I've lived in the same house for many years. Each year something happens, sometimes scary sometimes annoying.
In a full house of 9 people not everyone has had an experience. My two little brothers have never had an experience. One of little sisters told me she heard whispering once. My other two younger sisters have never seen or heard anything. My older brother says we're crazy.
My older sister had an experience with a doll that had literally froze her still. She couldn't do anything but scream to the top of her lungs, though nobody heard her for the first 5 minutes, everybody was though.
My mother knows of their existence, but I think she's holding the rest of her story back.
My first time was a feeling, nothing more. I thought I was crazy and I was making things up in my head. This went on for weeks. I wanted to ease my own head so I decided to record a conversation with thin air. I thought I was going to get a feeling of relief. It said in a faint whisper,"I want your power."
As if I knew what that meant. The feelings stopped shortly after that.
Some time after, things started moving. Falling, flying, floating, opening, closing. This only happened to me. Back then I didn't understand why. Everyone said I was crazy. My mother who most definitely knows it happened, denied the ghost existence. Then nothing, it just stopped.
The next year it came back and started moving things behind my back. I was doing dishes, turned and put my cup of milk on the table, turned around and did dishes, turned around, turned back, turned again, my cup was gone. Where did it go? Turned around, my cup is in the sink, still half full. My backpack did the same thing. So I named it ghosty. BIG MISTAKE, Don't name it.
It started making sounds. Clicking sounds, like with your tongue. I tried to talk to it again, via phone's voice recorder thingie, nothing happened. I checked over it twice. I turned it off and told it "thanks for nothing ghosty". Then it said very loudly in clear voice,"You don't need that to hear me."
Well, what do you do in the situation that a voice comes out of nowhere and says a full a sentence? I'll tell you what you do, you sit there with a warm liquid feeling in the front of your pants and you don't move until your told to do chores. I started hearing it talk more and more, but eventually, nothing.
It all just stopped again. Until the next year with pretty much the same story. A few years passed but it only stayed the same. Little things here and there with one big thing before it stopped again. I did a few Google searches, read a book or two, even talked to people about it. One thing helped, the Bible.
I'm not a Bible thumper. I believe in God and heaven and hell and all that, but I'm not sitting here to preach. It said not to talk to it. I never talked to it again. Then, nothing, just gone. No more. I mean some whispers came up a while back saying my name until I yelled at it.
One thing a year now and it happens randomly to anyone here. Nothing big. Since then I learned more about ghosts and the different types. I've helped others with their problems and even solved a few of my own cases. You can't get rid of a ghost. You can however, stop giving the ghost attention and it will stop picking on you.
Oh dear Lord! That "you don't need that to hear me" was too creeeepy! Well, I'd like to know your sister's doll story too.
And I hope that 'Thing' means no harm to you and your family.
