first of all i believe in spirits not ghosts even though some people see no difference. also this story isnt some huge thing with lots of evidence just a short little thing.

I was fourteen in the summer of 2010 when my mother, my mothers boyfriend, my sister and brother along with our two tiny dogs moved into a rental house in denver. everything when fine until my sister started complaining that it was haunted downstairs followed by both my brother and mom saying the hairs on their neck rose when ever they when down there for any period of time. also you might want to know that my brother was the only one with a bedroom down there so he didnt complain much about ghosts.

but as i said my sister had no doubts and was constantly asking me to go down there with her to watch tv or play a game for she thought if your not alone you wont get hurt by the ghost. so i obliged but as i also stated i believed in spirits that dont harm humans so i would stay down there late at night and sometimes into the early morning on the computer, and in the dark making me more resistant to the storys my sister told and if anything this spirit was friendly in my eyes. especially after a few experiences where i totally in love with music would turn the radio on at night and fall asleep with it on but i woke up one day to find it off.

now at first i suspected my sister or mother had heard the noise and couldnt sleep with it and came into my room and shut it off, but when i asked they both shook there heads truthfully, so i let it go. but every night i would wake up to the radio off or turned down so i concluded that a spirit must be at work. for what reason, i do not know. anyway even though i had made friends with whatever ghost or spirit resided in our house some had not.

it was february in 2011 when my mothers friend barbra had come to visit and take us skiing, since my brother had moved out only a few months ago she stayed in his room down stairs and over the course of three days we talked about ghosts at least once with her and she too said that when she was on her way up stairs she got suddenly very fearfull and even as a grown woman ran back to her bedroom and "hide" under the blankets until she felt safe. this worried me for knowing barbra as a very reasonable person to get scared over an instinct was odd.

so i was thinking twice about my "relationship" with this spirit until the day we went skiing. it had been a long day and i was exhausted and wasnt up for one last run along with barbra and my brothers girlfriend. (sorry my oldest brother and his girlfriend are with us on the ski trip forgot to mention that) all went to the locker to get changed and wait for my brother and my sister to return. meanwhile on the slopes my sister had a very odd experiance which she told as her skiing down with my brother to her side a little ways up and since they are nearing the bottom she just happened to have several snowboarders and skiers around her, my sister not being a very skilled skier is in a panicked state and trying her hardest not to hit anybody when she all of the sudden hears my voice say clearly as if i was there " on your left" so instinctivly my sister turns to her right to look over and see a snowboarder was inches from hiting her. now this may be and angel experience as my sister insists, but i believe there is always a chance that my friendly ghost followed her us up there to protect us.
