Haunted A Second Time

If you've read my last story you would know that I have previously been haunted. Since that time years ago, I've had many ghostly experiences, but I've never actually been haunted a second time. Well, here we go again.

This started March 15th. It was a normal day, and I was working on a story for about an hour at that time. My grades were down (they still are), and my mother and I had gotten into an argument about them. I'd been in a horrible mood that entire day, and I was trying to get my mind off of things by working on a hobby.

It was probably 8pm when I began to feel depressed. I felt like I was going to cry, and I was getting intense goose bumps and chills. The goose bumps usually happen when there's a spirit around, so I left my room to escape the feeling of being watched that I was experiencing. Once I left my room I'd felt fine, so I told my mother.

She said my room was giving her the creeps, and she said to just tell it to go away. I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to confrontation, especially when it's with a ghost, so I kept my mouth shut. I continued working on my story and tried to ignore it. There was such a sense of sadness and stress that I felt like my heart was breaking. Luckily after about 30 minutes it went away. I'd figured it was just a sad spirit passing through, and was slightly honoured that it would pick to be with me.

Those feelings quickly went away when things started happening. When I'm alone I feel intense chills, and I feel like someone is watching me. This presence doesn't seem sad, but very angry. Honestly it scares me, but for a while I didn't tell anyone. It's worse at night when I'm trying to sleep, because I feel an intense dread when preparing to go to bed. My bed will move, and I feel someone pulling on my covers. Sometimes I'll also catch a nasty smell that reminds me of marijuana.

My mother is usually very supportive on these things, which has always been nice since I seem to always attract unwanted ghostly attention. Lately she hasn't been helping me though. Everyone's been in a bad mood, and I think this spirit is feeding off of our negative emotions.

My brother is visiting from college for his spring break, so I was excited that maybe I could get my mind off of this. The first night he was here he woke up saying that he felt like someone was watching him, and it made him mad. This thing seems to amplify our more dominant emotions. At least that's what it seems like. He also claimed that he saw a large man step out of the shadows toward him yesterday, which sent him running to where I sat in the living room.

Before my brother got here, I was home alone one day. I didn't feel safe anywhere and I heard loud footsteps in the house and doors opening. I called my friend and told her I thought someone had broken into my house. I didn't call the cops because my dog wasn't barking, and if someone unwanted was in the house she would attack them. When I started hearing doors slamming I pulled my dog into my room and hid. At one point I opened my door (wielding a weapon) and literally felt the shadows staring at me. My dog has been acting weird, and sometimes she will bark at nothing.

I can't speak to this spirit, because every time I start I get too scared. My father is the biggest sceptic out there, so he won't let me do a cleansing or anything. I need something simple to do that I can do by myself.

If anyone has any ideas about what I can do I'll be so grateful. I want this to stop.
