Hi, my name is Allison, I am 16, and I a native American. I have a wolf/husky mix,Balto, and I have a 6 month old sister.

I live in a house my parents built. At the time, we had owned the old house, and nothing out of the ordinary happened then, but then again we didnt live there, we rebuilt that ranch[we own four]. So we had just gotten settled in to our new house when I heard a crash. Balto and I got up and went to see what had happened. There was nothing that we could see that had fallen, but there was a small pool of blood and it looked like it was coming from the ceiling. Thinking nothing of it, because that was the guest bedroom and nobody slept in there, I didnt even bother to investigate. Now I wish I had.

My parents had just bought my brother[who's in collage] a brand new corvette, and for my 16th birthday, I had gotten a Range Rover. We were arguing over whose was better, when we heard a baby crying, but my parents had taken Lydia to the doctors. So we told our parents about it and they went to investigate, but found no baby, and nothing that could imitate a baby cry.

I was walking to the store with balto[my town is small, and everyone likes my family and our dog, so he's allowed everywhere, most dogs are, not just ours], and I stopped to see the old muriel thats on the wall, its a painting of our town, around the turn of the century, in 1900. Well, there is a rumor about a woman who was 24 and an aspiring actress then who was doing a show when a stage light fell on her and killed her. I saw her, and disturbed, I walked away.

At the store, I swear that friggin store is HAUNTED!! I was getting something off the topshelf[im tall 6'6 as of now] and someone[or something] grabbed my waist from behind, thinking it was my boyfriend, i looked around but nobody was there.

People tell me I'm special. Im very smart, and they tell me im special because I see ghosts. Honestly, I wish I could turn it off.
