Haunted Apartment
I am a true
believer of paranormal activity. I
have personally witnessed different
accounts, and
in different places. But this one apartment I will never
forget! Back
in
1988 when my sister and me were still living with our mother,
we had
moved
to this two room house. It is right down the road from my
grandmothers’
house that we were living in just before we moved. We rented
the
upstairs
apartment; it had 5 rooms and an attic. At first not much
happened that
I could recall, except for the house being crooked or
unsettled.
You couldn’t even hang a picture up because of this. Well
things
started
off with the lights flickering on and off. Then my room having
no
heater
in it, and four windows had made it a little cold. But there
was one
night
in September, when it was about 60 degrees outside we were in
the house
going into my room when it was suddenly freezing so much that
you can
see
our breath clearly. In the weeks to follow we heard stomping
on the
inside
steps from our outside door to the landing where our apartment
is about
7 or 8 steps. It would start at the bottom and work its way to
the top,
then start over again. It would do this about 4-7 times than
quit. This
happened about once or twice a week. Also one day we were all
in the
living
room watching TV, when we heard tapping on our windows. In
sequence
from
one to the next all around the apartment. I know this because
my sister
and me went to the other rooms as this was happening. She even
waited
by
one window for it to come around to see if anybody out-side
could be
doing
this, and it still knocked, with nobody around! This knocking
went
around
the house about 3-4 times. And that never happened again. But
the worst
experience came when I was taking a nap one afternoon, and was
kind of
having a dirty dream. I won’t say what it is. Well when I
awoke and
opened
my eyes, I heard this train sound followed by a roaring, like
a lion.
And I felt it entering me like a freight
train,
it went through what seemed like my mouth and went deep down
in my
stomach.
Then after a couple of seconds, when I realized what happened
it came
roaring
back out!
I am a born
again Christian, and I believe it was
the Holy Spirit in me that chased it out.
Well not long after this this, a couple of
days
later the electric shut off, we went without electric for
almost two
weeks
when my mother decided to finally move out and back into my
grandmothers
house, which had a lot of occurrences too, but hasn’t had any
in a
couple
of years. Well I forgot to tell you that we lived in the
upstairs
apartment,
and the people who lived downstairs confessed they heard the
stomping
on
the steps along with other things we didn’t experience. And
also when
the
electric went out the landlord had people come in to check it
out &
they found nothing wrong with the wiring but still
couldn’t get
it
to work. I t wasn’t until we moved out that the electric came
back on,
by itself! Well ever since we moved out, every time we would
drive pass
the house and we would check to see if people would be moving
in or
out,
and they have quite frequently and I know why! It is now the
year 2001
and people are still moving in and out at least 3-4 times a
year.
