Do You Believe?

Wow, that's creepy. I've had strange things happen to me, but not to the extent that you have. I remember a particular incident when I was a teenager. I was in my room asleep when I was awakened by a sharp stinking on my cheek, as if someone slapped me really hard. I jumped up, but there was no one there. I noticed my door was opened which was odd because I always slept with it shut. I assumed my brothers were toying with me, so I ran into their room ready to kill, but they were sound asleep. I then walked down the hall to my mother's room and she was asleep. I went back to my room and eventually fell back to sleep. The next day I told my mom what happened but she didn't really say much. She concluded I was dreaming. I didn't really think much about it after that. I very well could have been dreaming. I was willing to accept that but then it happened again. I was newly married and living in an apartment not far from my Mom's house. On this particular day I had fallen asleep on the couch. I was again awakened by this sharp stinging on my cheek. I jumped up and there was no one around. I went into my bedroom and my husband was sound asleep. I assumed I was dreaming again but I could still feel the stinging. I soon forgot about that incident and went on with life. After my child was born, I wanted a house, I found this nice house a few blocks from where my apartment was located. I bought the house and moved my family in. Everything was going fine until I divorced. I hadn't slept alone for 3yrs. I remember being in my bedroom, very close to falling asleep when the hairs on the back of my neck stood straight up and I felt someone lay next to me. Chills went down my spine and I couldn't turn over to see what was going on. I just stared at the closet door until I couldn't feel any movement anymore and then I covered my head and forced myself to fall asleep. The guest in the bed happened often. I started letting my son sleep in my room so there would be someone next to me and I could convince myself there was nothing out of the ordinary going on. There was also an incident where I was sleeping and I was jolted awake. It was like someone hit me in the back of the head and yelled "Wake up!" As soon as my eyes opened, I was already sitting up in bed and my son (2 yrs old) was about to put his finger in the blades of a fan. I caught him just in time. He had woken up, crawled out of the bed and made his way to my side, where I had a fan blowing on me from the floor. That was very unnerving. I don't know what made me wake up but I was glad it did. I've since moved from that house and have had rare occasions of feeling someone with me while I'm attempting to go to sleep. It happened last week as a matter of fact. I was falling asleep on the couch when the hairs on the back of my neck started to rise and my heart started beating really fast. I felt as if I were being rocked and I heard strange noises. I got up and went into my bedroom where my hubby slept and attempted to go to sleep. It was very difficult to get to sleep because the feeling didn't leave me as I thought it would. I tried very hard to ignore it but I felt like I was being moved. I was finally able to get to sleep. I told my hubby about it the next morning. He thinks I watched too many scary movies that night. He could be right, I didn't watch a horror marathon. I don't think so though. I love scary movies, they don't cause me to have bad dreams or anything so I don't think I'd have any ill affects from watching a marathon of them.

Hreat story, I enjoyed reading it. I definatly that homes with history keep something of the lives which passed through before. And your house, being so old, I am sure has quite the history. I'd almost bet it is just visiting spirits of people who have lived there before. Seems they don't mean you any harm, just visiting. Maybe wondering why it took so long for someone to put in a full bathroom downstairs. Hey, you never know.

Yikes! Maybe it was because the house was disturbed when you started putting in the bathroom for your mom and the "strange" happenings started because the person wasn't happy to have their home messed with. I say it might die down after awhile if not I would be sleeping outside in my car..(if I had one) Cause that would totally be freaking me out. Maybe just tell whomever it is the reason your doing it and that your sorry for disturbing the home as it was. maybe it will work. Not much other notion except to have a priest come in or move.

Wow! very interesting. It is great to be living in such an old building. it must have seen a lot of history. Whatever is happening is i thnk related to the past history of the building. is is some thing supernatural? I wonder if it is scary. It woudl be fun to come and witness it. hey i wish i were near by then i coudl have dropped in.
