Ghostly Expriences

True stories from myself of events that have happened at my mom's house.

Ghostly Expriences

Over the past few years I've had a lot of different unexplainable things happen at my mom's house. Those things can only be described as ghost encounters, at least for me, my mom and step dad have also both seen things happen in the house. Here are a few of them:

The lights in the family room

We have two lamps in the room that are controlled by a remote and almost every night they would be turned off while my mom is watching TV. Sometimes we can even hear the button clicking when it happens.

Music

Every once in a while I will connect my phone or iPod to a speaker and play music in the basement while I'm doing something else. Therefore sometimes the music will repeat certain lines in certain songs and/or the music will get louder at parts where I know I wouldn't usually do that. This only happens in the basement and I know the songs well enough to here when changes from its original tune.

Names

Over the years both my mom and I have heard our name being called. I've heard my name, "Erin", said twice by a woman. One of those times I was completely alone in the house and it was during night.

Yoga Ball

When I was in my basement one night with a friend we were messing around with a yoga ball and when we were done, we rolled it into the corner. Now the carpet ends before the wall so the yoga ball was not on the carpet anymore and the carpet has about a half inch lip at the edge. The yoga ball would not have been able to just roll onto the carpet by itself or with the help of the air conditioning either. After a few minutes my friend and I at this point had started watching Netflix, with a clear view into the workout section, where the yoga ball was, but we couldn't see the ball. Then all of a sudden we saw the yoga ball rolling across the floor to the other side of the room. At that point we were freaked out and ran upstairs, but nothing else happened that night.

I'm not trying to convince anyone that ghosts are real and maybe some people can explain some of these things, but to me the house has some extra guests. I even have more stories related to this, from a hand on my shoulder to the channel changing.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
