Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Many strange paranormal occurrences have been happening in my house since I turned fifteen, a year after the death of my father. The first occurrence happened one night after dinner. My family and I were in the living room watching a movie for family night, when the pan that we had cooked chicken in slammed down on top of the stove. I saw this as I was walking back into the kitchen to get a drink. Everyone in the room was silent.

The second happening occurred again after dinner about a week later. This time it was just me and me sister watching TV. The TV started going off and on, and volume going up and down. We could hear the buttons clicking! If I would not have heard the buttons clicking I would have thought it was just the TV having a short out. We tried to tell our mother, but she didn’t believe us and threw out the TV.

Those occurrences were not really as scary to us as they were entertaining,not to mention I finally had proof that ghost were real. Although the strange stuff stopped happening for a while, you could every now and then hear a slight whisper that wasn’t easy to translate. For about a year nothing really happened, and then one night I woke up to sounds that I really can’t describe.

Every now and then, as I lay in bed awake, I could hear what sounded like something being dragged and then a heavy thud. After that I heard what sounded like to me someone gurgling on a liquid. I laid in bed from 3:30 that morning until the alarm went off for school. When the lights finally came on I wanted to cry. My sister had been awoken from the same noises as I had and was so scared, that when I called for her, she was afraid to answer me.

We heard the same noises again about 2 months later. Then everything stopped for a while. We began to think that maybe the ghost was just passing through, but now we don’t think that anymore. Things began happening again, such as: objects being thrown around, a fan moving while I was in our bedroom, figures seen in the foyer between our bedroom and living room, and ever deep voices in the house.

But now for the last four months its been pretty quiet. Just the occasional missing objects from our house and small things. We found out that a man had killed himself in my mothers bedroom and that there is also a young girl haunting us. My mother saw her, she now believes in ghost. I hope things stay nice and peaceful… with no scary stuff happening for a while. Maybe I’ll be able to stay in my bedroom when I sleep for now on.
