The Story Of Ben

Chapter 1...Background information and my past

It all started in 2011, but I never noticed anything until August of 2014. I was only about 13 years old in 2011, and now as of August 22nd, 2014; I am 17. I now know who Ben is. When it all started I never actually realized what was happening. I didn't know much about the paranormal and anytime I would ask my mom about things like that she would tell me to stay away from it and to pretty much ignore it. That's what I ended up doing; I just continued to ignore the stuff from my desk falling off, or lights being turned on.

I never noticed that Ben was with me, until he started to make himself 'known'. Ben would sometimes whisper my name, or simple words like "help", "camera", "mine", "baby"... or anything he could tell me. I was just always afraid of him because of the things my mother told me. She would tell me that everything paranormal was bad and that it shouldn't be bothered with. I remember this one time my father went out to our local Walmart store when I was about 12 years old and bought an Ouija board. Of course he thought it was just a game, since it was advertised as such, but I was the first one to actually use it. I remember the board so well because it glowed in the dark. Something about that board made me so attracted to it, and I used it the first time. When my mom walked in on me playing with it with my older brother she freaked out. She didn't even know my father bought it, but when she found out she was furious. She told me that I shouldn't be playing with it and I refused to stop. She told me that if things start flying off the walls not to cry to her. I didn't care honestly, I just wanted answers.

To say the least, nothing really bad happened with that Ouija board, except when we tried to get rid of it...We would throw it into the trash can and it would end up back in our house the next day. I remember my father even getting so freaked out he made a fire pit in the back yard and started to burn the board. Which, didn't work by the way. The only way we actually got rid of it was whenever we gave it to someone...I don't remember who we gave it to (maybe a relative?) but I was a little upset that I didn't get to play the game anymore..But, I got over that. I also never actually got any answers as to what the hell was going on when I played with the board...

I know that this might sound crazy or completely made up, but I'm being 110% serious.

I never really knew that this spirit, 'Ben' was always around me; or even that he was with me until about June of 2014. He started to whisper to me, touch me, knock things down or even just knock on the walls of my bedroom. At first it was terrifying. I thought I got mixed up with a bad spirit from my past and that he was coming to haunt me. Most of the time I could just feel something or someone standing behind me, watching what I'm doing. I knew that Ben wouldn't hurt me...He could never hurt me, could he?

He is always with me, even when I didn't really want him to be.
