This story happened to my friend who I trust completely and I have felt some of the same feelings but not to the same extent.
Here is some needed background. My friends Uncle was a real weirdo. He blamed her for many things, especially the raping of his daughter by a relative. She was a small child at this time and knew about the rape but was to scared to say anything about it. The truth came out later that she knew and he was furious and he never forgave her. About five years ago he committed suicide and his ashes were spread around the family cabin which my friend goes to often.
OK- Here’s the story. One night my friend was staying up at the cabin with her family and cousins. The kids slept downstairs and the adults upstairs. She was asleep when all of the sudden she heard the front door open and close. She listened intently and didn’t hear anything else. A few minuted later she heard footsteps coming from the direction of the door. The continued and then stopped at the foot of the bed which she was sharing with her cousin. She was freaked! She opened her eyes but saw nothing. She felt something though. The footsteps then went up the stairs. She calmed down after this and figured the person wouldn’t return.
An hour later she was awakened by the footsteps coming down the stairs and again stopping at the foot of the bed. She felt a very evil feeling (she believes the footsteps came from her dead Uncle). She is not a very religious person but she began praying to God for this thing to go away. Almost immediately her prayer was answered. The footsteps retreated and went back out the door they had come with a bang. Did her Uncle return to torment her?
I believe my friend has experienced this. Whenever I’m at the cabin I always have eerie feeling and I feel like someone is watching me.
Hope you enjoyed this.
