READERS TALES
Shadows and Noises in our Home
Well I
am writing this after reading a lot of your stories on your site and finally
getting up the courage to tell other people about my encounters with an
"entity" we had at an old house we used to live at,
my family is the only one who knows about this since they had first had
encounters with this thing too.
We
moved in this house in June of 2003 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was a
corner house next to the Rio Grande and it had a big back yard that looked
like a park in the back and we loved it, the house was a bit older built in
the 1950's is what the landlord said, and he also told us the previews tenant
was an older man who had died in the back room of the house of old age. Well
that was to be my room and I had a lot of sleepless nights in it. Some nights
we would hear a lot of scratching of walking around in attic and
something that sounded like muffled talking, my room was always 10 degrees
cooler then the rest of the house and there was always an eerie feeling of
something watching you. the restroom was all the way across the other side of
the house and to get there you had to walk through the kitchen and across the
living room which was always real dark! it was the scariest feeling ever and I
dreaded walking through there at night, my little sister and my daughter would
share a room and every night they would hear like someone or something
was walking in the hallway and would lean on the door with all its weight and
stay there for a while and one night we all heard in the backyard how this
little girl was crying and then she would laugh almost mischievously and it
would get closer to the house when at the same time someone was walking in the
attic.
We had
a dog, a Chihuahua Doberman mix and he would bark at one specific corner in
the living room as if to warn us someone was there when no one was there, and
he would always be too scared to go in to my room and would always bark at the
bed as if someone was there, in the same room when I would try to go to sleep
I would feel as if someone was there watching me and I would always see a
shadow walk across the room out the corner of my eye, one time I was so tired
and annoyed by it that I threw something at the closet where I though it was
and told it to go away! it did but sure enough it came back the next
night. Our dog his name was Terry died when a car ran him over in front of the
house, which was a real tragedy to our family as we felt we had lost a brother
and he was buried there in that house, after that we would hear him bark and
scratch the door as he used to do when he was alive almost every night, we
moved about 2 months after that and I haven't had any more experiences since.
Sorry
for the long story, we had a lot more experiences at that house but I will
leave that for another time...
