My fiancé and I have been living in a lovely one bedroom apartment with a small garden, lots of light and friendly neighbours. On top of that the rent is much lower than the average rent for an apartment like ours. Only thing is, it’s haunted. I wouldn’t say it’s particularly terrifying but there have been a ton of things happening that we cannot explain no matter how hard we try.
I have always been very sensitive to spirits/ghosts or whatever you want to call them, I don’t see them but I am always aware of their presence. Luckily, I have never felt threatened by the spirit in our home, I am just very aware of it.
It started with the usual, things you were certain you left in one spot suddenly being in a completely different spot. That I just blamed on my terrible short term memory. After a while we would get home after being out for the entire day and objects would have been shifted. It was usually just slight shift but when it comes to my art and sculptures I am pretty OCD about them so I noticed the moment I walked in that they were not where they were supposed to be. Then one day my one sculpture had moved a lot. It had been moved from one end of the table to the other. I would like to point out that this sculpture is VERY heavy. It once fell over and broke the tiles on the floor so there’s no way it would have been moved by someone bumping into it.
Other than that I often hear someone sighing in the apartment when I am the only one home. I sometimes feel a presence standing very close to me and I woke up one morning, again when I was alone, to a voice asking “Are you ok?”. My fiancé believed me but wasn’t entirely convinced until I was away in April for week. By the time I got back he was fully convinced. He experienced tea spoons dropping of the counter every night. The towels often coming of the towel racks while he was watching TV and if I remember correctly he also heard a sigh. One thing I can tell you is that activity is always higher if the house is a mess or if we’ve been away for a while.
Sometimes we will pull the mattress into the lounge and spend the weekend there so that we can lie in bed and watch movies and play Playstation etc. I remember one weekend when we did this and had the bedroom and bathroom doors closed. I woke up during the night to the cupboard and bathroom doors banging loudly over and over again. Let’s just say that this ghost was not happy with us. Shortly after that I was sitting on the side of the bath brushing my hair when a pencil came rolling across the floor from under the bathroom door.
One evening when we had the mattress in the lounge I remember not sleeping very well and when I woke up my fiancé was looking strangely at the wall where one red line was running down the wall. We tried to find others, thought maybe something had splashed but could find no other lines. I got upset thinking it was tomato sauce because then it would stain the wall but when I removed it there was no stain and it came off very easily. The next morning there was another single red drip mark but on the kitchen wall this time. Again, it went straight down and again only one mark. The next evening when the bed was in back in the room and the home was tidy, just as we are heading to bed we started the hear knocking coming from the lounge wall. At that time we had no neighbours so it could not have been coming from their side. As I headed toward the wall to pick something up that was leaning against it there was one VERY loud bang that shook the windows. So I backed away and went to sleep. The next morning my poor hamster had died from kidney failure. Maybe the ghost was trying to let us know that something was wrong.
After that it was quiet for a very long time, a few months actually. Until last week. We have now heard more knocking from the ceiling this time, and noises of movement in the kitchen. Whoever it is, I do not feel danger from it so it is welcome to stay. I suspect it was there long before we were.
