Today, my boyfriend and I live in a home
that has spirits. We have known since the first day of
moving in, on witnessing shavers floating about in our shower
stall, that something just wasn’t quite right. My
boyfriend had never experienced living in a home with such
things happening so it took him a little while to totally
believe it. I assured him in time more things would
happen and he couldn’t help but believe. Sure enough, after hearing footsteps when
no one else is there; hearing muffled whispering in our
bedroom at night; feeling the bed sink down as if someone just
sat on it; feeling our mattress shake as we are trying to
sleep; smelling flowery perfume or musk, and then walking
toward where it seems to be, and having the smell disappear;
having our television suddenly go off and then hearing ghostly
sounds coming from the speakers; sitting on the couch watching
TV and feeling something ice cold beside you as if someone
else wants to watch TV, too; and the most compelling, seeing a
spirit standing in our dining room and being able to describe
it as a man wearing a dark navy suit with a top hat. Now
he believes.
Our home is a duplex and my daughter and
her family live on the other side. They, too, have had
their share of experiences, but it appears that their
experiences are not from the same spirit as ours. My
daughter has often seen a black shadow move from the upstairs
bathroom across the hall and into her daughter’s
bedroom. My daughter says that this shadow has the shape
of a woman. On other occasions, my daughter has been
suddenly overtaken by the smell of strong flowery perfume and
there is no perfume on her side of the house. Also, we now have tape recorded evidence
that confirms that the spirit of a young child is also within
this house. From the recording, I would say this child
is 4–5 years old. The child has made itself known on
several occasions in my granddaughter’s bedroom next
door. It enjoys turning on her TV and flipping through
the channels, and playing with toys that she has that either
girls or boys can play with. It recently woke her up in
the middle of the night playing with a cash register she has
on a desk in her room. The noise of the register
bothered her so much she went to her mom’s bedroom to
sleep. Because of the spirits we have living
with us, my boyfriend and I wanted to form a group to help
others with paranormal experiences. I feel that with my
own personal experiences through the years I can help others
learn about the paranormal and how to handle it.
