Ghost Stories

Could music be the cause of this?

Twhat actually happened to me was that one night for some reason I woke up around 3am. I was listening to music and suddenly I heard a deep voice saying, “Don't disturb others' dreams, or I will come for you.” I was scared to death and I was thinking, “I won't say anything or wake anyone up,” and other things, and I heard the same voice say, “YOU DID IT!” and I quickly turned to the bedroom door and there was this girl standing there, moving very, very slowly towards me, and what amazed me was that I couldn't move, or scream, or anything, and it was like my arms were crossed, if that means anything to people who have experienced things like this. So after a while she disappeared and reappeared and I remained frozen every time.

It wasn't a dream and I know it for a fact because three weeks later I went to my sister and her husband's apartment on a Friday night to celebrate his birthday (even though it was a Tuesday, they were at work all week so we decided to do it 4 days earlier) and for some reason I decided to go to their empty room and fell asleep on the floor listening to music. Finally, my parents woke me up at 11:30 and we went home.

So we didn't see my sister and her husband for a whole week, but the following Monday, when I was able to meet them, without me telling them about what happened to me with the girl, they told me that strange things had been happening to them all week, and it really pissed me off when they told me that he crossed his arm whenever he felt something weighty on him, which prevented him from screaming or asking my sister for facilitate, and they even both told how each of them saw a girl, just like him, she did it. So there I was definitely sure it wasn't a dream.

A few days later, I traveled 12 hours to my hometown of El Paso, Texas, where most of my family lives. And my dad wanted to rest at my cousin's, so I slept in my cousin's room, listening to music again. The next morning we went to Mexico, and two days later when we returned, my cousin told me about some things he started seeing, including a girl. And I don't know, I think it's tough to draw conclusions from something because there could have been other factors that caused this girl to come, but it's just a really bad situation to deal with.

There's a ghost in my room

ANDIt all started when I was 11 years senior. We moved into an senior house. I mean senior, it was built in 1898. I always had a feeling about my room. Then it all started. I found a candle stuffed into the game system. Then I found toothpicks stuck into the candle with the word “Amy” written on them. Then me and my best friend were vacuuming my room and I asked her to plug in the vacuum cleaner across the hall. So she left my room and plugged it in. Then when I turned it on it wouldn't start. I said, “Nicos, I thought I told you to plug it in.” She said, “Yes.” When I checked it was plugged in, I opened the door and saw the plug lying on the floor right outside my door. I plugged it back in and it worked fine. When I started combing the string, I said, “Nicos, take the string off,” because it was stuck in the carpet. She said, “I'm not on cable.” She was sitting in my seat by the window across the room. But right in front of my eye I saw a wire stuck to the floor.

I recently walked into my room and said “Hi Klopo” [Klopo is my cat]. Then I heard a little girl's voice saying “hello”.

Too many events

Tthere was so much going on in this apartment. We've been living here for 5 years and there's been so much going on lately. There seem to be many more incidents and the situation has escalated. My daughter and I were sitting in my bed and watching TV. Several times we felt something hitting the bed as if it was under the bed. The cat was sleeping, so it wasn't a cat. I heard footsteps when no one was around, and they seemed to stop before I could see who it might be. About a year ago I felt something wrap around my waist while I was sleeping. I felt their warmth. It wasn't that scary, but it was strange and very disturbing.

Over the last year or two, sometimes the fan in my bedroom worked fine, and other times it made noises, puffed, and wouldn't speed up. Our furnace started ticking about 2 weeks ago, as if the timer might be stuck. Over the next few days it accelerated, became speedy and thunderous. No investigation revealed a cause. It has now stopped on its own and seems to be back to normal.

One night I was sleeping and felt someone grab my legs between my feet and knees and shake them as if to wake me up. I was terrified and I could hear myself crying, but I was moaning more and having the hardest time waking up. It was like I felt what was happening but couldn't wake up. But I did it and had no trouble moving around when I woke up.

Last night, while sitting at my computer around 2 a.m., I heard footsteps in the living room next to me. I seriously thought someone was coming around the corner and I got scared. I stood up and thought: “What the hell will I do to defend myself?” they stopped to avoid coming around the corner of the room where I could see them, so I stood up and, sure enough, there was nothing there.

So, last night, after going to bed… I must admit, I was quite nervous about what was happening… I went to sleep and felt someone pulling my hair… Grabbing different sections of my hair and pulling speedy and tough. I remember trying to grab my hair and screaming. My daughter was sleeping in my bed and I whispered her name – as if I was afraid to call out – I just moved closer to her and went to sleep – or maybe I just never woke up. I'm not sure. It was so real, but I don't remember if I woke up or never woke up.

What do you think about all this? I'm really scared and I feel like there's someone in this apartment… A man… And it's not really bad, but scary. Any comments will be welcome.

[update 07-03-29]

It happened again last night while I was sleeping. I felt it all over the bed, I screamed at him to leave me alone (in my sleep) and then I thought of telling him to go into the delicate. I woke up. Then I thought it might be someone I knew and told her not to be afraid and that I forgive him. I repeated to go to the delicate. I got a little scared, so I sat on the bed, turned on the delicate and turned up the TV. After a few minutes, I heard the trash can in my bathroom slide across the floor. I wanted to make sure, so I went and checked and it didn't come back positive, so I moved it back into place. I went to bed. I had to make sure he moved. I put it back where I found it after the noise and realized that yes, it had been moved. I have no doubt that I heard it move – it was glass on the ceramic tile floor – a distinct sound. I'm starting to think that by sleeping with the lights and TV on, I'm thwarting it and not being able to get close to me. For the last few nights I slept without the delicate on but with the TV on… Last night it didn't seem to matter whether the TV was on or not. When the bathroom trash can moved, I thought maybe this thing was crazy because it couldn't get to me. Worried.
