I purchased my house in Sacramento CA on October 30th 2004. It was such a deal! During this period, the market value of the houses in the area was escalating. My concept was to make extra income for the time I'm in Sacramento.

The first three months that I was in the house, it was like an earrie feeling. It was only my little 2 year son and I who lived in the house at first. At night, I heard knocking on the walls. The first night I was in the house, my son and I slept in the living room. I covered the floor with blankets and pillows. We didn't have any furnitures yet. Each night I would look up, I felt something earrie as if someone was staring at us. My house had a 19 ft ceiling looking at the hall way upstairs, it felt weird. I would get ready early at about 0400 am, then I would go in one of the rooms where I scattered my laundry, to search for clothes to wear. I felt as if all the hair from my head was raising up. I just said to my self what is it? I felt cold air around me. I just talk my self out of it and told my self it is cold outside and I knew that is why its cold in that room. Days went by, I had to get some answers to why there was knockings on the walls. I asked my realtor, he said the woods are settling.

One morning at about 0200 am, I used the bathroom, as I was urinating, a knock on the wall like a little tap 6 times went on. I spoke and said, leave me alone! I panic! The first thing on my mind was, where is my bible! I dug the boxes, scattered every thing on the floor and found my bible. At 0300 am, I was reading my Bible loudly Psalm 23 over and over and over.

Each night I was suspecting something is wrong. I found a church around the area. A Christian affiliation Ministry, I attended their Sunday Services and then I invited them to Bless the House. The worst it got. What ever it was got angry!

So I don't feel alone, I hired a live in Nanny to stay with my son. The Nannie claimed each night something was blowing on her feet. Something would lift up her blankets and blow on her. She claimed she heard giggling in the room when she would get afraid! I work the 2nd shift, so normally I would be home by midnight. The incidents became worst. She would call me at work claiming something had opened the garage door and would bang on the door or ring the door bell. Then she said she heard books falling, but there was no books there. She said, she would hear the door slamming but the door was open.

The outcome of it all, she resigned. I then hired another person, a male child care provider who lived with us again. During the interview, he said he don't believe in Ghost! Good for me, maybe the 1st Nannie and I were just hallucinating!

The first day the Male sitter work for me, he only work for half a day. It was just to get acquainted and to formally introduce him to my son. I gave him a ride home at 1800. While dropping off the new sitter at his house, a friend of mine went to my house, to bring me some food that she had cook. She was knocking on the door, I wasn't home I was on the road, on my way home after dropping off the male sitter. She claimed someone lift the blinds up, look down where she was, she thought it was me, she hallered, " open the door, I've been knocking!" She waitted, she heard someone comin down the stairs, she heard conversations in the house.....10 minutes later, no one answered the door. She went home left the food at the door. She called my house from her house, no answer. I finally got home.....I found the food at the door. Then, I placed the food in the refrigirator, then I armed my alarm. A few step away, I begun calling my friend, all she can say was...."Get out of there!" Repeatedly saying, " get out! get out! get out!" She was beginning to tell me what happened, the phone died, the alarm went off, I run upstairs to grab my son, I got out of the house. I then called her from my cell phone as I was driving away from the house. She told me what she had experienced while she was knocking at the door.

One week we stayed at the house after hiring the male Nannie. He then experienced the same paranormal activities as the other Nannie did. I then decided to move out of the house for the time being until I figure out what am I going to do. I rented an apartment for three months, became strong on my Christian faith, then, after that we moved back into the house. What ever it was, when we were going into the house, we would hear running up on the stairs, as if someone was afraid of me. I would go in, do my prayer loudly, then after that, I felt so exchausted, as if I got beat up and battled many what ever it was.

On July 15 2005, I was cooking for my fellow Christians, fixing the house up for a bible study...I had a friend whom I was telling a story to...my voice became louder and louder....then suddenly, something smack the kitchen cabinet like 6 times, so loud! We didn't know what it was! My friend then told me "leave the house and stop fighting it, its just killing you!" After the bible study, I decided to leave Sacramento and resided in San Diego back to where I was prior to moving to Sacramento.
