Within these walls

Dear Diary,

It has been yet another year and once again it is all still happening. Doors opening and closing on their own, things falling on the floor without anyone touching them etc. I've gotten used to it so it doesn't bother me as much and Sam and Colby's videos have been helping me out a lot as well. If I'm being honest, they make me look on the brighter side of things and they make light of the situation.

A few months after I had started watching their videos I wanted them to get a whiff of this paranormal phenomenon for their YouTube channel. I messaged Colby on Instagram filling him in on everything that has been going on, I doubt he'll reply but it's worth a shot right?

Today my mum decided to take the family to go and see my older sister near the beach, I wasn't invited so I had to stay home and look after the house. She said they were going to be away for a while and she'd message me when they were coming home. Me and my older sister don't get along because she claims that I always bring a bad vibe with me or a haunting presence. I don't like her because when she lived with us she would always lie and get away with it and she would wind me up and really test my patience but now she is no longer living with us I feel a lot more relaxed.

When my family left to visit her, I waved them off at the door and as I closed the front door and locked it I heard crying coming from the dining room. At first, I thought my mum had accidentally left my sister behind but then when I went to look, nobody was there. Just my imagination again right? haha. I then got a bottle of water from the fridge but just before I closed the fridge door I heard someone whisper in my ear "Look for the Polaroid" so I shut the fridge door quickly and ran up to my bedroom, not today you creepy fucker!

I tried to drown everything out so I sat in my room watching SpongeBob SquarePants, that was until my phone made me jump out of my skin. It was a notification telling me that Sam was live, maybe he was doing something silly with his friends or telling some good news so I clicked on his live. He was sitting with Colby while Jake was singing the theme tune to SpongeBob SquarePants, 'Are you reading my mind or something?' I thought but I just laughed and shook my head.

All my attention went on Sam and Colby, Colby had his phone clutched in his hand while he was smiling down at the screen. Sam began to talk about a new video that was coming out today in 5 minutes, he explained what it was about and he said that a lot of fans had been messaging them about their paranormal experiences and they wanted to share them on their channel. Sam, Colby, and Jake all began messing around and making jokes for the rest of the live before the new video came out.

After the live had finished, I went straight over to their YouTube channel and clicked on the video. Halfway through the video, I saw a short shadow figure run past my bedroom door and towards my little sister's room, I paused the video and went to go and look. I walked into my sister's room and what I saw was horrendous, all of her things were thrown on the floor and there was a purple handprint on the headboard of her bed, as I turned my head her net curtain slowly began to lift in the shape of a face so I screamed and ran into my bedroom and shut the door behind me.

When I calmed down and shook everything off I went back to watching the video on my bed, it came to the very last story they were going to read out and I got a little disappointed that my story wasn't one of the chosen ones. That was until I heard my username being read out by Colby, HOLY SHIT HE READ MY PARANORMAL EXPERIENCE TO EVERYONE!

He then went on to say that it was his favorite and he also told everyone that it was 100% true with images and videos to prove it which they played while they were telling the story!

The video ended and I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, then all I heard was 'ARE YOU READY KIDS!' and I screamed holding my hand on my chest. FUCK YOU SPONGEBOB!
