I am originally from NJ but when I was 16 I moved in with
my father in NC. He had moved to NC when I was 11 and
bought a piece of land in the middle of the woods and built
a beautiful house. The most interesting paranormal
experiences I have ever had happened in this house. I
apologize if this story is too long, I will try to keep it
as short as possible.
While I was living with my father we had two of my step-
mothers friends come and stay with us for about six months.
Their names were Karen and Lisa. Since we didn't have a
spare bedroom they slept on an air mattress in the upstairs
living room, in the back of the house. One night we all
went out to visit some family friends. Karen, Lisa, my
sister, my brother and I all decided to come home before my
parents. When we got home Karen was tired and went upstairs
to go to sleep. Everyone else stayed downstairs in the
kitchen. About 10 minutes later we heard heavy foot steps
walking from the upstairs living room almost to the front
of the house, which is my parents bedroom and directly
above the kitchen where all of us were sitting. Lisa,
wondering what was going on, got up to check on Karen and
make sure she was okay. When she came back downstairs she
looked startled and told us that Karen was knocked out cold
and when she tried to wake her she wouldn't move. There
was no way that she could have gotten back into bed (we
never heard the foot steps go back into the living room)
and fell into a deep sleep in a matter of seconds. All of
us were pretty spooked because we had clearly heard foot
steps walking around...even my brother was spooked and he
doesn't believe in ghosts.
My next story takes place about six months later. It was
spring and we were all enjoying the weather outside. We had
a small round patio table out on the front patio. We were
all sitting around the table talking, my Dad, my step-mom,
my brother, my best friend Kelly and I. We all started
talking about spirits and my brother was arguing with us
that they didn't exist and that when we die we get buried
and thats it. My brother had been getting ready to smoke a
cigarette before we all started talking and had it sitting
on the table right in front of him. In the middle of our
discussion he looked down to pick it up and it was gone! My
brother started swearing and saying that my Dad or step-mom
had snatched it while he was distracted, but that was
impossible...since the table is small and round I would
have seen anyone reach over and grab the cigarette and I
didn't see anyone and neither did kelly. My brother, kelly
and I got up and starting looking under the table and on
the patio, thinking that maybe the wind had knocked it off,
to no avail. We all sat down a bit startled. We started
talking about it and my brother was telling my dad to knock
it off and give it back. While we were talking my brother
looked down on the table in front of him and there the
cigarette was...right where he had put it. Again my brother
accused my dad of being sneaky but I would have seen him
put it back and he hadn't reached across the table during
the whole conversation. My brother still swears to this day
that it was my Dad or step-mom messing with him but I think
he really was spooked about the whole thing. I know I was.
When I was 17 I was getting ready to go out for the day
with my brother's girlfriend, my best friend and my twin
sister, who was visiting for the summer from NJ. I was
getting ready in the bathroom, doing my hair and putting on
my make-up. I had taken off my class ring and set it on
the counter next to the sink. When I was finished I looked
down to put it back on and it was gone! My little sister
had been in there with me and had seen me put it there. I
called to all my friends and told them that I had lost my
class ring. All of us, about 5 girls, started searching the
bathroom floor and counter and then proceeded to search
even outside the bathroom, thinking it had fallen and
bounced out into the living room. Confused and frantic my
little sister and I walked back into the bathroom to find
my class ring sitting right on the counter next to the
sink, right where I had left it. Needless to say both of us
were pretty shocked!
