Hi, my name is Erica and I believe the house that my fiance and 18 mon. old daughter purchased 2 years ago is haunted.

It all began about 2 weeks after we moved in, I started getting the strange feeling when I walked past my daughters bedroom that I was being watched by someone who was not happy with my being here. My fiance wrote it off as new house jitters.

Let me say that I have dabbled in the paranormal since I was 13 yrs. old and I'm now 27.

When my fiance started working nights I noticed that the feeling intensified to the point I actually moved ny then infant daughter into our room because I wouldn't go in her room at night. My daughter now is 21 mon. old and the occurences have become different. my fiance insisted that I move her back into her room for a period of time when she was about a year old. She would wake in the middle of the night screaming and at first I never saw anything just this feeling that someone was there.

One night I got up because she was screaming louder than usual and walked down the hall to her room. Standing by her crib was a man with dark hair with small amounts of gray. I screamed and ran back into my room because my fiance had the night off and told him there was a man in her room. He got up and searched the house but found noone. He did say that her room was very cold and he got the feeling he shouldn't have been in there.

Two days later we moved her back in with us because this continued to occur. I always saw the man but my fiance only felt the presence. Now I can't walk past that room when the house is dark without feeling like someone is reaching out the door to grab me.

Two nights ago I got really disturbed because my daughter and I were laying in bed cuddeling getting ready for her to go to bed when she looked at my closet which was open on one side and started crying and pointing and saying bad man over and over. It took me twenty min. to calm her down.

We have afriend who just moved in with us and he is now staying in what was once her room. We never told him about what I thought I saw, but a couple of days after he moved in he told me he thought he saw an old man standing outside my bedroom door one night after I had went to bed.

Now I do know that I had a problem when I was younger with a spirit that used to bite and pinch me that left actual marks on my body. He looked just like the man I've seen here. Also, I have a small dog that will sit by my bedroom door sometimes and growl like he hears something on the other side but he will not go out if I open it for him.

These things are starting to scare me because it's starting to take a physical turn. I sometimes feel a hand grab my arm from the side of my bed and I wake in the morning with fingerprint bruises in the exact spot where I felt it touch me the nioght before. I want these things to stop but I am unsure how to make this happen.

I have blessed the house with salt and burned white candles to stop any negative energy from growing any stronger,but nothing has changed except it keeps getting worse. Like the other night I heard a voice tell me while I was soaking in the tub that I should just die. Now I have started vomiting constantly and sometimes it's nothing but blood. My doctors are confused about what the problem is and the medicine they give me only slows down the problem but never stops it. I have also become a crnic insomniac only able to sleep after the sun starts coming up.

any suggestions as to what this may be or what I can do to stop it would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou for listening. Erica
