Shyann, Pomona, California, 1990
Along with my ex-husband, we moved into a house of a friend, renting the
back room. We tore out the carpet and re-decorated it. Sometime after that,
we were laying on the bed talking. All of a sudden we heard the dishes
clanging, the water running, and the fridge opening and closing. I had just
done the dishes. We thought our friend had come home early from work. My
husband told me to go say hi. I didn't want to, but I walked down the dark
hall to the kitchen. When I got to the kitchen, all the noise stopped and no
one was there. I ran back to the room to verify with him what we both heard.
He said he felt that house was haunted even before that. That was the first
time something paranormal had happened.
The second time, my sister had just left the house. I was folding the
laundry, and I heard her voice say, "Hey!" I said, "Ya?" No reply. I slowly
walked to the door and peaked down the hall. Then I heard her distinct car
engine zoom by the house. I knew it couldn't have been her. I was freaking
out. It mimicked her voice.
Another time, again, my husband and I were laying on our bed talking. All of
a sudden the door handle was pushing and pulling the door, very hard, and
very loud. As if they wanted in. Our door was unlocked. I quickly got up and
locked it. The door handle wasn't turning at all. It was like a force was
making the handle and door move back and forth, very violently. We were
scared. My husband yelled at it to stop. But it wouldn't. He yelled louder
and louder and one final loud, "STOP!" And it just stopped. Like it got
scared.
Another time, we were in the living room and we started hearing a scratch
from the carpet like a cat was pulling at it with its paws. We followed the
sound all over the room. Nothing was there, yet we are experiencing this. I
couldn't wait to move out of there. When I look back on it, I now realize it
was trying to communicate with us. But at the time I was terrified. Now I
have learned more about spirits, but I still wouldn't want to ever go back
to that house!
