The Unplugged Radio

I lived in a weird house as a kid which resulted in chairs moving in other rooms when I was the only one home alone, kitchen cupboards being opened late at night when no one was awake. I could be sitting in the computer room late at night and watch a black cloud would float through a closed door and sit, suspended in the air across the room from me. I had footsteps that would walk outside my door. Then right after, I could hear loud breathing. I was so terrified as a child that I ended up listening to music to go to sleep (so I could tune out the noises.) I still to this day can't sleep without music. I probably could have convinced myself that most of it wasn't real as I aged, if it wasn't for  a certain weird happening.

It was about eleven AM, and my younger brother and I were waiting at home while my mother was out doing jobs. We were waiting for her to come back to pick us up, so we were sitting by the front window looking for her car. And then we heard my brother's radio playing in his room.

We both didn't understand why it was on all of the sudden, so we walked to my brothers room. My brother hid behind me, and I had to walk in the room first and the second I crossed the threshold, the radio went silent. On closer inspection, it wasent plugged in and there were no batteries in the back of it.There was no logical explanation for it playing. And my brother, a young boy had a bunch of match box cars, an old car play mat, swore and declared he had parked all of his cars neatly on his mat, in lines. But when we went in there, they were thrown all across the room. 

Luckily we  moved out of that house, but me and my brother still remember.
