Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

I’m an 18 year old with visions.

The disturbances first started when I was around eight or nine years old. I was living in my grandmothers house in a place called Campbellstown, it is located inside a city. People say that its haunted because there is a graveyard there. My house was two roads away from the graveyard, however, I do not believe that this graveyard has anything to do with the encounters. I’m sorry if I’m wandering but all the above info is relevant.

My elder sister, who is a year older than me, had the first experience. One day as she and I were sitting in our room (she was ten and I nine I think), she told me that last night she heard a knock on the window. I never believed her because I always fell asleep before her so I thought she was a bit crazy to suggest that, so she told me that she would wake me up the next time she heard it.

That night, she woke me… and I did hear it, my body froze. Many nights after that I heard the knocks on the window and sometimes around 1 am and 2 am in the morning, there would be knocks on the kitchen door. And each time I heard it I would be paralyzed and my breathing rapid. When I told anyone, my sister would deny it. My mothers aunt told me never to open the window because “it” wants to come in.

About a year later I had my first encounter. I never used to pray or anything as I was a child and couldn’t care less. My sister and I were laying awake in bed. I turned over to my side of the bed which was close to the wall, and I saw it. A black hooded figure that held out its arm to me, the way someone would grab a person by the throat. I quickly turned over to my sisters side. She said (I quote) “Simone, look at what’s on your side.” I replied that I know, and I quickly shut my eyes and fell off to sleep.

Year after year I kept having horrific nightmares and still do. I remember where the devil was on a cross the way that Jesus is depicted, just last night I heard a knock on the window for the fist time since we moved in our new house a year ago.
