I will never forget the first house I moved into after graduating from high school. 

One night as my boyfriend and I pulled into our drive and the car lights shined on the window, I saw a woman walk quickly past. Another time my mom and little brother pulled in the driveway at night and he said he saw a "weird girl" peeking in the kitchen window from the outside. I also clearly heard a woman's voice say "Steven!". 

So when my boyfriend and I split up and he moved out, I was terrified of the idea of staying alone there! A week later, I found out I was pregnant, and I felt very upset and alone. Just when I felt like I was going to drown in my depression, I started experiencing new happenings. 

I would see smoke rising from the couch, as if some one were sitting there having a cigarette, and I made a comment to a friend (who also saw the smoke) that the ghost should smoke outside since I was pregnant now. Soon after, we saw the smoke again, but this time it was on the front porch! 

The most amazing occurrence happened one night very late; I was waiting for a friend who was going to stay at my house that night to get home from a late party. I had left the front door open and was sleeping on the couch so I would know when she came in. In my sleep I felt something very close to my face, and I opened my eyes thinking it was my friend. 

A hand, ONLY a hand, was right in front of my face, reaching out as if to touch me gently with one finger! I jumped up and it was gone and I was alone, but the oddest thing is that I wasn't scared of that house ever again, I actually felt as if I were taken care of or watched out for. 

I think the strong emotions I was having at the time and the fear of being so alone made me more "open" to the soft and caring natures of my "spirits". I also don't know why, but I always felt like there were two of them. 

Needless to say, I was sad to move from that house and hope they are happy ghosts!
