Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

I’m a university student, living with my family and before that never believed in ghosts. A few months ago I bought a small necklace with crucifix – something I had wanted for a while, with a very reasonable price. I bought it from an esoteric shop (it may sound a bit strange, but they sell crosses and Buddhas and instruments from other religions all side by side). Since then weird things have happened. I have never heard about religious or quite new things haunting: there were many of similar kind of crucifixes in this shop and none of them seemed particularly ancient.

Anyway, I took it home and in a few days started to notice weird things happening. It wasn’t where I left it (on my table) and nobody of my family confessed that they have moved it. When I went to my aunt’s place for a week I took it with me. I heard strange noises at night that I have never heard before. I wore it around my neck then.

When I got back home I remember putting it on the bathroom shelf… and finding it next day hanging from the corner of my locker (relatively high, I have no reason to put anything on the top of it).

A few weeks passed, nothing special happened and I started to forget the whole thing until I found that crucifix was missing from my jewel case. I found it from my little sisters room on the window sill. She said she has never seen it or touched it before. She also had bad dreams during time before I found the necklace in her room (she went to sleep in mother’s bed).

Now I have trouble getting rid of it – if I throw it away somebody else might find it, metal and glass doesn’t burn either. What should I do?
