"As a child and even now I can recall strange occurrences that have happened in that house. I was always afraid to be alone in my room and I can remember seeing strange people in my room from the time that I was very small. They never spoke to me, they often just stared and then vanished right before my eyes. The house itself always looks gloomy, even with all the lights on and the bedroom that used to be mine, is always freezing cold, when the rest of the house is not. Many of my friends, including myself have seen figures walking throughout the house, at various times of the day. So far only men have been seen. I myself from the time I was a child have seen about six different individuals. Only one of them was a women and I have seen one child. The rest have been men and most of them have dark hair. Just as soon as they are there, they are gone. On one occasion a couple of my friends had gathered at my dad's to watch a hockey game. During intermission I was talking to a friend that was sitting directly across from me on the couch. I then noticed a man standing next to the couch. He made eye contact with me and I saw him very clearly, but then right before my eyes, he vanished into thin air. My friend was least to say a little bit spooked out, when I explained to him, what I was staring at. Another one of my friends saw a man in my kitchen that vanished before her eyes.
If it's quiet in the house, you often can hear brief whispering, but you don't know where is coming from. It's often sounds like a strange hum and in the night you often feel presences around you, as if they are hovering over you constantly, watching. You will see shadows even in the dark. My dog often barks into the thin air and my cat stares off as if she is staring at something that is not there and then hisses at absolutely nothing and takes off. Many have observed and commented on my animals strange behavior.
For six months, when I was sixteen, I had a friend stay at the house with me. For six months straight both of us were awoken at the same time almost every night, right out our sleep. My bed would shake violently and it often felt as if we were having an earthquake. My TV often flickers on and off and sometime the cupboard doors have appeared open, when I know that they were closed before. Strange noises are often heard and every single person that has ever entered my house, has a fear of the basement. The basement is unfinished. Many have said they felt someone push them, when they went down there alone and others won't even go near it. Many people that have been to my house, have stated that they themselves feel evil when they enter the house, as if someone there urges them to do wrong things and believe me when I say, that I have seen some of the nicest people act very strange in that house.
