When I was sixteen, my family and I moved into an old fashioned colonial home. I remember I had to start a new school and when some kids asked me where I live I told them the address their eyes widened and they looked at me like I had ten heads. I shrugged it off, until one kid told me that the house was very haunted and that a couple of families have moved in and left within 6 months. I figured it was BS because I couldn’t understand how a house this nice could be like that.
Our mother worked nights and since there were five children in my family, I am the oldest, triplets, all boys, and a little sister and three bedrooms, my mother decided to let me have the basement as my own room, I had no problems with it because it was huge. The only problem is it used get freezing cold in the middle of the night. It was August and so cold, that I needed to sleep bundled up. Well on the second night I was awakened by a low guttural groan coming from the corner of the basement. I slowly sat up and looked towards where it came from and saw nothing. While I laid back down I felt strong pressure on my right leg, it felt like someone sat down on the bed and was sitting on my leg. I yelled and then it was gone. Thinking it was all a dream I woke up the next morning and shrugged it off. Then as I went to the bathroom I felt pain in my lower back. I looked in the mirror and saw that I had what can only be described as a human bite mark. Now I know I couldn’t have bitten my own back and my door was locked from the inside I kept it to myself. Then I went upstairs to breakfast and noticed my little sister was very upset and I asked her what was wrong. She told me that a monster bit here on the arm. She lifted her shirt sleeve and I saw the exact bite mark I had on her arm. I asked my brothers if they had any problems that night and they said aside from bad dreams, nothing else. I hoped that it was only a one-time thing so I tried to forget about it.
The next couple of months was pretty quiet, some weird things happened, like things disappearing and showing up in odd places. All of us having violent nightmares, and definite mood changes in the whole family. Then, one Friday night things went from weird to terrible, my mother was at work and my three brothers were spending the night at their father’s house, it was just me and my sister. I fell asleep on the couch and was woken up again to a blood-curdling laugh. Chills ran up and down my entire body as I was petrified to even move. I went to sit up when I was jolted back down on the bed, I was being pinned by something, and I couldn’t get out of this grip, I couldn’t yell or anything, then I felt a burning sensation on my neck and my right arm. I made one last effort and broke free. That’s when heard my little sister scream, I ran to her room and saw her laying on her bed with her hands at her sides and he wincing in pain. I ran to her and grabbed her and carried her to the bathroom. I looked at her and saw scratches on her right cheek. She then said, “You got scratched.” And I looked in the mirror the I was also scratched on my neck and arm. We ran from the bathroom and down the stairs into the living room. I should’ve known not to stay in the house but I was more concerned about my sister’s well being. Then we heard some scratching noises coming from the of the front door like a dog scratching the door. We then heard a voice in a very deep and creepy way from all around the living room say , “Leave!” My sister screamed and we ran from the house and went and stayed the night at our neighbors.
I knew it was supernatural forces, so we told our mother what happened and since she is not a believer in ghosts, we showed her the scratches but she thought we were fighting and did it to ourselves. So the next night she decided to call out of work and stay with us. We were all on the couch watching television and my little sister fell asleep on my mom’s lap. Well our clock struck 11:00 p.m. and we heard what sounded like rushing water, so my mother and I ran upstairs leaving my sister asleep on the couch. When we got to the bathroom we saw that the tub was filling up with piping hot water. I turned it off and steam was streaming up from the tub. My mother looked pale white as she looked in the mirror and saw what looked like a shadow on the wall next to me. We let the water out of the tub and went to go back downstairs when we heard my sister scream, we got to her and saw she was laying on the ground being held down by unknown forces. My mother laid down on her and started to scream, in front of my eyes I saw a red bruise start to appear on her forearm. And it formed a bite mark. She grabbed my sister and ran from the house. I was right behind her when I stopped dead in my tracks and screamed, “Leave us alone!” When the front door started to close slowly, I ran to grab the knob and the door slammed shut! I then said in a calm way, “What do you want?” And I felt a cool breeze hit my back, and then a whisper right in my ear say, “We want you to leave our house.” I then panicked and ripped the door open and fled the house again.. We decided to stay in a hotel for the night, and talked it over and decided that whatever it was in the house didn’t want us there so we were going to put the house up for sale and leave and in the mean time we would stay with our grandmother. When we got back to the house the next day we went to pack things up and it seemed to be very calm. So we packed some things and left. The house sold very quick and we were out not too long after. This house still stands and is currently for sale! Since we left I heard there were three other family come and gone. I believe it!
