OOOooOoo Spooky!

Happy Friday and happy reminder that ghosts is real! This week's story is simply about a ghost who is a weeee bit malicious with a dash a of creepy... 

“I have had a sinister spirit on my hands who I really wanted to share with you because it was quite a crazy experience. My roommate Claire and I moved into the top floor of an early 1900's house-turned-apartment unit with two girls of similar age living downstairs from us. It didn't take long before I started to feel creeped out in the apartment. If I sat in the living room, which was always cold, I could feel someone watching me in the room either behind me, or from a corner of the room I couldn't see. I never felt alone.

Slowly but surely, Claire and I  both started to  see shadows on our ceilings at night in our rooms. Hers came out of the shadow from her piano on her ceiling, like a hand reaching out of it, and mine came out of a shadow cast on my ceiling from a tree outside. We'd both be in bed, in our rooms, and text each other to see who wasn't having the shadow experience that night and we'd go to that room and sleep together.

Over time, the activity in the apartment became stronger and stomping began.

One night, Claire had a guy over so I was alone in my room, and they were in hers. Around 2:30AM I woke up to the intense stomping again and I was super pissed thinking it was the guy up for water or something, so I was up for a good 10 minutes listening to it before eventually falling back to sleep. When I woke up in the morning and went into our kitchen, all of our cabinets were open, even the ones that you couldn't reach from the ground. Again, super annoyed at this guy, I shut them all and when he left in the morning I told her how I heard him being loud and about the cabinets. She said she didn't think he got up at all through the night, he slept on the inside of the bed and she didn't wake up, so she texted him and he confirmed he didn't get up, or go in the kitchen at all that night.

We decided we wanted to do a ouija board and see who we were dealing with. We were in our living room and I was reading out loud to Claire the opening prayer I wanted to use – halfway through, we both heard a loud,  throat gargle sound from down the hall. We knew he was ready to chat after that..

I set up my computer to film our experience. It didn't take long before the spirit started moving the pointer in circles on the board. We began talking to him and found out he had died across the street from our apartment. We asked why he was so loud around the apartment at night and he said because he knew it scared us. We asked if he could stop and he refused. He said he found it funny that it scared us. We asked if he would leave if we helped him in some way and he refused. We tried to end the session by starting my closing prayer but he kept spinning our hands around the board, he didn't want to leave.

Then, my dog walked  into the corner of our kitchen and started growling and barking at the ceiling. He then runs into the living room barking and growling at the ceiling, then back again into the kitchen, all while the board is spinning our hands like crazy. We forcefully put the pointer to "goodbye" and everything stops. My dog stopped barking and we're just like, WTF just happened. I immediately thought, holy shit I got that all on film, and what do ya know- the video stopped recording at like 2 minutes and 33 seconds. Looking back, I guess he drew all the energy from the computer to talk with us. We didn't catch anything on the video after all. The next morning,  all of the cabinet drawers were open again.

To seal the deal on all of these experiences, I ran into one of the girls that lived downstairs, whom I'd only talked to a handful of times. I asked if she's ever felt like she wasn't alone, like something was always around and she replied, "Oh- yeah the dark shadow guy, yeah he watches me from the hall when I come out of the shower…”
