SPECIAL MENTION...7 - Strange Occurrences in My Apartment!

Syracuse NY

My husband and I moved into a new apartment--one that had a lot more space than our previous one --only one thing bothered me about it -- why was it available? I asked the landlord, who laughed at me and told me how the guy who lived there prior was looking for much more space than what the apartment had. I accepted that answer--not knowing there was more to the story...

We moved in on October 1st, 2002 ... on October 10th, my husband and I were climbing into bed and we heard what we thought was someone coming up our front staircase, which is INSIDE the building! Then our doorknob turned! My husband flew out of bed and started screaming---I froze--too scared to move. So my husband grabs the kitchen knife and slowly opens the door..... no one was there. Yet I didn't ever hear anyone leave. ??? Not 2 weeks later, on a Saturday morning, I heard someone break down my front door and storm upstairs, and through our dining room---I called 911....the police came to the house....there was a lot of snow on the ground, but no foot prints, and my front door was closed tight. ??? -Scared yet?

Keep reading -- and I kid you not that this DID happen! -- I have 2 mirrors on the bedroom wall. One day last week I noticed it looked like someone had SPIT on them and let it run off the edge of the mirror, and dry. My hubby said it wasn't him. I cleaned the mirrors. The next day, the same marks....I cleaned again, and this time I put a white paper towel on the top edge of them to "catch whatever was dripping".....the towels were clean, but the mirrors weren't!! Last night, and this is the reason I decided to submit my story -- "something" climbed on my bed with me and my hubby, and we saw the dent where it was sitting! --- do you believe now??

(NOTE: The author sent in this additional information:)

I just happened to notice things were "odd" for lack of a better word. So I started to "pay attention" to my home .... the oddest things were/are happening. Like it's freaking me out to the point that I have called real estate agents to get the history of the house. I have called the historical society....the landlord ... everyone --- and because it's a "rental" property, no one would have any info.... The neighbors -- well, that's a lost cause too -- the woman across the street is about 80 and looney as they come -- she shovels the snow across the street to my driveway! The neighbors on either side of us --one so new, and the other doesn't speak English. I did contact my cousin that lived that about 5 years ago -- she had the occurrences -- she said there is definitely a presence that there is unwelcoming.

To make light of the situation, I gave my "ghost" a name -- Charlie. Now when something happens and I can't make a rational explanation of what happened, I just say "well I guess Charlie's up to no good again..." My hubby at first was like "what?!?" So I explained "Charlie...you know --the "thing" that keeps stomping up and down the stairs...Charlie. There's you, me, and Charlie. Don't ask me to explain ok?" so Charlie it is -- but IT doesn't like it. It knows I am around. Lately I have been living with the lights on in every room when I am at home -- even when my hubby is there. And we sleep with the hall light on -- always -- for some reason, it doesn't bother us as much with the lights on -- but I'm gonna bother IT when I see my electric bill -- believe me!!

so ,, that's my story. No reflection in the mirrors -- I've checked that time and time again -- and by the way, the ones that were "spit" on, I've taken them down. None of the others have been touched.
