In my life I have had a number of odd and unexplainable things happen to me. I have been have possessed, I have been attacked by a malicious entity. So far as I know all the houses I have ever lived in has been haunted. As unfortunate as this sounds, the house I am living in now, has more of a kinder entity inhabiting it. I only know that we have an old Indian burial ground close to my house so this is a possible place the spirit might have come from.
Anyway, I experienced something I'll never forget. I was lying in bed one night, and I couldn't sleep because I could hear footsteps going up and down the stairs. I was so frightened that I ran down the stairs to my mom (as the footsteps walked past me). I told her why I couldn't sleep. She told me that she had heard of a similar story and told me to tell the spirit to leave me alone. I walked slowly up the stairs listening for the footsteps. I crawled into bed and laid down. After a few minutes the footsteps started again. I lay in fear as the footsteps walked past my door. I struggled to find the words to tell the spirit to leave, without angering it. I could bear it no longer. I heard the footsteps approaching my door and so I sat up.
"Please,", I said, " I need to sleep and your footstep's are keeping me awake! Please go away!"
I quickly lay down just in time to hear the footsteps slowly fading away.
I never heard the footsteps again, but a number of unexplainable things still happen within my household.
WHY would someone want to hang out in a cemetery when they could choose a place like the magnificent mountains, or the beautiful ocean?
MOST of the activity found in burial lands (someone catch this and correct me if I am wrong, please) is due in the most part to the decomposition of the human body. The breakdown of chemicals in the physical form CREATE mists, "smoke" etc. MOST of that is NOT a ghost, but in the bodies decomposition.
Thanks.
