Something's Creeping on You is it Already Too Late?

Alright, here goes nothing. This is actually my first time since I've brought these incidents up since they happened cause I really don't want to think about them, but it seems that there are few people in here that have had something similar happened to them, so I wanted to share my story.

Now before I start I would also like to mention that I don't believe in god or any higher power so to say, and I resigned from church as soon as I reached the legal age to do so myself. I've always wanted to think myself of being behind the wheel of my own life and I've not even prayed once since I got out of elementary school. But enough of that, lets get on with the my story.

It all started at July of 2009. I was spending my summer holiday from school with 2 of my friends, Tanja and his boyfriend Jani, and my sister, Nina, at our apartment (I was living with my sister for a while back then), and we were spending the evening by having few drinks and playing cards. After a few dozen rounds the clock was around 1-2 at night and we were starting to get bored in just playing cards. At this point we started to think what else we could do to pass the time and have some fun and Jani had just the thing we needed, an Ouija Board.


At that point I was mesmerized, I hadn't ever even seen an Ouija board and I was tempted to try it out, but I didn't just want to do it at our apartment cause I knew that there was abandoned house just 200 meters away from my place where we could get into the mood. So, we packed candles and few drinks with us and set course to the said house, at the same time speculating what we would experience. We arrived at the house around 2:30 and I was not sure if the door would still be open, I walked to the door and turned the knob... *click* The door was still open and I remember myself smirking when we entered into the house.

The house was old and badly damaged over the years of not being taken care of and you could see it just by the outside lawn which was covered in weeds and dandelions. Every step we took made the floor squeak and I was almost thinking that it would give up and collapse from our weight, but we made it to the living room which still had the old musky couch and nicotine stained tapestry. This was the place where I wanted us to set up the Ouija board and I started to light the candles while Jani set up the board.

The girls didn't want to participate in the game, so it was only me and Jani who would have to get our hands dirty. The first few questions were simple such as "Are you here?" "How many of you are there?" and such on, and I was sure that Jani was moving the glass since he had done this before and I was sure that he would just try to get me and the girls frightened. Well it was working for the girls since they wanted to go back, but I just smiled and said "alright, we'll go back, but first I want to ask the last question."

I put my fingers back on the glass and stated my last question "Who are you?".... a moment of silence crept on us.

The glass started moving again, slowly. "A", at this point I took a look at Jani since I was expecting him to be making up a name on his head and trying to get the glass to move on the right letters. "N", but I was in a disbelief when I saw his face, he looked really pale, no, more like scared as hell. "D", the glass was starting to speed up and I was still looking at my friends pale expression that he had frozen on his face. "R", at this point I was starting to finally get freaked out myself, but still managed to keep my composure. "A", at this point Jani raised his hands in the air and said "No more". Maybe it was just my imagination, but even after Jani had raised his hands, I still felt an unexplainable force moving the glass one more time... "S"

"Andras"

I said the name out loud and following my word, there was a loud tumble sound that came from the upstairs of abandoned house. A moment of silence passed by once again while we were still sitting down in disbelief of what we just saw and heard. I remember my sister asking something, but it all was drowned in the panic I was feeling when the squeaking returned... the upstairs floorboards were squeaking. At that point we all had the same idea on our heads, and that was to get out of there as soon as possible. We grabbed the candles, the board and our coats from the floor and ran out of the house as fast as we could and didn't stop until we were in a safe distance away from the house. My hearth was still jumping when we got back to the main street and stopped running. I let out a nervous laughter and others joined my laughter that to be honest, sounded a little maniacal at the time. After that we started to walk back to our apartment, but I had a feeling that someone was watching us, and I could swear that when I turned to give the house a one last look, I saw a dark figure at the up stairs window, prying on us.

That was my first and last encounter with a Ouija board, but I believe that some damage has been done, since after that incident I've gotten 2 more encounters with strange happenings in the past 2 years that date pretty closely to the date that we went to that house to "have some fun".

The first incident happened little over 1 year after the board incident I think. I dint tell about it yet, but me and my sister have a third family member in our household, and that is our loved golden retriever named "Speedy" (that's because she has more energy then in a small town), and she loves to sleep with me at nights. Most of the nights she just comes in the middle of the night, jumps in the bed and lays down besides me. Well my sister was working in a night shift that day since she's a waitress in a large gas station complex that has burger joint and a shop in the same building and it's open 24/7. I had gone bed around midnight since I had to wake up early for work. In the middle of the night I woke up cause I heard clicking sounds in my room and I knew exactly what it was since I had heard it tons of times before, it was our dog searching for a place to sleep. But for some reason the sounds stopped right next to my bed. A moment went by and nothing happened, she didn't jump on my bed like she usually did, she was just sitting there staring at my back, or so I thought cause that when something heavy pressed against my back and I felt a cold breath on the back of my neck.

I was scared stiff and I don't know how long I layed there but after a uncertain amount of time I gathered my guts and turned over swinging my arm towards the light switch of my nightstands lamp. My hearth was racing and I was drenched with cold sweat when my fingers hit the switch and light illuminated the room... what was there just a second ago was gone now. First I thought that it was just my imagination playing tricks on me and I thought that it really was Spedy who just came to say hi, but for my surprise, the bedroom door was closed, and something was clawing the other side of the door.

My blood froze once again after I heard that scratching sound.. Was it back? I didn't know and that was what scared the living hell out of me. But then I heard the familiar whine from the other side of my door, THAT was our dog. I rose up and opened the door and what do you know, it was her, but the reaction I got was something I didn't expect. She was shaking like she had a seizure, and her walking looked forced and awkward, she looked terrified just like I was probably looking like. Anyway she hopped on my bed like saying "Neither one of us wants to sleep alone tonight", I went to bed, closing the door but leaving the light on this time and it took me many hours to get sleep, not just because what I experienced but thinking if our dog went through something similar.

I never told this to my sister cause I didn't want to scare her, but I did ask if Jani had had something similar happen to him, but it seemed like I was the only one.

Now lets roll a year forward again to this year and the end of July. I had somehow gotten rid of that haunting incident and still at this point, I was thinking that it might have been between my ears, and nothing more. I didn't live with my sister anymore, we moved to separate apartments at the end of 2010, and I had found a new place to call home for now. It was a typical Friday night for me, watching movies with some friends over, having few drinks and having fun. The evening stopped shortly after 1AM and I still thought that I could go for a few rounds of Supernatural (the TV series) before going to bed, and so I did and I fell asleep between the episodes.

I woke up to a familiar feeling from sometime back, something was watching me again. Now I have 4 closets at the opposite side of my bed, about 2 to 3 meters away from my bed, and when I woke up, I saw one of the doors hanging open. And I could swear that in the back of that closet I saw... something, I cant describe what it looked like but it was looking straight at me, and I could swear that it was smiling at me. At this point I sprung out of my bed and rushed to the balcony, locking the door behind me. I sat there for what must have been an hour or so, cause I smoked 1 full pack of cigarettes while being there before I dared to go back inside. I carefully went back inside flipping every light switch I could find on the way cause there was just 1 thought in my mind, and that was to get my phone and get the hell out of there. I finally got back to my room and flipped the lights on. all the 4 closets were open and pile of my cloths were dropped on the floor from the top. At this point I grabbed my phone from the night stand, hopped in my car and drove to my friends house for the rest of the evening. I couldn't tell them what happened yet again cause I'm not sure if it's in my head of actually real.

I don't live in the 2nd apartment anymore either, I just couldn't after what happened and I'm at my 3rd place at this moment, but the question is, am I safe in here? Is it all in my head? Or, is something coming after me once again in the next years July and what if it catches me this time?
