There's multiple instances where I came in contact so try and read through to the end of this long story! A little background on the house I stayed in... The house was built in 1929 for the workers who worked for the copper mine in small-town northern Arizona. It's a very historic town but only has a handful of people in it. I like the town because it's so empty. The house is cute and small and is basically a square house with 4 rooms that all connect – the dining room, bedroom, living room, and kitchen. I was here on business.

So on the first night I was watching TV before bed in the living room and all of a sudden the window to my right starts rattling as if someone was shaking it. It felt like 5-10 seconds so pretty long when you're startled and scared. I was staring at the curtain as the window was shaking behind it but froze up to go check it out. I know it wasn't the wind because it was extremely windy ALL day and that was the first time any windows made any noise at all. It was extremely loud and consistent the whole time it was shaking (it was only this one window). So I got super scared and froze and didn't move for a long while. I was looking around and really can't explain it, but I was seeing stuff move (like, air was moving?) but only in the dining room. There was "air" moving in all sorts of directions in there. I saw things in the corner of my eyes but when I'd turn nothing was there, I figure I was just being paranoid and I probably was. It was just a very sensitive environment. I knew I had to sleep there that night so I tried to brush it off but was obviously still scared a little bit. I finally got the courage to get up and go to the bed and I called my boyfriend to keep me company. I had to wrap around through the bedroom to the kitchen to dining room to lock the back door (there was no way I was setting foot in that room, so I took the long way around. I honestly was too scared to even check the back door in the dining room, I checked from a distance to see if the door was locked and it looked like it was so I just let it be. I convinced myself I locked the door right after my run (spoiler alert: it wasn't locked). I left all the lights on for bed and honestly didn't move my eyes off my phone until I passed out. I woke up the next morning and everything was fine and I felt like I freaked myself out from it just being an old house and stuff.

I came back the next day after work around 5:30 and started making dinner. I sat down in the dining room to eat and as a joke I was taking a snapchat photo of the kitchen and began typing "So the Airbnb I'm at is haunted". Right after I took the photo snapchat thought I took a picture of someone's snapcode and that automatic popup/noise happened to "add friend" on snapchat. I was typing so fast I didn't see what it said, all I know is I hit the button and it added whoever popped up on the screen. I start cracking up like "I just added a literal ghost on snapchat LOL." The fact that snapchat recognized something was there was enough to make me freak out a little bit. Then I remembered how easily spirits can mess with technology and was convinced something was messing with me. So I posted to my snapstory about what was happening. When I was taking pictures in the dining room (the window specifically) the camera was glitching out slightly – like my phone was seeing what I saw the night before – that the "air" was moving. To the right of the window/curtain it was very noticeably vibrating/swaying back in forth on my camera. Honestly at this point I thought it was cool and tried not to freak myself out. I just took the photo of the window and went about eating my dinner! I texted my friends what was happening and then it just started getting really weird. At this point I feel like the spirit noticed I acknowledged it enough to the point where it actually began to mess with me and it all just went downhill from there. I started to feel heavy and as time went on I realized I probably wasn't going to feel comfortable in there once the sun went down so I decided to pack my bags and find somewhere else to stay. I felt like the spirit new what I was doing so they turned up the energy in the house.

As soon as I decided to myself I wasn't going to stay any longer I felt paranoid and heavy and I feel like my eyes were convulsing in a way and seeing energy move (like the night before). I can't really explain it. I felt like it could have been a house full of people but it was just me. It felt really loud in my head and I turned on music because I didn't want to hear unusual sounds and get freaked out.
