Ive always sworn i saw a sillouete of someone in my conservatory once (at night, and french doors seperate it from the living room). I actually ran for the phone and pre-dialed 911, then did the whole splinter cell creep to the doors and turned the light on...to find nobody.
Also, id wake up sometimes in my room and just...sense that there was someone in the corner. Always looking over my shoulder kind of thing.
Ive never believed in ghosts, until i heard one and then had a freakish thing happen the same night.
Basically, my uncle's house in South Africa had an extension hall with rooms running off it, and it was about 50 metres long (so quite long, big rooms). Now my aunt and uncle (around 50 years old each) have always sworn that theyve heard weird things happen, dogs freaking out, doors closing, lights coming on etc, ever since the extension was made about 5 years ago.
Now, 2 years ago, i was 18 and we stayed there for xmas as a holiday. It was our 3rd night in the new extension, and what woke me up i dont know, just one of those times where you just wake up for no reason, then fall asleep again.
Anyway, i rolled over and tried to go to sleep again. Then i heard what i thought sounded like a small person, like a child, running softly in the hallway, back and forth 2 times. I then heard an extremely quiet giggle, so i sprang out of bed, threw the door open and looked both ways in the hall. The door at the end was closed, as were the other rooms. And no, we had no kids in the house for xmas at all, or for the 4-5 weeks we were there.
Oh, forgot to mention i was sleeping in the same room as my older cousin, and he had his pitbull terrier sleeping in the room too on the floor (2 beds in the room). Mike woke up to me throwing the door open, asked what the hell was going on etc, so i told him and we just laughed and went to sleep again.
Dont know how long later, we both woke up to his dog growling this really deep growl like ive never heard a dog make before, and jessie was just staring at my cousin's cupboard, standing up, head down and leaning forward. Mike and I kind of looked at each other confused, and said her name a few times, to no avail.
Then, a sleeping bag dropped out of the cupboard without the cupboard shaking or any noise previously...so it couldnt have been something like a mouse inside it, and we checked it by throwing everything out of it.
now how the ***k did that happen???
I moved out of the hall the next day, ***k sleeping in there again...
Now my aunt told us the next xmas (basically xmas of 2006) when we went again (we kind of go every year, most of my family is in SA) that she was on her own in the house one night, watching TV and the bar room door slowly creaked open. No wind in the house as the windows were all shut. She sprang up, and said she saw a sillouete but with no lower half...that she said looked like a little girl. She then said outloud something to the effect of 'you have no business here, we have done nothing, leave now', the 'girl' disappeared and my aunt swears from that day on nothing weird has happened.
Even my mum has been haunted in Milawi. She woke up one night when she was about 16 to see a man coming out of the cieling, even after she turned on the light screaming, so she sprinted to her parents room and bashed on the door, trying to open it but it was locked. She was screaming and screaming, so her parents woke up and asked what was wrong through the door as they were still in bed. She screamed for them to unlock the door, so her mum opened it and told her it wasnt locked...that it hadnt been locked since they moved in 14 years ago...
Think hauntings kind of runs in my family?
I still dont believe in ghosts though, as ive never actually laid eyes on one...if you do even 'see' them :S
Im still adamant that its your mind just playing tricks and linked to your subconcious...either that or people are just lying and nothing happened, or its simply ironic these things happen.
Im terrified of the dark when i know im by myself in my house though, for example. Have to search each room as i turn the light off, then look down my corridor before i close my bedroom door. Oh, and i always look at the windows too, ive always imagined turning a light off only to see someone just standing in the window looking at me...
