Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Well this is just one of my many paranormal experiences. I’m from California and I’m 16 and when I write this it is 2010. For as long as I can remember I’ve always had paranormal things happen to me and I believe that I get the ability to see, hear, and sense spirits from my father because he had many many paranormal things happen to him. But anyway here’s my story.

Fell when I was four I moved from San Jose, California to a tiny town two hours away. The house was nice, small but nice. It was the kind of suburban neighborhood where all the neighbors knew each other and respected one another. At the time when I moved in there were no children my age so I wasn’t social but I had a creative imagination or what I thought was my imagination.

I recall having an imaginary friend in my old home. I don’t remember all her features but it was a little girl with very light almost white hair but it still had that yellowish tint in it and I remember that she had this beautiful white dress that I was always envious of. I would always tell my mom to buy me one like the girl, she would always ask what girl and I would point to her but my mom would never see anything.

I only saw the little girl for a few months then it seemed like she disappeared forever (until years later when she showed up again in my new house twice but that’s a different story) so being the curious 4 or 5 year old I was, I looked for her but could never find her but I met someone else kinda.

I say kinda because I never actually talked to it. In my old house we had a hallway which went straight but then splits in two making a T shape. Every time I would look into the hallway I would always see a black figure go by really fast and every time it did I would run down the hall looking for it, but obviously never found it. At this point I didn’t know what ghost were and so I would always call it the ninja (yes its silly I know) and every time someone asked me what I was looking at or asked what I was looking for in the hallway I would always say I was looking for the ninja. My parents thought it was cute and that I was being a typical 4 or 5 year old with an over active imagination, until one day.

My parents have worked at flea markets even before I was born, so my aunt would take care of me at times (she lived in the town already). So the first time she took care of me she decided to braid my hair, it was very long, and I said tia tia (aunt in Spanish) did you see it! And she said see what? I said “the ninja” she got freaked out and we left the house and went to McDonalds. She told my parents and they got worried so they had the house blessed and it worked for that ghost.

There’s another ghost that even when I think about her gives me chills all over my body. Well from the get go I hated being in my room alone day or night, especially night. I don’t know why I did I just always felt that it was bad in there and I would literally have my dad sit on my bed and have him stay there until I fell asleep, which would take me hours at time to do. I would always wake up with scratches on my legs and arms, of course I would look around my bed and test to see if I could get scratches from the bed or surrounding objects but no, always unexplainable scratches. So one night I get a sense of total and complete terror that right now I’m shaking from remembering that night, I shot straight up and sat up-right in my bed to see a lady in white in my door way. I yelled for my dad but by the time he came she had already gone. I’ve seen her a few more times after that but my parents never believed me.

Years later in 2005 we moved out of that house and now my uncle is renting it and my cousins have told me that they’ve seen the lady in white and I’ve never told them about her prior to that because my mom didn’t want them to feel scared. They’ve told me that they have seen her in my old room and the garage. I was glad that they had seen it because no one believed me before so it made me feel good to know I wasn’t crazy.

Sadly the only ones in my house that see spirits are me and my dad. So when I tell my mom she kind of just ignores me but since I’ve found this website and read these stories from real people it makes me feel good that I know I’m not the only one having these experiences. I’ve tried to do research on the property but I cant seem to find a website to show history of land but I’m going to my local library to see if they have some old files. So leave your comments and opinions I would love to know what you think.
