As Halloween is fast approaching, does anyone have a scary spooky ghost story they'd like to share?
I'll start.
Years ago, my friend moved into her first house. It was a 4 bedroom that she was sharing with 3 other girls. I helped her move in and that evening we all ordered pizza and stayed up chatting late into the night. I ended up staying over as was too late for me to get home. I stayed on the sofa, but couldn't sleep. I had this very uncomfortable feeling and felt I was being watched or at least that I was not alone. The feeling was overwhelming and I started to feel unsafe or that I was in danger but I couldn't say why, it was just a feeling of being unsafe. I noticed the lights flicker a few times.
The next morning, as everyone was getting up my friend asked me how I slept. I said I hadn't slept and told her how weird I felt and I didn't like the house. She said she felt the same and the other girls said they didn't like the house but it was so cheap compared to other places and they all got on well so they didn't feel they could move out. Everyone had noticed problems with the electricity at one point or another.
As I was leaving, we all walked to the front garden and I started walking to my car in the drive when a neighbour came out and waved hello. I don't know what came over me, but I approached him and asked if he knew the history of the house as we were all feeling a bit strange staying there. He laughed, said he wasn't suprised as the family who previously lived there had been murdered in the house as they slept. Apparently a man had come in through an open window, killed the family and stayed in the house for a few days before the bodies were discovered.
We looked up the information he gave us about the family and what had happened, and the story was true. Two of the girls moved out that week. I never went back to that house again. I still get shivers thinking about having slept there that night. I don't know if I was feeling the presence of the family or the killer?
Anyone else want to share their experience?
