My name is Audrina. I am 16 and I currently live in Georgia. My family and I had just moved into our house, built in 1859, in June and it was used as a refuge for soldiers during the civil war. It was pretty and it was like you would imagine-sprawling wrap-around porch, big and all that good stuff. I have three dogs, two american pitbull terriers named blade and carnation who will be one in december and another 9 year old mut(rottweiler, pitbull and chow chow). Thats off the subject though. I am a believer in the paranormal and can actually see ghosts. I was cleaning out the basement because my mom had told me to go and see if anything was down there-boy was there ever! I was just clearing out the last box when i heard a scratching what seemed behind the wall. I blew it off as a rat, but if it had been a rat, it would have had to be a mutant rat. i am native american and i am sort of superstious. As I was walking up my mom called to tell me that while I was cleaning the attic she had gone out to get some more groceries. She left me in charge of Lauren, my 4 month old sister. I got the baby because I heard her crying and we played. I fed her and everything seemed normal. I had even managed to forget about the scratching.

As I lay in my bed that night, I could have sworn I heard a little girl crying. my 4 year old sister couldn't have been crying because she was with my father. It seemed to be coming from my bathroom. i went and checked and there was this little malnourished girl. She was dressed in old fashioned clothes and had laserations on her neck. "Whats wrong?" i asked her, but she never answered because she completely disappeared.

After that incident I decided I would want to do some research on the place. I had learned it had burials there, and lots of them. I was completely freaked out. I told my mom and she said we'll live it out for a couple of months. I was in the living room watching the hills and I heard a terrifying, blood-curdling scream. I investigated it and nothing was down there.

I continue to live in the house and have lots of unusual things happen. It doesnt bother me at all anymore, espcially since I know that a ghost named Anna walks the grounds.
