This story takes place over the span of a few weeks. It happened in my mom's house when I still lived there, one or two years back. And it began when I started to feel a presence in the house. It drifted around the house, coming and going from time to time, and I didn't really pay much attention to it. What I noticed though, but really thought through afterwards, was that the presence only moved around on the first floor, but once. I felt it upstairs (where my room, my little brother's room, and a small bathroom are) only one time, and it then did not check out my room or anything, just my brother's and the bathroom. I found that slightly strange.
But everything came to an end after a few weeks of this. It happened when I came home from an early day of school. I went straight to the living room couch to rest, because I hadn't felt good all day. I don't know how long I lay there - maybe twenty to thirty minutes - when I suddenly wake up from my half-dazed state. I turned to face the hall and stairs (and the kitchen further away) when I suddenly felt the presence - pretty sure it was a man - coming down the stairs. The man stopped at the end of the steps; standing in the hall, right beside the living room doorway, and after a second he turned his focus towards me, like he was looking at me, and I felt that now he was done visiting our place, and the presence left in our neighbor's direction. Since then I have never felt the presence again.
Now I'm pondering over why this presence was in our home and in such a way. Because it didn't feel like a relative, and I got the distinct "message" that "his visit in our home was done", so I wonder if someone may know what and why this happened. It would be fun to puzzle over it and hear what you think.
You seem to have everyone scratching their heads here about this presence.
Everything happens for a reason. I don't mean in a biblical or 'fate' sense. I mean in a cause and effect, effort and reward sense.
There is a reason this ghost did what they did and then stopped. The answers, in my opinion, are always in the details, which can take years to piece together. I would advise you to write down everything about this experience in a journal. Everything you can remember. Especially personal details about those you live with and those you are close with, including pets and even internet buddies, the weather, the mood in the home, changes in the home. This is for your own reference. Although this seems to have passed, there's no reason you can't keep a journal for a past event.
Like I said it can take years, or it can take days. But eventually clarity will emerge from seemingly random events.
Thanks for sharing, you're obviously very in tune with ghosts!
Take care.
