[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great timing with Halloween around the corner and the release of "Paranormal Activity." When we moved into our almost 100 year old house, my DS was terrified of something in his room and kept waking up in the middle of the night. He asked me "Whose the old lady in my room at night?" He slept on the couch for almost a year. My sister was visiting and slept next to the room where DS sleeps and said she kept waking up at night because she felt someone sitting on her bed. She hasn't been back to visit since. I've heard knocking on my bedroom door when there is no one there as well as foot steps and banging. There's a room in my basement where my dog refuses to enter. I could go on and on.[/quote]

This isn't my story, but I have heard 17 different members of the same extended family tell it. My friend left her abusive husband. She moved her 7 kids halfway across the country for a fresh start. For a long time, they framed into 1-2 bedroom apartments because all she could get were shitty jobs. Then, someone told her about an old farmhouse for rent. The farm fields had been bought by a neighboring farmer, but he rented out the house and barn. Hew as asking less for the house than their two bedroom and it was zoned to a nicer school. So she rents it.

They move in and instantly there are problems. But when you have 3 boys between 5 and 14, it's easy to write off noise as the kid you don't see at the moment. Then, it started happening while the 8 of them were all seated at dinner. The mom's Catholic, but she forgets or ignores everything we learn about how to handle this. She tries befriending it. That just strengthen it. She tries fighting it herself. Now it's mad.

By the time her family drives out there for Thanksgiving, they are sleeping bunched up in two of the six bedrooms. Her brother takes a third bedroom for his wife and kid. One sister and mother take a fourth room. Her baby sister refuses to share a room and heads for the one room they never use. My friend and her kids all plead with the sister/aunt. She doubles down.

A little after midnight, they are all awakened by sobbing and pleading from the baby aunt's room. The adults run in and find two dressers on top of her on the bed. It takes my friend, her brother, other sister, and mom to pull them off. They said the furniture felt heavy until they got it off her, then it was lightweight. They also felt dizzy, full of dread, and like time was passing very slowly.

They drag the sister off the bed and into the hall. The door slammed shut behind them and they hear furniture crashing up against it.

The entire family hightailed it out for the night and slept in their cars. Baby aunt still can't talk yet about what happened. The next day is thanksgiving so nothing's open and the motels are packed. So they head back into the house. It looks like a bomb went off. They grab whatever food isn't ruined and have tuna and ham sandwiches for breakfast and thanksgiving dinner.

The brother's wife decides she can talk to this spirit and goes inside. At first, all seems good. No screaming. No flying furniture. But then 30, 45 minutes go by and they realize they've heard nothing at all. The adults go back in the house and start getting dizzy and moving slowly. They decide to split up and each search two rooms, then leave. My friend finds her SIL with her face plastered against the wall in the bad room. She grabs at her and gets pushed back out of the room. She gets her brother, sisters, and mom. The had to make a human chain to get the SIL out. She said something had her hair and was trying to pull her through the wall. The hair on that side of her head fell out. It grew back silver.

They said "F-ck this house.", slept in the cars again, and the next day hired a Uhaul and moved everything out, then came back to Maryland. Baby aunt became super religious.[/quote]

Terrifying.  Terrifying.[/quote]
