Something Invaded My Home

For as long as I can remember I have been experiencing things that I just can't explain. For example: Hearing footsteps and seeing weird black little shadowlike figures running across the backyard and something or someone keeps moving my stuff. Sometimes I wake up in the morning only to discover that someone or something has scattered my clothes all across the room.

Over the years as I grew older, I got used to it. Nowadays I don't pay much attention to it anymore and I just accept it as a part of my life. I just wish that "thing" or whatever it is, stops messing around with my stuff because I am getting tired of looking for my keys and cell phone every morning.

But yesterday something happened that really creeped me out. Just thinking about it gives me goose bumps again.

I just got back from a long and hard day at work, and as usual I was home alone again. My little sister still at school and my parents still at work. It was just me and my two dogs. Usually when someone gets home from work they go nuts and they run around like crazy. But this time it was different. They just sat there on the other side of the backyard. I opened the door and I told them to come inside because it was pretty cold. But they refused to come inside. All they did was bark a couple of times and walk back and forth across the backyard. Eventually I managed to lure them inside the house with some dog biscuits. There was something strange in the air all day already and I had a huge headache. I decided that a hot and relaxing shower would make me feel better so I made my way up the stairs and into the bathroom. Just as I entered the bathroom, I heard the door open and close downstairs and someone walking into the hallway. I figured it was my mom or my dad coming home early. I couldn't find any clean towels so I yelled "Hey, do we have any clean towels left?" down the stairs to whoever just came home. For a little while nothing happened and I thought that whoever was down there, didn't hear me. Just as I was about to ask a second time, I heard my mom yelling from down the stairs. "Yes dear. Just go into the laundry room. There should be some clean towels in there."

I checked the laundry room, Found some clean towels locked myself into the bathroom and got into the shower. After about 10 minutes I heard my dogs go wild downstairs. They kept barking and growling as if a stranger was trying to get into the house. They kept barking for about 2 minutes and then all of a sudden they stopped and I heard someone coming up the stairs. I figured it was just my mom because she just got home from work. I was about to wash my hair when I heard knocking on the bathroom door. I turned around and looked towards the door and I saw someone moving the doorknob as if someone or something was trying to get in. The knocking continued for a few seconds and then it stopped.

5 minutes later I got out of the shower and as I was drying myself off, I thought I heard someone giggling. You know, the little girl kind of giggle. I listened to it for a couple of seconds and all of a sudden the doorknob started moving again. And again after a few seconds it stopped. More curious than scared I carefully unlocked the door and opened the door. I peeped around the corner and I saw my mom coming out of her room. I asked her if she too heard little girl like giggling. She didn't seem to notice me and just walked down the hallway and into our guestroom.

I walked towards the guestroom and when I entered the room nobody was there. It was completely empty. I was more stupefied than scared. Next thing I heard was the phone ringing downstairs. I decided to leave it for what it is and walked downstairs to pick up the phone. I answered the phone and that's when it hit me... On the other side of the line... Was my mom. She told me she and dad still had some work to do and they would come home late and that I should cook dinner for me and my sis. I immediately hung up and got the hell out of there. I stayed at my friends house and I called my sis to tell her she should go to our grandparents house for dinner. I didn't return back home until late in the evening.

I don't know what the hell happened upstairs but I do know that I saw my mom and that I wasn't dreaming or hallucinating. She looked EXACTLY like my mom. What freaked me out the most is that "IT" talked to me in my mother's voice. If anyone has experienced something similar and knows more about this... Thing, please let me know. Was it a doppelganger?
