This happened when I was 17 years old.

My family and I moved to a very old rental home. The first six months were okay, but as the days passed, strange things started happening. My mother always used to say that she saw someone moving around the house.

Once, a very horrifying thing happened to me. I remember that my brother-in-law came for dinner one night. We used to have a maid that stayed with us. We were all having dinner at the table, and our maid was having dinner sitting on the floor. We all saw her having dinner on the floor. Suddenly, the maid was standing near our main door. We all got frightened as one girl cannot be at the two places at the same time. After a minute, she disappeared from the main door. My father said that maybe it was our imaginations.

Strange things happened to me from then on. I used to sleep in the main hall of our house. In the middle of the night, at 2 a.m., some force would wake me up and make me sit. I checked my watch and it was always 2 a.m. I’d then go to the sofa and sleep. This happened to me for almost a week. Every day some force would wake me up at 2 a.m.

I was frightened and told my parents what happened. My mother immediately told everybody to find a new house as she’d heard strange stories about our home and a girl who had committed suicide there.
