My first strange experience in the house happened when I first moved in. The first night that I stayed here with my parents I had to sleep on the sofa bed in the living room. I had been restless, because the next day was the first day of school and I was to be in the sixth grade, and I was excited. I finally drifted off to sleep around 10:30p.m, and I abrubtly awoke at 2:30a.m. I immediatly looked around the room, and then looked out the window. It had been raining, and I thought maybe that had awakened me, but I was so wrong.

I had just laid my head down on my pillow, when I heard a wild screaming noise rush past the sofa bed. I was afraid, but when I looked up, I saw nothing. Then for a few weeks everything went on as schedueled, and nothing unusual happened for at least another six months to a year. The next experiences I had were pretty simple. My clock in my room would always be set to 3:00a.m., or 3:30a.m., and i just kept thinking to myself that maybe the power went off for a bit, so that was pretty excusable.

The last experience I had with my little buddy, was about a year ago. My father had left to go to a relative's house to do some repairs, my step-mother had to go to store after she got off of work (and she was working late), and my step-brother was over at a friend's house. So, I locked all of the doors, and I left the two lamps on in the living room, and the hall light on (plus the window shades were closed). After making sure all of this was done, I laid down for a nap. When I laid down, my over-head lite was on, and so was my fan. When I woke up, I saw that my room was dark. This frightened me, because I left the light on.

When I looked at my light switch, it had been flipped off. I then ran into the living room, to also find it dark, and the shades also open. Not only that, but the doors were wide open. My dogs were outside, so if anyone would have came up to the house, they would have barked, and would have woke me up. About two hours after this, my father came home and asked me what was wrong, because he said I looked really pale, and sickly. I had gotten so scared that I lost my olive color. I questioned my father, step-mother, and step-brother, but all three said that they hadn't been back to the house since they left the first time.

My friend also had an experience in our house. She said that she saw the window shades being opened and closed rapidly by what she said looked like a boy's shadow. I was in the room, but didn't see it happen exactly. I looked over and the shades were moving as if they were being opened or closed really fast, but the shadow wasn't there. She turned pale, and felt ill after the experience, and would not come back over for at least five months. My father didn't believe either my friend, nor myself, because, he said my step-brother could have been playing a prank. About five minutes after he said that, my step-brother drove up with his girlfriend, and they were shopping at the mall which is about thirty minutes away.

I really can't explain any of these strange occurences and the only thing I can think of, is that we have a ghost. There hasn't been any occurences for close to four years after the strange one with the window shades. Maybe the ghost finally found peace.
