I'm currently 24 years old but since I can remember I have always had bad luck and strange things happening to me.

Is My House Haunted Or Am I? by Molly_23_boo

Several things have happened in our house since 2005 when my younger brother passed away, although I know that these experiences have nothing to do with his spirit as the spirit in question feels harmful like it wants to scare us and hurt us.

Is It Real Or In My Head by goosefabah

I'd like to start by saying, I have always been a very open minded person and love the idea of the paranormal but will always look for a rational explanation to situations before jumping to the idea of the paranormal.
