Okay...i'll start at the very first incident of the house we occupied for 4 1/2 yrs. I was, i think, about 9 yrs old at the time. My cousin had stayed over for a night. We went to bed and all was well for i'd guess about 3 hours....I woke up to my cousin nudging me in a panic. When i was awake enough to understnd what was going on I noticed what he was scared about. In the middle of my room there was a small red dot making it's way toward the foot of my bed. I immediately jumped out of my bed and ran for the light switch, but when i turned on the lights they only stayed on for about 5 seconds then they went out....the small dot was comming toward me. The only thing i could think to do was grab something and swing at it while screaming for help....my cousin shortly after joined in. My father busted into the room and was pretty angry that we were being so loud. Im not sure what happened but I think shortly before he came into the room the lights went back on and the dot went away...making us and our story look pretty unbelievable. Me and my cousin slept in the living room with the lights on after that....if you want to call it sleep...i was up pretty much until dawn in terror.

Nothing happened for a while after that. I think it was about 8 months later that the next inncident occured

I had not personally witnessed this because i had stayed over a friends house this particular night. As I understand it, this is what happened.

My mother had surgery done on her eyes and was pretty much bed-ridden for a short time. When my mother needed something she would just call out for someone to get it or help her get to where she had to go. Well My father was at work and was due home at any minute. I had left about 5 minutes before this took place. My mother heard, or thought she heard, someone come in the front door. She then, thinking it was my father, called out for him to help her to the bathroom. She says she heard steps comming up the stairs and into her room. Then she felt someone grab her by the arm to help her out of bed. She thought the person was my father and was leading her to the bathroom. What had ahold of her had other plans. Whatever it was lead her to the foot of the stairs and then shoved her down them with great force. My mother didnt sustain any major damage. My father arrived shortly afterwards and from what I hear was pretty bewildered.

There were severa other minor incidents but i will wrap it up with this.

My family was sitting in the living room watching tv...it was about 7 pm. We then heard a loud bang...as if someone banged on all of the doors at once. We all jumped up and didnt quite know what to do. Then we heard a really loud banging from the basement. My mother told my father to call the police. He called the police and we waited for what seemed forever while we sat and listened to the constant pounding that seemed to grow louder and louder.

The police finally arrived and the noise continued. The cop heard the noise and called for backup before he made his way to the basement. 2 other officers arrived shortly...they made their way down the stairs and my father followed. I went to the foot of the stairs to listen. The banging kept right on going. I heard the first officer tell 1 of the others to go to the back of the house. He came up the stairs, advised me to stay back, and went outside. Well....I was a young curious boy...so I went down the stairs. When i got to my father he was staring at the basement door not saying a word. The policeman and his partner had their guns drawn were yelling at whatever was banging on the door to stop. I looked at the door and saw small chunks of the wood were being thrown off of it....whatever was hitting it was hitting it hard. About then the other officers voice came over the radio that one officer was carrying. "Sir, Im directly outside the door...do not fire"

The other officer grabed the radio and asked him what was going on. The officer replied, "Sir, Im looking directly at the door....uh Steve, this is crazy...there is noone here." And at that moment it stopped.

THey filled out a report and gave it to my mother...... Officially it read "Could not determine nature of disturbance" I am currently trying to obtain a copy of it for a book I plan to write.

Well thats it. I hope to hear more from people with actual experiences.

Til then, later....
