to do some research on my house.

I started with what I already knew and that was there was a headstone in my backyard and a women had had a heart attack in my house and possibly died. After hours of searching and coming up empty I came across a helpful site. The site told me the women had died in my house and that the headstone belonged to someone at the graveyard and he had a new headstone now.

This was all it took to explain who the present was and that she was a nice lady that wanted to protect me from the strange person outside my house. I go to sleep every night and know that my family and I are protected and she would never hurt us.

Thanks for reading.
