I never used to believe in those things that went bump in the night. Until 4 years ago this week when our friend died in a motorcycle accident. After he passed we frequently had little visits from him. The stereo in the garage used to turn on in the middle of the night, full volume to a local blues station. A station that we never listened to. He used to show up every now and then, turn on the radio, and after I would acknowledge him, it wouldn't happen for a few months.
Then for several months after my grandfather passed my mom, my aunts, and I, would find hot water running in our bathrooms when no one else had been in the room. My grandfather was known for demanding scalding hot water before he would bathe or wash his hands.
But that is not what has been haunting me lately.
Since we moved here to this house there have been... things.
Starting shortly after we moved in, I was returning from the store. I pulled into the driveway. Our master bedroom windows are above the garage. As I got out of the car, I clearly saw a hand move the curtain in my room as though someone were checking to see who was pulling up. I thought it was my oldest son. Imagine my shock when I walked in the house, seconds later to find him sitting at the computer desk. I knew I had seen the hand of someone upstairs in our room. There was no fan blowing, no air moving to move the curtain. I told my husband who immediately checked out the whole house (with his gun. Men!). Naturally, he found nothing.
I managed to convince them that I was wrong and left it at that, but I KNEW I had seen something.
Frequently when I am up in the room alone, I hear someone walking up the steps, but no one ever arrives to the top.
More than one occasion I have been laying in bed at night and felt someone sit on the edge of the bed, only to find no one there.
My hall closet doesn't ever remain closed, even when I have been positive it was latched.
My grandpa and my friend never bothered me, because they were loved ones. But this one? I don't know who she is. I do feel like she is a she though.
I wonder who she is

Have you tried asking her? How old is your house?
I haven't thought of that! The house was built in 02 or 04 so it isn't that old. From what I was told, it was always a short term vacation rental until this year when we moved in. I guess I should do some research!
You should keep a journal!
