Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm the only one that has a bedroom on the top floor of my house and beside my room there's a metal, spiral, staircase that was built to be a fire escape and it leads down to a little office.
One of the nights I was asleep I kept hearing these finger nail clicking noises on the metal steps and it got annoying. Finally I just said "stop it!" as loud as I could but without waking anyone else up. It stopped for a couple seconds but then started happening faster and a lot louder. I ended up watching t.v. for the next couple hours until it stopped and I could finally go to bed again.
The last one was when I was sitting at the computer in the den and in the den is a door behind my computer table that leads to the stairs to my bedroom. And the door is always closed and latched so that my cats can't pry the door open and get upstairs. While I was typing I heard this huge sound like someone was throwing themselves against the other side of the door and I thought my dad was home and the latch was messed up again (it gets hard to open in winter and hard to close in summer) so I ignored it. Then finally I heard the 6th or 7th crash against the door and it flung open, I saw a guy walking out of it from the corner of my eye and thought it was my dad just turning a corner and going into the living room when it went out of sight. Then my mom came over from the living room and said "You're downstairs?" And I said yeah, then she got this weird look on her face and said "I thought you were the one making all that noise on the door." I told her "No it was dad wasn't it?" She told me he had left about 2 hours ago for work. Then we both just looked at the door with these freaked out looks on our faces cause the door weas still swung open really wide.
My mom thinks the upstairs part of the house is haunted by her sister. Because I look so much like her (it freaks out our neighboors too) and cause she died as a teen and lived upstairs in an old room beside mine. That and after she died my mom would wake up and her sisters bed (it was next to hers in the same room) would have the blankets all messed up as if someone had slept in it. I mostly think its just a friend of mine who died about 2 weeks before the sounds and everything started up though.

Duke University in North carolina has an endowed program for the study of the paranormal.

if you check them out they may be able to give you some links and resources.

of course, well i don't call them ghosts, they all demons. they're everywhere, and spiritual warfare is going on all the time. did you know the government has the united states under mind control!

Nope. It's a stupid idea. Things happen, and we don't know how. We make up something to explain it. People die, the get buried, and rot. Their 'spirit' dies with them. Their brain rots. Probably first too.
