I have a lot of ghost stories. I’ve been haunted since a very young age. I am now 23 years old. I want to post all of the creepy things i’ve gone through, but right now, I’ll just share the couple moments that still give me chills to this day… but possibly post updates with even more stories until I run out, if you guys want to hear more. My family and I used to live in Nevada. (I will not be posting any names to respect privacy, because we do have other certain family members, and I have certain in laws, who don’t believe in ghosts AT ALL and think it’s all hocus pocus and/or “devil worshipping”) We had moved into this one house that was NEWLY built and a two story home…. I remember being 9 almost 10 when we had moved in. Ever since moving into that home… more and more hauntings have happened throughout my life. However, I remember a lot of the hauntings that have happened there, because most of them happened in that home…. and I definitely do not think it was as simple as a ghost, but something much darker. I also still wonder why this place would be so haunted considering it was newly built. I have no idea if it was built on burial grounds, battlegrounds, etc.

I never in my life have ever sleepwalked, until moving into this house… and it also only happened whenever I would sleepover at friends’ houses. Every time I had a sleepover at a friend’s home, we would wake up the next morning and they always told me that I was sleepwalking the prior night… One time a friend’s parent even complained that I needed to “get it under control” bc I was STOMPING around for at least an hour at night and people were trying to sleep…. now I am leading up to something but I’m going to go ahead and introduce you to this “ghost” we had in that home. It was definitely more a poltergeist… (but as I said earlier, it could be darker bc of personal experiences but we’ll either get into that later or you’ll have to wait for an update) This ghost was always moving things around and messing with the lights and walking around at night, etc. And you can think i’m crazy, but both my mother and father would witness these things as well. For example, my sisters and I would play the Sims 3 on the family computer downstairs… mind you, in order to play the game, you have to turn on the computer, go into Origin, click play on Sims 3, and then the game would start. At night, we would hear in the middle of the night the Sims3 being played, to the point where my mom or dad would barge into each of our rooms to see if we were still sleeping or if we weren’t in bed and actually downstairs playing video games during bedtime. It was almost constant… and one of my parents would always go down there to turn the computer off, and every time they did, they would always explain that the sims was actually playing the game ITSELF…. now you might be thinking, maybe this is a nice ghost who just wants to enjoy the 21st century… trust me this was only the beginning.

Now back to the sleepwalking story… My family was hanging out with my aunt and cousin at their home, when my sisters and I decided that we’d have a sleepover with my cousin. My mother and father went with my little sister to grab clothes for us back at home. As my parents pulled up to the driveway, my mom noticed my bedroom light was on… MIND YOU… my mom was ANAL about turning off the lights when leaving the house. As soon as my mother noticed it she asked my dad “why is (my name)’s bedroom light on?” and he said back “I don’t know… I made sure all the lights were off before we left, and I’m positive it wasn’t on as we were pulling out of the driveway”… as soon as my dad said that, the light turned off. My mom started freaking out and my dad opened the garage and grabbed a baseball bat and went inside. He checked the WHOLE entire house, especially my room… he then came back out and said no one was in the home and that my bedroom light wasn’t on, but my little sister’s was…. which you could only see from the side of the house, not the front. My parents were freaked out and they grabbed our clothes and dropped them off for us and told us about what had happened. Now, i used to get migraines everyday as a kid and I had gotten one that night and after they told us that story, I went to bed. The next morning, my cousin had told me “you were sleepwalking last night”. My middle sister had also confirmed this. They told me that my cousin had gotten up to go to the restroom first, and she saw me walking in circles, through the kitchen, into the hallway and back through the kitchen. (if you can understand that layout) and my cousin had saw me and said my name, and then I stopped in the kitchen and just sat there staring at her. She went to the bathroom, came back out and I was still standing in the kitchen staring at her. When she got back in bed she heard me start walking around again. My sister then told me that she also went to the bathroom and I was doing the same thing that my cousin had saw. I don’t know I always think this story was a little weird, because of what my parents witnessed, and the fact that I was “sleepwalking” in the same night. I don’t know… maybe some type of coincidence… maybe not. Anyways…. After that night, there was one night that still scares me to this day and still gives me chills down my spine… even just typing this one out, I feel sick to my stomach. It is also the reason I made sure of closing my bedroom door at night. I remember I had just started the 7th grade and it was late at night on a weekend and I was making an edit for vine (yes I was one of those lol). I had left my bedroom door wide open. I kept hearing someone or something stomp through the hallway. My mom then texted me late at night and asked me “is that you? can you please be a little more quiet” and I texted her back “no?” I then looked up and looked in my little sisters room which was diagonal from my room… and I saw a dark figure standing over her bed and you could tell it was staring at her. I then, trying to convince myself not to acknowledge it, turned over in bed so I was looking at it… but ofcourse I couldn’t NOT acknowledge it, so I then looked back, and it was then leaning in the doorway of her room, and looked like it was staring at me. So I decided to get up and close my door. As soon as I closed my door, you could hear the loudest footsteps going through the hallway and down the stairs. This then woke up my mom and my other sister (my dad was working nights) and my mom opened my door and was like “you heard that too?” all freaked out. AND THEN… US THREE… all heard the Sims 3 turn on downstairs. Instead of going down there to turn it off, we were all spooked and decided to just let the ghost play the Sims. I don’t know if maybe I was just scaring myself… but I also hadn’t thought of anything scary and didn’t watch anything scary, but that’s what I saw and even just thinking about it still scares me.

I think that’s all I have for this post… but if you guys want to hear more, I’ll post an update. What do you think about these situations?? Do you believe in ghosts?.. Do you think this was something much darker than just a ghost or poltergeist?
