Ghostly Encounters Since 13

My name is Nikki I'm 21 years old and I come from a small town called Banff in Scotland.

When I was 13 years old I had my first encounter with a spirit, whenever I was alone in our new house, I could hear footsteps running around upstairs (the landlord told me and my mother that we were not allowed upstairs and we only lived downstairs but I ignored this) whenever I checked it out there was nobody there. My mum never believed me.

Nothing else happened once we moved out for a few years and I even began using the Ouija board I made myself. (My mum freaked out when she found it and demanded I get rid of it and the glass that I had used).

Once I moved in with my boyfriend 4 years ago everything kicked off again.

First incident was shortly after my granddad passed away. I was having a tough time dealing with it so I spent a lot of time alone (I was 16 years old, 2004). One night whilst watching TV in the living room alone I noticed the curtain moving, the window wasn't open as it was winter and I hate the cold then I heard a deep raspy voice say my name naturally I was terrified.

The next incident (august 2005) was me seeing a spirit for the first time I was in our walk in cupboard looking for something to eat, as I closed the door I saw somebody walking towards me. I thought it was my boyfriends mum as she did pop round often and as I turned to say hello she was gone, the woman I saw had shoulder length wavy brown hair and was wearing a bright purple dressing gown and fluffy slippers.

(18 years old), one night I woke up really thirsty and had a bottle of juice at the foot of my bed on my table when I saw a small blonde haired boy no older than 4 years old he was holding on to the end of the bed where my boyfriend was sleeping he turned and stared right at me. I didn't feel threatened at all I turned away to drink my juice and when I looked back he was gone.

I found out the next day when I spoke to my boyfriend about what I'd seen that I had seen his spirit guide as he told me the story how after his father passed away he went to see a medium (witch as she was known) in South Africa with his mum and she told him about his spirit guide and what he looked like.

I had also been having lots of nightmares around this time where I kept seeing a young blonde girl (around 18-20 years old) with smeared makeup covered by clear shower curtain in my bathtub always looking at me shouting at me but I could never hear her and she always got angry and attacked me.

For years whenever I went upstairs particularly at night I feel like somebody is trying to grab my legs it is really unsettling.

Now at 21 years old my latest experience is four loud bangs from the foot of the staircase. I heard the other night shortly after my boyfriend was talking in his sleep and grabbed my face (still get heebie geebies from that) he has only started doing weird things in his sleep over past 2 month really can't ex plain that...

The problem is that I have had enough of these ghosts bothering me and really just looking for any solution to make them leave me alone.
