Things I've experienced - part 2

Image Credit: sxc.hu My third experience was in my flat. My roommate spent one night there alone and told everyone she felt really creeped out and uncomfortable. There were 5 of us in the flat and so it was not often anyone had to sleep alone over night. 4 months later I was the next to end up home alone. Around 3am I was in bed and woke up unable to move. I could feel everything and knew I was awake. I knew I'd left my lamp on. And I could hear running water. But I could not move. I then started to feel like I was being pulled backwards off my bed. Not from any specific part of my body but my entire body. I was so scared I was crying. With a huge effort I was able to finally move my hand and then quickly my whole body. I sat up scared and then I realised I could hear water running still it was loud like all the taps in my house were on. I sat and listened for a few minutes before plucking up the courage to get up and check for myself. Just as I got up the sound went away. A few months later my roomies got a dog and one day she started furiously barking at nothing. Then hiding behind my legs whimpering only to stick her head back out and bark again. I had to walk down the hall to where she was barking and wave my arms around to show her there was nothing to be scared of. She ran up to me and looked into the bedroom. She then freaked out again at nothing visible and refused to enter the bedroom. She barked constantly for a few minutes, even after I walked into the room to show her again there was nothing there. My flat backed onto a very famous graveyard.

Most recently I lived in a house that was recently renovated because the owner passed away. I often felt a presence when alone in the house and occasionally when my roommate was home. She also felt similar vibes so we decided to get a cat hoping to take some of the creepy out of the house. While in my bedroom downstairs I could often hear movement up by our bathroom. One night after we had our cat for a while I was used to her walking up on me while I was lying in bed. Once she reached my head I would reach over and cuddle her. One night I felt the distinct pressure of her walking across my legs and back only to reach and find her not there. Not anywhere in my room. Not even in my home (My roommate later told me she had brought our cat with her out to her parents house for the whole weekend.) As I sat with my boyfriend in our upstairs living room telling him these accounts in an effort to explain why I couldn't say that I didn't believe in ghosts he started to laugh until we both realised in the time it had taken me to tell him those stories my living room had gotten so cold we could see our breathe. We got up to go to bed because I was creeped out only to realise that the entire rest of the house was nice and toasty warm. We had a third roommate move in a few months later. About a week after she moved in I mentioned to her that I thought the house might be haunted or something. Before I could finish telling her where in the house felt creepiest she said she knew it was her room. She then proceeded to inform me that she had 2 shoe boxes in her closet that refused to stay on the shelf they fell off twice and then the third time they "fell" 4 feet across the room. I look back reading these stories and am struck that they could easily be made up. But as I lived them, I cannot deny that they are completely true. I am not one to tell people that I believe in ghosts and often think there must be some way to explain all of these occurrences. But try as I might I just cannot find anything that makes more sense than supernatural.
