This just happened 2 days ago, my mother doesn’t believe me, only my brother does.
Me and my family just moved into our house, a nice neighborhood close to my high school, nice neighbors, nice house, everything seems normal. We know the previous owner, nothing beyond that though. Anyway, I was lying in bed with my dog, watching a movie. I had sat up to reach to the foot of my bed to pet my dog, when I then see this silhouette of a woman, shorter than the average woman, maybe a little thinner, but definitely a woman nonetheless. She had walked from the back corner of my room, the front of the house, to my walk in closet in the opposite corner. I sit there for a moment thinking i’m just seeing things, but then my dog springs up, and begins to go crazy, barking at the closet. This was just the start.
Later that night, i’m asleep, and im awoken when I hear a knock between me and my brothers shared wall, I think its him, so I grab my phone to see what he wants, right when I reach for it, theres a buzz. I flip over my phone, and there he has texted me the words “What do you want?” I text back saying “What? I thought it was you.” No response. I had just thought nothing of it, and headed back to sleep.
I woke up the next morning, and my brother is saying my name to get me out of bed. “Hey, wake up. Also, why is your closet light flickering?” I shot up, and looked at the walk in closet. The light was flickering, but the switch was off. I told my brother everything, and he did believe me, and so we told my mother, but her on the other hand, she thought we were insane.
Throughout the past couple days, I have heard many knocks, between the wall and in my closet. I haven’t seen anything again, but I have smelt, and heard plenty. I don’t know who else to tell.
