First Real Fright

 

I was only about 4 or 5 when this happened. My mom had tucked me into bed and went back down to the basement where they were fixing it up a bit. I believe they were putting carpet down that day. I'm almost asleep when I feel a hand rest on my shoulder. I turn around expecting to see one of my parents... but nothing. I look down at the floor to see if my dog may have touched my shoulder with his nose then layed down, but to my horror... I was the only one (that I could see) in my room.

I jumped out of my bed and ran down to the basement as fast as my little body could make itself go. I went down to find my parents and dog down there. When I asked if anyone was in my room and touched my shoulder, they said no, took me back upstairs to tuck me in. They said it must have been my imagination.

We moved from that house about 5 or 6 years ago. In the new house, I almost always have the feeling of being watched. I see things move out of the corner of my eye. I also hear footsteps every now and then. I sense someone, or thing, with me when I'm almost positive that I'm alone.

Two to three years ago, I'd hear very faint laughing every once in a good while. Also about a year ago, when I was trying to get to sleep, I felt a cool breeze (or breath?) on my face. I also tend to see faint or quick glances of shadows that are there, then they're not.

What do you think? These things still give me the creeps!

I had the exact same experience happen to me in a condo I lived in from when I was 16-22 years of age. One morning when I was in my late teen's, I woke up and definitely felt a hand on my arm. It was so real I fully thought it was my mother attempting to wake me up. I looked up and...nothing. Not even my cats were around. I assumed at the time it was the ghost of my great-grandfather (to whom I was very close), but I can't be sure.

My house is like yours in the way that I always have the feeling of being watched and I see things. I don't think that they mean any harm. I always have the feeling of being watched and of a cool breeze and once or twice I've seen things. There's nothing to worry about.

That was an intresting story, thanks for sharing.

This one isn't that scary, but it sounds true because if you do get a visit from a ghost it doesn't have to be scary. Nice story can't wait to hear from you soon!:)

Man. I just hate it how parents say, "It's just your imagination." How do they have proof. To answer your story loveable-outcast, this ghost is probably wanting to play feindish pranks on you for its own amusement. If you told it to stop, and it didn't, try and find a way to get rid of it, like praying or something. Good luck, if you haven't gotten rid of it yet.
