Girl in Green

I have seen a girl in green in my house ever since we first moved in when I was 5 (I'm 16 now). I usually see her in my parents' doorway out of the corner of my eye. She is about 5'3" and wears a green velvet dress that's a late 19th century style. She has dark brown hair that's pulled into a loose bun. I have seen her many times. She usually is walking into the room and as she does, she looks over her shoulder at me. She looks to be about my age. I have also seen her in our basement and staring at me in the middle of the night next to my bed.

I am scared to mention it to my family. They are all deeply religious and refuse to believe in ghosts. I felt like I was just crazy until my boyfriend was over one night. No one was upstairs but us. I was in the bathroom, but he didn't know that. When I came out he had ran up to me and started franticly telling me that he thought he had seen me walk into my parents' room when he looked for me. He walked across the room to the door and saw a girl who he thought was me go into their bathroom. He says he heard the drawers opening in there and things being moved around. But when he went in, there was no one there. Then I came into the room behind him and he started freaking out.

I don't know why she is in our house, we are the first ones to live here. The spirit seems pretty nice. Not evil. It's just upsetting when I'm home alone.
