Presence in the House

Hello.  this is a true story that  
happened to me at age 13 ( im 16 now) 


This happened toward the end of the school year. I had made 
friends qith this awesome girl named Erin. We had been best 
friends for the entire school year.  So when i decided to 
call her one night at the beginning of june, nothing seemed 
out of the ordinary, I was home babysitting my 4 year old 
sister Mia, and i had just sat down to watch tv. but for 
some reason the television was fuzzy and the words from the 
people on tv were unhearable so i decided to call Erin. 

We started talking about everything and nothing, and suddenly 
half way through our conversation i heard breathing on the 
phone, i asked erin if it  if it was her, she said no because 
her parents were out to supper and her sisters (2) and brothers 
(3) were all out with friends.

Just when i said " i guess its my phone:" we started hearing 
"click. click SNAP. SCREAM!" we were freaking  out.  i told 
her i would call her back, and when we were saying our goodbyes, 
Mia comes running down the stairs and yells  "theres someone 
upstairs!" i yelled  "WHAT ??????????????" almost loud enough 
to make erin go deaf.  so i hung up the phone (sorry, erin) 
and ran upstairs and searched EVERYWHERE. nothing.  so we ran 
downstairs and we could hear footsteps right where my parents 
room is. i went back with a shovel. nothing. only a noise like 
a childs jewelery box. I picked up this small box it had a 
little balerina in it and it was making noise, but no one in 
my house had ever owned a box like this. i looked to the back. 
there was a name. Julianna-Rose age 6.  this was the name of 
the girl who lived in the house 50  years earlier. Apparently 
she died when an estranged man came in and smothered her in 
her sleep

i ran to the neighbors with mia in my arms. to scared to stay 
in my own house. but when i got to the stairs a light was 
hovering around the house. catching everyhting in a golden 
glow. i tried to move but i couldnt. there was a sort of force 
barrier holding me back.  then my sister hollered" JUJUBE STOP 
IT!" and we tumbld down the stairs. when we were down. i asked 
mia. " who on earth is jujube? " she didnt hesitate to reply. 
"shes the little girl in mummy and daddys room who likes to 
play with me. she likes you alot. shes only protecting us." 

i was in shock.  " protecting us from what?"

 " the evil man. he likes to walk around. he was upstairs in 
my room. he walked by my door and he had a wicked skeleton face.

i was shocked again.

we ran to the neighbors and stayed there until my parents got home. 

when they did we told them all about it. my mom told us she knew. 
because a few days before i was born, the man was in my room. the 
room apparently julianna was in when she died. (i thought she 
died in my parwents room but iguess not. ) 

 

we heard the man running wildly around the second floor when we 
got home. and we discovered that the dresser was stuck at the top 
of the landing and we couldnt go by. so we waited. and finally 
everything went calm again. but we got a priest to get the man 
out of our house. i only saw hgim once. and it was the night we 
came home after the experience with mia and everything. i was 
alone in bed and heard my door open. a shadow moved along the 
wall  i squeezed my eyes shut and prayed he go away. he didnt. 
i heard and felt his breath on my face. i opened my eyes and 
saw a face nothing like  i have ever seen before. it was 
gruesome and disgusting. 

then i dont know what happened but he just vanished. apparently 
he had lingered for fifty years and he was returning to the grave. 

 

a few eeks later i was going to the wasroom in the middle of 
the night. i heard someone violently shut the french door 
downstairs. i was scared so i ran to the bathroom and stayed 
there. when i was done. i looked in the mirror. staring back 
at me was a disfigured face with blood everywhere behind them. 
a hand reached out throught the mirror and grabbed my hair. 

 

a scream went through the entire house and the windows in my 
room and my parents room shattered to peices. the next morning 
i found under my carpet, a large circular faded stain. blood. 

we moved down to florida a week later. 

hope you enjoyed my story'
