I never believed in ghosts, until i moved into an old apartment complex which used to be one giant house, we stumbled upon this place due to the particularly cheep rent. We moved in an all was quite our neighbors were very nice an it seemed quit homey, until one day my neighbor said to me "Have you seen it yet? i asked what? he perceeded to tell me about a ghost that has been haunting his family,

I shrugged it off thinking this guy is a lunatic well one night me an my wife were sitting in the kitchen when my nieghbor came over, we had the surround sound going in the livingroom an all was well suddenly my stereo turned up very loud, we all ran into the livingroom to see what the deal was, after turning the stereo down my nieghbor said to me that it was the ghost, i laughed an again shrugged it off,

then what happend next still brings tears to my eyes an sends chills up my spine, we then heard a loud screeching noise coming from the kitchen, when we went in my dryer was sittin in the middle of the room, I started to believe.

after that little things would happen nothing to big, a noise here an there things i learned to live with, i had spoken to my mothers fiance about these occurances, an he being a holy man asked me if he could bless the house.. I told him no.. that i thought that it would make matters worse he did anyway, things were really quite for about a month or so then the spirit turned into a polterguise,

we would wake up with claw marks on our bodys, the house was violent, i would go into my work out room an work out only to come out of the room with claw marks on my cheast, my wife would get them on the inside of her thighs it was scary, these entities were starting to show themselves. screaming would occur, my punching bag would start moving on its own,

finally to make a long story short, when i had first moved in i was checking out the basment an noticed what i thought was a shrine of some sort on the back side of the stairs, I left it alone. Me an the wife went away for the holidays, we came back January 3 to find that our pipes have frozen so in attempt to unthaw these pipes i went down stairs with my father an heated the pipes, an while i was down there i decided to rip down that shrine, once the water flows we went up stairs i watch some TV an went to bed.

About 3am we were awoken by a knock at my door it was the landlord tellin me to get out there was a fire i looked into the kitchen there were flames pooring out, the house was completly saturated with black smoke. we all got out saftly however i had 4 smoke detectors, on the house , an not a single one went off...
