My partner and I live in a house his family have owned for generations.
I have been told stories of paranormal events that have taken place in this house and have heard footsteps, knocking and voices but it had never bothered me because my partner believes that the spirits in this house are his family members that have passed away.
I had never felt threatened by any entity in this house until about 3 months ago.
Our house has a den and a lounge room, a glass sliding door seperates the two rooms, the den is about 6 inches lower than the rest of the house because it was built onto the house only a few years ago.
The front door is a glass sliding door also, I keep both doors locked at night and I draw the blinds on the front door but never the door that divides the den and lounge.
About 3 months ago I decided to watch a movie in the lounge because my partner was home from work and wanted to sleep, he can't sleep with the tv on.
It was about 12am when I decided to get up and use the bathroom, as I sat up I looked towards the den and saw a black figure standing on the other side of the glass door, my heart sank in my chest because after a few seconds it ducked behind the blinds and vanished.
I didn't want to show fear so I sat back down and tried to pretend I didn't see it, but this unrelenting fear came over me and I had to make a quick dash to my room where I woke my partner up to check the house. No one was found.
About a week after that I was woken by my dog barking at 2am, usually I put him in his pen way down the back yard in the corner but I had forgotten to that night, he barked for an hour so I got up and went outside with my phone as a flash light to lock him up.
While I was walking down to the pen I noticed a figure in my neighbors back yard, thinking it was my neighbor out for a smoke in the dark I kept heading towards the pen.
I got to the pen when my dog started acting very unusual, he was growling and bearing his teeth, he had never shown any sign of agression in the 5 years I've had him until that night, I looked over the fence again and the figure was crouched down against the fence only 5 meters away from me.
I screamed, dropped my poor dog and took off running for the house.
Nothing has happened since then but my neighbors have put up iron sheets on the fence so that you can't see through.
2 weeks ago the paranormal came up in conversation and my partner told me that our neighbors daughter has a demonic entity attached to her that makes her sick and that's why she doesn't go to school, they've had a priest in the house but it keeps coming back.
Is it possible that whatever is attached to her can wonder over here? And if it can, how do I keep it out?
My dog is an outside dog because my partner has 2 kids that are allergic to him and I had no other option but to leave him outside.
My partner was given the information by the neighbours. They have taken her to the doctors, and specialists but she has never been diagnosed. They have had a psychic/medium in the house aswell. We have also seen people doing what I thought was a smoking ceremony next door.
Just to clarify, my neighbors are decent people, I've been over to their house, they have a nice home and never have domestics, we never have problems with them, they own a buisness and are good to their children.
I have had experiences in this house before and after these incidents, but they were very different, non threatening and even a few funny experiences like the ones my partner had described.
So it was not a spirit that resides here normally.
