Upstairs there are noises of strange things such as footsteps and sometimes I hear people talking in my room. This happens aswell as downstairs too. One encounter upstairs was when i was going to bed about a year ago (2003) when all of a sudden, I started to hear voices of people talking. I get freaked out very easily, and this was something I've never heard before. A while after that I saw a shadow right out my window which is on my roof. I really was scared so i called one of my friends, they were scared too. Since then nothing has really happened like that. Downstairs is another story. One day over the summer (2004) my grandmother was over and we always watch that she gets out of our driveway safe. Well that day, when I was standing in my doorway when I saw a shadow right next to me! It looked like a man, but i wasnt really scared (which I am surprised). I dont understand why but it might've been my past away grandfather because I felt a kind of comfort then. From then which wasn't a while ago, i have never encountered anything like that again. I still believe it was my grandfather because that night I had a dream about him. I really believe it was him.
