My New House

We moved into a new house the summer before my freshman year of high school, I am now a freshman in college. Friends of mine had moved into my old house and before they moved out we were told that a few weird things had happened to them in that house also. Nothing scary just weird, things that they can't explain.

I believe that in my new house we have a cowboy like man who walks from the side door of my house around the corner and down the hall to my bedroom door and just stands there. On many different occasions we have seen him, if you sit on the couch every now and then you can catch a glimpse of him walking by. He isn't scary, just a shadow. He has never done anything to anyone and I don't believe that he is there all the time. Sometimes you can see his shadow and other times you can't. I wonder if he is there because of something that has happen to him in the past.

I also believe we have a young lady who has long beautiful wavy hair, she's tall, and very thin. I've only encountered her on two occasions, once when I was entering the house. I had many packages in my hand and I was turning off the alarm system and I looked up and she was just standing there in the dining room. Once family stopped by to visit and we they were standing outside, I wasn't there, saying their goodbyes and my Porge ran back inside to use the restroom, they had a long journey home in front of them. When she came outside she went up to my mom and asked her if she has ever had an experience inside the house and my mom's response was "No, but Enjolee has had many. She then continues to tell my mom that we have ghosts in our house, she either felt the ladies presence of saw her. I'm not to sure. After that night my mom became a true believer.

I also believe we have a spirit who likes to inject fear into us. I feel as if I'm always being watched. I consistently look over my shoulder. I feel like I can never get any peace. I hate being home alone and I'm 18 years old. I use to love being home alone, but I will not do it anymore.

There have been many instances that occur in my room. I have turned off my closet light and I get in bed all nice and comfy and turn off the lamp next to my bed and I do so, then look up and my closet light is on again. So I repeat the same steps until the light stays off.

There has been many times when someone or something has played with my hair at night, which puts me to sleep, odd I know but it works. There was this one time where I was in my room on the computer with my back to my HUGE window and all of a sudden I hear a loud BOOM and my whole room shacks. My window is about 7 feet off the ground. There is NO way that any person could have hit my window with that much force and moved anything they used before I ran outside to see. That was the first thing I did. I ran out of my room and ran outside to see what could have done that. There was nothing, just like I figured but I was terrified! I tried to explain everything to my mom but she couldn't understand.

The most terrifying incident that has ever happen to me was when the cross over my door in my bedroom went missing. It was taken off the wall and we couldn't account for it. Then the next day it was back on the wall again, just like it had never went missing. I am a freak about those things. They're has to be a cross above my door. It makes me feel safe, it also has to be blessed by a priest and have holy water on it.

One more thing. There is this unexplainable knocking noise. We hear it only in the living room and it sounds like it's either coming from the front porch or the attic. We had a swing on the front porch but it has been moved because of this noise because we thought that was what it was, but it isn't. After we removed the swing we still heard it, so we had people check the attic. Again, the answer was disturbing, there is NOTHING up there that can make the knocking noise. We have had this problem checked over and over again. Also we have a few leaks in the ceilings one over the toilet in the bathroom that just popped up one day and one over the fire place. We have also had these checked and there is nothing to indicate where it's coming from or why the leaking is happening. I'm not sure if our leaking problem is because of something supernatural but it's starting to make me wonder.

Everything that goes on in my house is something that I have learned to cope with. I have also learned to take it day by day and not to under estimate the power of the supernatural. Friends of mine are scared to be left in the house alone or to be in certain rooms alone. Only one friend of mine can account for most of the things that have happened. She has witnessed some of the doings herself.

I'm sorry this is so long. I hope you enjoyed. Please let me know if you have anything that you can offer. Thank you so much!
