The Old House

Throughout her life, Carrie had experienced a series of strange paranormal presences, entities that she thinks are attached to the places she has lived in, shadow figures and noises, eerie feelings that come out at night. My name is Edwin, and here is Carrie. It's true scary story. When I was three years old, we moved to our first property. I didn't start to have things happen until I was older, at six or seven. Our bedroom was just one big room, and her parents put a divide wall into We each had our own room, We had the lounge room, and across the hall was my parents' room. I would wake up during the night to having that sensation or that feeling that somebody was either standing at the end of my bed or right next to my bed where my head was on my pillow. I would never see anything, any shadows or anything like that. It was just solely the sensation and it would wake me. Now, I never used to get scared. I used to just think it was a guardian angel or something like that. When I was born, my mum used to tell me the story that the night I was born, her my great uncle had been killed in a car accident. It was hours apart between him died and me being born. My dad's mum had passed away when he was sixteen. I used to just think it was one of them just stopping by, checking in that sort of thing. I never used to get scared from it. As I got older, I would start to hear what sounded like people walking around the house. Wasn't the house settling? You could physically hear the footsteps being made like like that sort of thing. I just learned to accept it. It wasn't until I got older that I started to understand more about the paranormal and the abilities that people have. I started to dive deeper into that. My grandparents had built a house and they lived on the farm he grew up on. We had to go up to the old house. We were getting a few things out that we'd stored in there. As we were walking out the front gate, my husband and my boyfriend at the time, he described one of my mum's auntists and I said, oh, you're joking because you've just seen a picture aside, and he's like, no, I just physically seen her as we were walking out the front gate. So she had displayed her face and he just seen everything about her, the curly hair, the short stature, the round face. Everything he described her to a tee. I wasn't scared. As I got older, started to go through secondary school, we moved house during that transition period of finding another house. We moved in to that old house at my grandparents' place. When we got there, the whole vibe I could feel it. I could sense everything about it put me off. But they had those old pictures like back in the day where they couldn't smile or anything. It was just like a poor trip. Although they were family, the vibe and the sense that I got from them, I just couldn't handle it. I had to take them all down and move them to a room that wasn't being used. I sensed that someone was there that we weren't alighting, but I couldn't physically see them. I could hear them, and I could feel them. I could hear the walking around. Actually mentioned to my parents once that I felt someone was following us everywhere we went, because it didn't matter what house we were in, that somebody was with us, or I could hear what sounded like somebody walking around. Somebody was next to my bed, or at the end of my bed. We lived in that house for about twelve months. Well, my parents found another property to buy. My parents found another property. I'd finished school by this stage, my brother had gone to college. We'd be doing our everyday thing. Come nighttime, it would be the same thing, and it would always be really late at night early morning stage. I would wake up to this sensation that somebody was next to my bed or at the end of my bed. This was both nights. It was only every night. My boyfriend now husband was staying over. We were in bed and he started talking in his sleep. It took me a minute to realize that it wasn't English that he was speaking. It was gibberish. But I nudged him to try and get him to just roll over and you know, stop talking. But I didn't. I nudged me again and again he wouldn't budge. I gave you with a third shove a little bit harder. His eyes open and they were glowing that yellow green color. It completely freaked me out, and I was starting to just lay into him, like hitting, punching, and he goes, why are you hitting me? I remember it like it was yesterday, but it was years ago. I said, your eyes were glowing green. You were talking gibberish. Your eyes opened and they were glowing green. And he didn't have any recollection of anything. I was so adamant. It freaked me completely out. And it was that night that I seen my first shadow in the corner of my room. And I didn't get a good feeling from it at all. He believed me because he's very open to the paranormal in the spirit world. He's asked me, did I hurt you? Did I try to do anything? I said, no, you were just gibbering in your sleep. Then I now, just you it open. You'd roll over and go back to sleep instead your eyes opening that were glowing green. It had me on edge. After that, we moved around a few times. It did settle down for a while, and then we moved to where we are now. We got married with kids. We've got three boys. We moved to the house that we're in now. That's when things started to pick up. Was when we moved to this house. I had been out to get take away dinner one night. I had my son in the back seat with me as I came around the corner to where our shed is I seen a shadow man. He had a coat on. It was just a black shadow. I could make out that he had a black coat on and he had a top hat. He was just hiding behind one of the trees we have in our garden. Peeking around, I could see where he was standing. It was next to the footpath and behind this tree. I went inside. I told my husband I'd just seen a shadow man out by the tree in the garden near the shed. We had the room that we had our oldest son in. Every night, without fail, around the twelve one o'clock mark, he would wait screaming his head off. Not just a normal baby waking up crying hungry. It was like run to his room and get him and bring him in with us, because something just kept happening around the same time every night. I said that I wanted that room for our room. My husband, he said, no, we're going to take the other room, and he sent something about that bedroom that we put our son in. The other rooms. We had no issues. I had a friend over for coffee one day. She said that she had just seen a little boy run into our playroom. I could send something at the end of the room, but I didn't. I can't see them, I can only feel them. She said. A little boy just ran into that room. I said, do you know what they want? And she goes, I just heard peace. Whoever's there, I just wanted peace. It turns out that we have a spirit of a man and the spirits of two kids, and the kids like to play mischief all the time. We have things go missing, and then all of a sudden, they'll be there again. One Christmas, I was sitting outside because it was a really nice, warm night, and my husband had gone for a shower. I thought my husband had played a joke on me and was trying to scare me from the door to the alandream I'd actually seen them figure of the man again. It wasn't my husband, but it was the same height when it came out. So were you just standing in the doorway? Said no, I was in the bathroom. That signified to me again that i'd seen this man. We had a just a family get together, friends and family and stuff. We have this little fire pit in our yard and we'd done some cooking outside. We'd all had a few drinks. So turned around and I could see again this man looking at us from our veranda. It used to be a sunroom and they opened it up into a veranda. They left the window at the end. I could see him watching us out that window. I said, I've just seen my spirit friend standing at the window. I seen him walk off and head towards our laundry, because we have an outside laundry. We went up there and you could physically feel their air change. You could feel the vibe, you could feel everything completely change. And they said, I don't like the feeling at all. We also have a shed where we park our cars. One of our friends that was living with us for a little while, he said, I can't go past the tank at the end of the shed because the sense that I get is just pure bad. I don't like the feeling at all that I get from just that section of shed at all. I don't get that sensation from the shed, but a couple of people have said that it's not a good feeling in that area. It's when we got to their house that everything started to escalate a lot more and made me dive a lot deeper into the history of the place and the land. Even though our house is built in nineteen fifty seven, I don't I think it's attached to the house. I think it's whatever it is, it's attached to the land. I mean year South Wales in Australia. We're in a little town called Guira. I don't know how many people are in this town. It's over ten hours since I was a kid. I've had this ability to since, but I haven't been able to speak to them more physically see them unless it's shadow. For I still have days where I will since somebody. I still get that sensation that somebody's around. A lot of it still happens at night. I've had had the occasional thing happen at daytime. On occasion, I hear the footsteps on the verandah, the our ghostly friend walking up and down. My husband he'll hear that as well. The other week, I was at home with my youngest sitting in the loungeyom. I caught it from the corner of my eye. You know, when somebody peaks around the corner from another room, I just stick their head around the doorway. I had a shadow do that the other day. Does it happen every day, but it is quite frequent. You can share your own story over on True scarystory dot com, where we schedule a call.
