I live in a flat which is in the attic of an Edwardian house. When I walk up the stairs which are quite dark, it sometimes feels as though there's a ghost there. When I open the door from the hall into the stairs it should be completely dark, but I see a white thing floating just off the ground. It's a blurry image, but you can just make out the head an arms. When I turn the light on though it disappears. 

Several other things have happened. We had a board game which had lots of numbered cards in it. When we bought the game, and opened it up, we found they were all muddled up. We spent ages putting them into the right order so that we could play the game properly. When we got it out a few days later the cards were all muddled up again. It was as though someone has shuffled them up again on purpose. We couldn't work out how it had happened, as I hadn't touched it, neither had my mum, and no-one else had been into our flat. The only thing that could have done it was the ghost. 

Another thing that happened was, I was in the bathroom cleaning my teeth one morning, and no one else was home. The people in the flat downstairs had gone out, and my mum was at work. I was all on my own in the house, and I could sense something else was around me. I turned around and looked through my open door to my mum's bedroom. I didn't see anything, but the floorboards in there started creaking as though someone was sneaking around the room. The house is full of old creaking floorboards, but I've never heard any creaks from downstairs and the fact that makes it even stranger is that there was no one else in the entire house apart from me. 

I don't know if it's the same ghost, or several of them each doing the different things, but I'm certain the house must be haunted. It's quite scary in there when I come home and walk up the stairs when there's no one home in our flat. When I go downstairs to let the cat outside, it feels as though something is watching and following me down.
