Weird Old House

submitted by Jen

I've been reading these and decided I should just submit my own experiences although they may not be as exciting, they certainly got to me.

When I was around three years old or so my family moved south to Georgia and decided to rent a house not too far from my current residence. As I grew older, I realized everytime I walked down
the hallway (which was everyday since the bathroom was at the end of the hallway and my bedroom was one of the rooms on the right side) I had the scariest feeling I was being watched by someone following directly behind me. Some nights it would be so bad that I'd just turn around and make sure someone wasn't back there. Often I'd even run just to get into the kitchen (through my parents room which was on the left side of the hallway) or get into the washroom (opposite end of the bathroom which also led to the kitchen and outside). I never spoke to anyone about the feeling that I would get although I'd avoid going through the hall anytime I could. One night I had a dream that I was walking down the hall and I had that very same feeling again well I got to the end that led to the washroom and opened the door (the door was fixed to automatically shut once it was opened) and was making my way to the door that led into the kitchen but before I reached the kitchen door the washroom door opened and shut and nothing came through! It was
only a dream but it always felt like it would happen.

One night my parents and I returned from going out to eat and my brother had stayed home and he had the first bedroom on the right side of the hallway. He came to my parents as we sat at the kitchen table and said Did you guys come home anytime before you left? My parents looked at him odd and shook their heads. Fear became apparent on my brothers face and he said Me
and my girlfriend were in my room watching tv and the hall door opened and shut but we never saw anyone walk by the doorway. We all figured it was just my other brother who must've briefly
came home, however none of us thought to question him.

Other times I would be lying awake in my bedroom with my cat sleeping next to me and she would quickly sit up as if she heard something or saw something and stare wide eyed at the doorway as
if she was indeed seeing something! It often gave me the creeps, especially since it would be in the middle of the night and she would be staring out into the hallway. My cousins soon moved in with us and they came to me and said weird things were happening in their room like their light bulbs would be unscrewed or things would go missing. Of course i dismissed this and thought they were only trying to get to me.

Once my brothers girlfriend and I were sitting in the living room late one night on a weekend and we were watching tv when she said I need to go to the bathroom...will you go with me? At first I didn't think anything of it so she and I went through the kitchen, through the washroom, and down the hall and I waited on her. She finished up and we made our way back to the living room and finally I thought to ask why she wanted me to come along so I did. She hesitated for a brief moment then responded I don't like being in that hall by myself, it always feels like someone is there with me watching me. I couldn't believe it! I had never mentioned this before and she just described my experiences in the hallway so I told her I always felt that way too.

One night I was sleeping in the sunroom we had and I woke up because I heard the leaves shuffling around outside and so I listened closely. I could hear men talking but I couldn't understand what they were saying, plus they were walking about. It was dead winter so it was quite cold outside and I couldn't understand why anyone would be outside in this weather, at this time of night, and at the back of the house. Eventually I got too scared to stay in there and slept in my parents bedroom floor for the night. Anytime I was outside alone nothing felt right. It was plain scary outside whether it was day or night. I can't explain it now but it didn't feel right at all. I'd often hear someone or something walking around in the woods and I'd never see anything but always dismissed it as being a stray cat or dog or some other animal.

One night, after I was much older my mother and I were sitting at the kitchen table with my younger cousin and we were just talking. Somehow the topic came up about my brothers hearing a
woman screaming outside. I must've been too young to remember or I just wasn't home at the time. My mom told me that the boys came running to her one night and were scared to death saying they heard a woman screaming outside in the woods. My mom, of course, was very skeptical and just told them to quit messing around. The next morning the police were outside and in the back woods, apparently they found a woman that had been murdered. I can't remember if she had been stabbed or what. I haven't got a clue if she is the reason for all the weird feelings and incidents but it is the only story I know of that could possibly deal with such hauntings.

Sorry it was so long and sorry if it wasn't scary enough...you should've been there! I've got other weird incidents but they don't deal with the house itself and I plan on submitting them as well. Till next time.
