Great-Grandmother Was Possessed By A Ouija Board

Okay so I've always been quite a strong believer of all paranormal-related things, my whole family on my mothers side are psychic in some way or another. My sister, myself, my mother, my aunt, and my nan all have had psychic dreams ever since we can remember, my great-grandmother was possessed by a Ouija Board for about 10 years, and my family must be some sort of attraction to the paranormal because there is not one person on my mother's side who has not witnessed a paranormal happening before.

I've seen strange things before, especially in my great-grandmothers house where I grew up as a child, I slept in the one room that wasn't warm, that had a strange sense about it that wasn't normal, and I often saw shadows and heard unexplained sounds in that room.


However, when I was thirteen and moved to a 2 bedroom house in Hayes, Middlesex, with my sister, her boyfriend (who, might I add are also my foster-parents), and soon-to-be my niece too. On the very first night we spent in the house, my aunt had stayed the night to help us get settled. She and my sister's boyfriend heard strange noises coming from the bathroom, somebody running the taps and having a bath, then getting out and you could literally hear them rubbing themselves with the towel. I didn't exactly hear it as it was that night, but I do remember having a rather strange but vivid dream in which I was staying at a friends house, and I stood outside her bathroom listening to her having a bath, running the taps and also listening to her drying herself with a towel. It was strange that I had that dream, yet everybody else except my sister heard it for real. We joked that we had a ghost with OCD, but we didn't seriously believe our house was haunted. The next night, my sister's boyfriend heard footsteps coming from my room, and he went upstairs thinking I was sleepwalking as I am a strong sleepwalker, however he heard outside the door, a child's voice, singing  some sort of Victorian nursery rhyme. He opened the door, and he saw nothing but me, fast asleep.

Things got much worse, but the worst thing is, 90% of the paranormal activity happened in my own bedroom. We began hearing voices, constant banging, footsteps and crying. One night my sister had a very vivid dream about a 14 year old Victorian girl, and we suspected this had something to do with our ghostly encounters. Doors opened and shut themselves, we saw objects move in front of our eyes. then one night in early November, I was on my way downstairs for a glass of water when I felt a hand push me, and I fell about 6 stairs onto the floor. My aunt stayed over at Christmas, and she had a dream she was being lifted out of bed. She woke up and there she was, about 3 feet above the bed. 2 days later, my cousin who is a practicing medium, stayed over. Crazy things started to happen as soon as he came into the house. We heard screams and thumps, furniture moved before our eyes, and we saw a great deal of orbs captured in pictures as we took them. We then all saw a figure behind my sister (in my room), a shortish man. We later found out that before the house was built 8 years ago, there was nothing around but a large country house, around the time of 1850 a family lived there, however the man was a psychotic schizophrenic, who shot his wife, and then tortured and sexually abused his three daughters (aged 14, 3, and a baby) until they died of shock and torture. Another 8 nearby houses were haunted by the same freaky family!

Since my cousin left, the hauntings haven't stopped, but they don't worry me as much. I've seen the man watching me through the mirror twice, and all the paranormal activity still occurs from time to time, but my cousin has taught me one and only lesson of how to cope: be scared of the living, not the dead.
