Since I was a child I have had many supernatural experiences. The one that stands out so clearly happened when I was 6 years old. My family and myself rented a cute little home in New Hampshire for the summer. We weren't there for long before we started to notice things just weren't normal. We started to hear crying at night and running up and down the stairs. When my mother would go and check, all the kids were sleeping.

The lights would turn on and off. Doors would open and close without anyone there. All the kids started to become scared. My mother decided it would be for the best if we just returned to Boston. My step-father didn't believe in anything supernatural and was dead against cutting our vacation short. He went out to the living room and started to yell into the air for the " ghost" to show herself.

From that moment on we lived in pure terror. The house was always cold. Even though it was hot outside. The crying became screaming and the running became pounding. There was an over powering smell of lilacs. We tried to leave, step father included, and all the doors and windows were stuck shut.

When we did get outside the battery cables to the car was ripped out! The next morning around 4 a.m. my mother came into the room where the children were sleeping and told us to be quite and that we were leaving. We were able to leave the house and return to Boston. When we returned home, my mother called the owner of the house. She found out that the house use to be her mothers favorite get away during the summer. She said that her mother died last summer in the house while on vacation.

She loved children and was fond of lilac flowers............... Those memories will stay with me for a life time.

Thank you for the chance to share my experience
