So me and my family bought our house back in 2000. We were the first to live there and moved in after the house was built. The only explanations we have is that the clothing these ghosts wear are like early 1900 late 1800 and you’ll know why.

The first ghost made herself known when I was 12-14. I always had trouble sleeping at night and couldn’t walk around my house at night as I felt like someone was always watching. But I always just thought that was irrational kid thinking. Or so I thought.

One night I was laying on my bed not to sleep but on top of my comforter and all. I was just staring out my bedroom door into the hallway, the hallway light and bedroom light was on and being in the second floor, I think I also had on the main entrance light on (think of a chandelier where the entrance you can see the stairs right away and see a bit upstairs as well). I had no music or anything playing when I hear a little girl’s laugh just as all the lights turn off and my door closes shut. I freaked out and started screaming when my mom came out of her room on the first floor thinking I was playing with the lights. She didn’t believe my explanation that night but I’ll come back to this.

The second ghost made himself known in a more creepier way. One night when I was 15-16 I woke up at exactly 3:14. I felt something tap my shoulder and as I turn to see what it was; a man stood next to my bed. He appeared to be in his late 40s early 50s judging from his white hair and white mustache/beard in what I could only describe as civil war uniform for the confederacy. Only thing was his skin was very pale and his eyes had no pupils. I wanted to scream but he only moved his finger over his lips to signify be quiet/shh. I laid in my bed frozen with fear as he walked out of my room and closing the door quietly. From that night I kept hearing him match in my upstairs hallway.

Now being I was the only one that could account these spirits I always was told I was crazy. Until my brother and mom both told me they noticed the girl. She never did anything harmful except she loves to play with us by hiding things somewhere we know we didn’t leave them as well as returning them to where they were originally after we look everywhere. Main things are keys, remotes, and small objects like nail polish or make up. It’s gotten to the point where if we lose something and we know it’s not where we left it we just say “little girl we need this back” or “little girl we are in a rush & can’t play”. She’ll normally put it back in its place a bit quicker.

The older man was seen by my grandfather and my mom as well. My grandfather just saw him walk in the front door and directly to my parent’s room. My mom would see him at night but all he does is tip his hat to her and walks away. One night where she was crying a lot, I believe it was over losing her grandparents or her brother; he sat next to her and put his hand on her shoulder. She said he felt very cold but she felt safe.

Not sure if this means anything but I thought it would be cool to share this with you all.
