As a child living in the country is very difficult, theres no kids to play with only at school, everyone in my town has there own farm miles away from eachother and it gets pretty lonley. My house is surrounded by darkness, dozens and dozens of trees block the sunlight from my house making it so dark and cold. My first paranormal encounter was when i turned 13, I had just got off my bus and was walking towards my house when something in the corner of eye caught my attention, it seemed to look like a little boy was standing infront of the barn so I ran to look thinking someone wanted to come play and as I searched and searched I found nothing so I proceeded to walk back to my house when i noticed a strange bruise on my arm it looked like a hand print as in if someone had grabbed my arm so tight and it inprinted on arm but the hand was so tiny there was no way i did that to myself, startled i ran inside to tell my mom but she couldnt explain to me what the bruise was i explained the little boy that i saw but it was a joke to her she didnt believe me. later that night i was getting ready for bed i kissed my mom and dad goodnight and walked to my room our house is pretty big and dark so i began to get a little frightend so i started running to my room when all of the sudden my room door slams infront of me, breathless i scream for my mom and dad so they come running out, in disbelif they try opening my door but it was jammed shut there was no way my door without locks could be stuck, as we tried opening it we here movment in my room so my dad runs and gets his shotgun thinking someone has broken in, he runs back and mysteriously my door reopens all by itself after being stuck. i was so terrified i could not sleep alone. the next day everyone woke up as if nothing had happened i was still in shock i went to school and gossiped about it to my friends at but they didnt believe me, i had a horrible day at school that day. arriving to my house after school that day i do my everyday rutine, i jump off my boss and make my long walk back to my house and as i was walkig i see the same thing again, a little boy standing inside the barn but this time he wasnt alone, there was a man standing on the other side they were dressed like farmers with the plaid shirt and the dirt stained jeans and the little boy had a white dirt stained shirt and his muddy jeans. i couldnt believe it i ran to my houses screaming mom, dad, moooom, daaaaad and here they come running out thinking i was in danger when they freeze at the sight of the boy and man finally believeing me they grab me and take me inside, they sit me down while they walk back and forth around the kitchen trying to find a logical explanation but there wasnt one. we lost touch of the subject a few hours later i took a nap before dinner and during my nap i felt someone touching my feet and hair thinking i was in a dream until something tugs my foot, i try screaming for my mom but my words wouldnt come out i was so terrified i couldnt move i felt like my lungs were closing up, i was so scared i didnt know what to do, time went by and i never forget this experience years flew by and i turned 18 i am no longer an only child i have two 6 year old twin brothers now, i am a graduate of bristol high school and im working my summer job at the town market getting ready to start college, the end of summer was approching and i decided to throw a party for all my friends and the teens in my town, my parents were going out of town and i thought it was the perfect opportunity so i asked them if i could have a little gettogether and they said yes me being a good daughter and student through out the years they accepted my little party, the night came and the party had begun i couldnt imagine everyone who showed up, friends of friends of friends of friends, it was more than the entire bristol high school and my school had about 60 students and thats being alot to me. everyone was drinking having a great time when all of the sudden the lights in the house started to flicker, rite off the bat i knew what it was, i couldnt believe this was about to happen again. i told everyone to get out of the house and take the party outside where some people already were around the fire. i look inside and the lights are going crazy startled at the fact that i have to stay here alone all weekend so i ask a few of my friends to stay with me. everyone was having a great time and we forgot about the little encounter we had. everyone was getting really drunk so anyone who drove to my house were going to stay the night, people started leaving and we started getting ready for bed and again the lights start to flicker,i payed no mind to it thinking it would go away but it sure didnt. i really didnt care because i was drunk, morning approched and we wake up to clean, boy was there a mess! people from the party came back to help and we decided to have another get together but this time no beer just hot chocolate and smores around the fire, we started telling scary stories all huddled up to eachother when i began to tell mine, you could see the fire start jumping and the wind picked up begining to frighten myself i stopped i told them i couldnt finish it because i felt so terrified and weird, i had goosebumps down my arms and the hairs on my neck were standing up, i felt like at a distance someone was watching me and i turned my head there they were the little boy and man standing infront of the barn and at a distance there was now a little girl in a night gown holding her teddy bear covered in blood! i screamed and ran to the car and everyone turned and saw them and were rite behind me! i called my mom to tell her and they immediatley made there drive back home, they arrived the next day and found the house a total wreck as if someone had broke in, everything was broken there was mud slung on the walls and muddy handprints on the doors! i could not stay there a minute longer so i grabbed my stuff and drove off to my friends apartment till i started college the next week. i felt so bad for leaving my parents but i couldnt stand getting scared and not feeling safe in my own home. the week went by and i moved into my dorm, months and months went by and i was loving the college life. i made my way to my dorm one night after having been at the library all night studying, i was tired and felt like a zombie, i walk in my dorm and my roomate was asleep. i lay in bed and close my eyes when i feel a tug on my foot i scrunched up in a ball and began to cry, i was so scared! i couldnt belive this was happening, i moved away from home for a reason and now it was going to begin to happen to me in college as well. i was scrunched up in my fetal position when i feel a tickle on my head as if my hair were moving i couldnt believe this was happening, my blanket starts coming off as if someone were pulling it off of me and i get pulled rite out of bed, i crawl to the door and try to make my way out of the dorm crying but the door wouldnt open so i jumped back into bed and cover myself up, crying my eyes out in so much fear! i will never forget that horrifying night, to this day i still get paranormal encounters, i am now almost 21 and i live in fear. i take medication to calm my anxiety down. i will never be the same again! spirits and demons are real, thats a fact.
