story Babysitter's ghost
I've had several experiences with paranormal so I will tell you about the first one I can remember. I am now 30 years old so this must have been when I was about 6. At that time it was just my younger brother who must have been about 3 and one of my sisters who was the baby at the time and of course my parents. Now both my parents worked so we went to Donna's house who lived across the street. She had several children of her own most of which were teenagers or older. I beleive it was her teenage daughters that told me about the ghost that lived in their basement and how they had people come to the house and try to get rid of it but had been unable to make it leave. Well I was terrified of it but had never seen or heard anything in connectin with the ghost.
One day Donna was sitting at the kitchen table and her son who must have been at least 25 or 30 was standing on a chair behind her working on the kitchen light. I don't remember if I was standing in the doorway of the kitchen or I was on the living room couch which was right next to the kitchen doorway. My little brother was playing on the living room floor and my baby sister was in her playpen also in the living room. Now I remember their were alot of Donna's other children also there too just hanging around doing everyday whatever stuff. The basement door was right next to the living room and kitchen doorway entrance and no one was standing next to it when all of a sudden it opened and shut by itself. Then the light in the kitchen started going off and on (remember her son was working on this light) but I looked at the switch for the light (which was located right next to the basement door) and it was going up and down as if someone was standing there turning the light off and on. Then Donna's son who was working on the light starting shouting at the ghost to knock it off and quit messing around (and so on and cursing and swearing). Donna told him to stop yelling at it and just after she said that her dishes started falling out of the cabinet which held them. Now I'm not talking one or two plates, I'm talking lots and lots of plates and cups and bowls. They just kept crashing to the floor and breaking. Well it was at some point here that my fear must have taken over because I grabbed my little brother and sister and held them tightly on the couch absolutely terrified. Then the basement door opened and shut again and everything was fine again. I will never forget this, it is like it happened yesterday.
Well that's all for now............I will write some of my other experiences later.
