Sharing our Home with a Ghost

Throughout my entire life I have had experiences of the psychic and paranormal kind. I can remember some events as far back as age one. Over the years I have also enjoyed sharing these stories with others and giving the goose bumps to anyone within earshot. Well, ever since we moved into our current home these experiences have not been limited to just myself.

I have five children ages 20, 13, 11, 4, and 2. My oldest is in college in Arizona and has not been affected. The four at home however have begun to have experiences of their own. Sera is the oldest of the four at home and has been affected the most, with Jake coming in at a close second.

Approximately three to four weeks ago my youngest son JC started waking up screaming for me at odd hours of the night. When I would get to his room he would be trembling and crying, and the only word that came out of his mouth was, “Monster!”  At that same time my eleven-year-old son Jake also started to hear someone walking around on the second floor of our house and also right there in his room. I receieved a text one afternoon from his cell phone to please come up stairs and when I got there he was pale as a ghost. He described feeling like someone was in the room and that he even heard its foot steps walking around right next to his bed. Jake and JC both sleep in the same bedroom.

They weren’t the only ones seeing and hearing things. I have been staying up late doing research for this site and have seen shadows walking up and down the stairs, and have heard foot steps walking up and down the stairs as well as from the second floor. I also found out my husband has also been seeing the shadows on the stairs and hallway but just ignores them.

Well, two weeks ago at about 1:00 a.m. I woke up with the feeling that someone was watching me. Well, when I opened my eyes I was startled to see my oldest daughter Sera, standing at the foot of my bed. I asked her what it was that she needed and she didn’t reply, but she walked out of my room very quickly. I followed her and found her walking so fast it could have been considered a jog and she was walking the perimeter of the kitchen, dining area, and living room. She kept mumbling and had a blank stare on her face but going round and round again. She must have gone around about four times when I grabbed her arm to see if maybe she had a fever-induced-sleep-walking-episode. Well, she wasn’t warm and she seemed startled that I had touched her. I asked her what she was doing and she said, “I-I don’t know…..the girls…the girls…..” Well, she proceeded to walk around about ten more times until she finally just snapped out of it. She looked a little surprised to see me standing there looking at her. I asked her if she was okay and then she said, “What?” She then began to tell me that she was upstairs sleeping and heard someone in the upstairs bathroom running bathwater. She said that she got up and went into the bathroom to find two young girls sitting on the edge of the bathtub playing in the water. She said that when she looked at them one of them turned to her and looked at her. She said that the girl just stared at her and then she came down stairs and that is all she remembers. She didn’t remember pacing the entire down stairs area or waking me up.

So this last Thursday we left Sera at home alone to do homework while we took Jake to baseball practice. When we arrived at the fields I noticed that I had left my cell phone and had a gut feeling that I would surely need it. Jason had his phone so I figured there was no need to drive all the way back home. Well, about twenty minutes later Jason gets a call from Sera who is hysterical because while she was sitting upstairs in her room she heard someone run up the stairs and they were now walking back and forth in the hallway. She was scared and had locked herself in her closet, and she was crying. She then saw a shadow figure walk past her doorway twice, and then again a few minutes later. I stayed on the phone with her and sent Jason to go and get her. While I was on the phone with her she was able to gain the courage to get out of the closet and hide behind her bed. She said that when Jason came home something ran across her door and into Jakes room, but when Jason checked the rooms he found nothing and all the doors were locked.

Okay, so what is going on? I decided to call my dad and ask if he had felt a presence or anything while he was here for four days in August. He said that he only heard some heavy footsteps from the second floor. So now I have had to bring out the sage and the paint rock, sage all the rooms and chalk everyone before they go to bed. We also gather in a circle and say a protection prayer together. This all seems to be working as far as getting them to go to sleep, but we continue to have these visits every day and night

Saturday morning I drove Jason to work at about 0550. When I got back I made him some breakfast tacos and was going to drive them back to him. I had just finished the tacos when I heard Sera scream. I ran upstairs to her room and she was crying hysterically. She said that someone came up the stairs and something was standing in the corner of her room. She said she tried to use her protection spells over and over, and even closed her eyes only to find that it was still there. She then said that she imagined herself surrounded and protected by a purple light and when she opened her eyes it was gone. 

That same day my dad called me to tell me that he is now getting the feeling that there is someone here that wants us to acknowledge “his” presence and that we should also know that “he” is here to protect us. I asked dad who “he” is but of course he would not tell me. So I say, “How does one acknowledge that someone is there when you don’t know who that someone is?” Well, he replied by telling me to put an apple or some apple cider and a comic book upstairs and to tell “him” that we know he is here for us and thank him. He still did not offer a name but he did say that he knew who it was. I guess I am going to have to just ask “him” myself when I get the courage. 

I believe that there is more than one entity here. One may be here to protect but the other I am not so sure of.  I believe that if a spirit is there to protect you then the energy you feel from it should be just that, positive and loving. The feeling that she gets from this presence is definitely not a good one.
