Home Alone (1)

I’ve been hearing/seeing spirits all around my house. I was home sick one day from school and my parents were at work so I decided to do some laundry. I got all the dirty clothes from my room and headed to the basement where I saw a black shadow with a hat on right at the bottom of the staircase. I immediately called my mom while she was at work she just told me to watch some TV to get my mind off of it. But she didn’t understand I was so terrified.
I took a nap thinking I could sleep it off and a black shadow appears standing in front of me. I start crying and put the blanket over my head. When I take the blanket off the shadow is gone. When my mom got home later that night and I told her that we could have a ghost in our house. She just told me there was nothing in our house.
A couple months later my parents went out for the night with my brother and my sister was at her friend’s bonfire. I was a little upset that I couldn’t go hang out with my friends so I stayed home. I heard noises coming from the back hallway later that night. It sounded as if someone was watching television so I went back there to check it out and all of a sudden in the bathroom the shower curtain pops open and my little brother’s bath toys start talking. I thought they were broken because of all the water but apparently not. I close the door in the bathroom and the toys go off again. I open the door and they stop I stood in the doorway for about 30 seconds then closed the door then they all started making noise again.
I continue to the back of the house checking all the TV’s not and none of them are on. I know what I heard and I know what I have seen yes, I’m only a thirteen year old girl but this could happen to anyone. These were just two major events with a ghost that I have happened but I’m really scared and I don’t know what to do because it seems like no one in the house believes me about the things that are going on in our house.
