I have one. It was in the afternoon, not at night, so it's not as scary as it could have been. lol. Me and my sister carpool with a girl that lives in our neighborhood to and from school. And on this day, the girl's mom dropped us off at home, and we were the only ones there. By the way, the bottom of the stairs is right as you walk in, and the basement door is just past the stairs. So, when we came in, I heard a tapping upstairs but I thought nothing of it, for some reason. So, me and my sister went into the kitchen to get a snack and we were talking really loud, since we were home alone, and that's just what we do when we're home alone. lol. So, we didn't hear the noise upstairs. But, as we were talking in the kitchen, there was a silence and I noticed the noise again. I told her to be quiet and we stood there in the kitchen for a minute, just listening. The noises continued.
My first thought was that there was a burglar or something, so I told her that we needed to run past the stairs and out the front door. Instead, we crept to the basement door, which, as I said, is right next to the stairs. We have stairs where there are six steps up, then you have to turn to take the rest of them upstairs, and there is a loft at the top that looks at the bottom of the stairs. So, we're at the basement door, and we hear a knocking coming from the other side of it, inside the basement. We can also see the light turning on and off in that little space under the door. We thought maybe our mom and sister were pranking us, so my sister playfully knocks back. Whatever was there knocked again. Then, the basement light goes off and stays off.
While that is happening, I am still hearing the tapping upstairs, along with the doors opening and closing, and the faucets in the upstairs bathroom turning on and off. I know that there happened to be a few shoeboxes at the top of the stairs. Then, the top of a shoebox is flung down the stairs! That creeped us out, and my sister headed to get her phone out of the office. So, we open the front door, ready to run out, but then my sister tells me to go halfway up the stairs and try to see what it is. I do, and I see nothing out of the ordinary. So, we run out. Later we are told by our mother and sister that they were out shopping when we came home, so it was a ghost.
It was really creepy...I know that my house is haunted. We live in a duplex, and my neighbor is always telling us things that happen to her. Her ghosts are scarier. Like, once she was taking a shower, and her husband came in to ask her a question. She replied, and once she got out of the shower, she asked her husband if he had been up there, and he told her that he hadn't. And she saw a scary face in the kitchen window once. Also, her stepdaughter has seen ghosts in the house.
