I made an account here primarily to talk about and share my personal experience with the home I grew up in. Please excuse me if I'm posting this in the wrong place. I grew up in a pretty poor house, we didn't have a lot of money, and we didn't really have anywhere else to go. So I spent the majority of my life from about 1999-2018 living in this old house. The house was originally built in 1931, a year before the town was even established, and had five poorly made additions added onto it. While living there, many scary things happened that we all tried to write off... But the fact that none of it has happened since moving is why I finally think its time to talk about it. Upstairs was the worst part of the house. Shadow figures were frequently seen dashing up and down the hallways, two rooms at the end of the hall which nobody stayed in for quite some time, frequently had these figures in the doorways or dashing to and from these rooms, the room I stayed in I believe to be a hot spot as well, the figures would stand in the doorway and watch not only me but anyone who had the guts to stay in there... Frequently I would feel as if something was standing right behind me as I tried to sleep, nightmares were extremely common, on multiple occasions toys and possesions moved by themselves, usually, it would be a stuffed toy as we had many of them. One night I felt immense sadness and my eyes were fixed on the hallway I thought for sure someone was going to walk in very sad. I could sense it. I couldn't sleep for hours but when I finally did I just seemed to pass out quickly not really remembering when or how. There was a standing mirror my sister had that when she moved out, was placed out of the way in the closet of my room, she claimed to have seen many shadow figures in it, and I always thought it to be my imagination but it always unsettled me when It was in my room... We are a god-fearing family and we all pray nightly, so I really didn't want to believe that creepy stuff like this was actually happening... One night while praying, I even heard demonic laughs and taunts coming from directly in front of me before the sound slowly got distant as if it had walked away. Currently, the house is still full of nearly 20 years of old our junk we have yet to move, sadly, the poorly made additions have caused major water damage and the place is being taken over by mold literally regular house plants will not even grow in the home, not even when we lived there they would all die... Occasionally we go back to the house to rescue some things and bring them here to be cleaned up, however each time it is a very somber, chilling experience and staying too long in the house provides a paranoid feeling. We also have not packed any of the stuffed toys that were in that house for fear of whatever is in that house coming with them... I would have not ever believed in things like spirits or demons or believed they could ever be a threat, especially not to those who believe in God, if it wasn't for living in this house...
