Alright, though my ghost experiences don't actually include a sighting, they do have quite a bit of paranormal stuff that just can't be explained by anything.

There's one particular farmhouse near my town where my sister and her boyfriend stayed while the guy who owned it went on a trip. the place was uber creepy to start with. Part of the house was very old and it had weird books on witcraft and sorcery up in the second floor library. A porcelain doll was hanging in the main room on the curtains where you could see it if entering from the only three doors to the room. The place had swords, throwing stars, and some other assorted weaponry laying around. the whole place was like some giant museum of weird collectables. One painting portrayed Chronus of Greek mythology devouring his children. Another had some kind of vampire being impaled by a cross, and it happened to be located right above the second floor stairs so you could see it when descending.

did I mention the house had no locks? Yeah, it was also in the middle of nowhere. Images of serial killers coming in the night came to mind each time I was there. Her boyfriend (now ex) was and is a friend of mine, and me and other people we knew showed up there to hang on quite a few nights. the place had a sense of foreboding about it, though it was strongest at night. What's worse, the guy who owned it (around our age approximately) came home one day to find his friend sitting in the woods with his head blow off and a shotgun in his hands down by the woods. Mark another creepy location, the sharp path leading down into the woods by the woodshed.

Anyhow, nothing much happened there a lot of the time. Every single happening was experienced by more than one person, so I can't be full of shit. One common noise was footsteps upstairs. We'd hear heavy footsteps creaking across the floor. the floor up there was very creaky, and you could hear when someone walked above you as the main room was right below. Nobody was up there any of the times we heard walking around. mostly we were scared to go check it out because you had to reach the very top of the staircase to reach up and click on the light. We did manage to gather enough courage to check it out each time and found nothing at all.

Several times we left the house to find all the doors open. The doors all closed very securely in the house, and it was odd to find every single one of them opened. What's worse is the time me and Nick (sister's boyfriend at the time) were there trying to sleep one night and heard a loud crash. It sounded exactly like a screen door had been slammed forcefully from the direction of the living room that led into the kitchen. The problem is that no door is there. In fact, the place has no screen doors anywhere. Suitably creeped out, we went back to sleep.

Another time, I was there watching movies with a friend and nobody else was in the house. It was the last time any of us were there. We heard clanging around from the kitchen, as if somebody was slamming around the iron pots in there. We checked it out and everything was normal and in place. The pots there were huge, so there is no way a mouse or any other rodent moved them without taking serious steroids. It's funny that the occurances happened more often after the geniuses living there decided to redecorate the house. From what I've heard, ghosts have problems with new people and changes in their surroundings. The guy who owned it said the ghost(s?) had been dormant for a long time. I guess they just needed a prodding.

The weirdest experience was out by the pond near mightnight. the same friend who was there for the pan incident later was there with his brother and his brother's friend. We all went out to the stagnant little pond for no particular reason. Everything was dead silent. Then we heard what sounded like voices coming across the pond. The words were too faint to make out, but we could tell several people were talking and very low. Eager to find out what the hell was going on, we ran around the pond as fast as we could, looking in that direction the whole time. A field of tall grass was on that entire side, but we would have seen anyone running away by the moonlight. Nobody and nothing was there. We were pretty freaked out, so we took the route past the fields back to the road . Back in the house, the doors were all open inside, and we were the only ones visiting.

On a side note, the guy living there had a picture of Bin Laden on his door long before 9/11. My sister was tehre around 2000. The guy took off without telling anyone where he went off to but rented his house to people he barely knew. I wonder to this day if he wasn't some kind of terrorist or cultist. You'd really have to have seen the place to understand. I hope this comes out as readable. I went through it fairly quickly.
