alright my family’s haunted (a thread)
<< okay y’all bare with me please, i don’t know how long threads can be and I’ve tried my hardest to keep all the information in order. it’s a lot because it’s not just my stories>>
okay so some background first the land i live on has been in my family a while. my nana and papa built their house here when their oldest daughter (aunt c) was a baby. the house i live in was built by my great grandpa for someone that worked for him.
i’ll tell you all i can remember because my mom and nana don’t like talking about it too much and they’re the closest people to me that I can get any information from.
i’ll start with the earliest story i know, which is from when my mom was little. when her and her sisters were young my grandma bought a ouija board for them because she didn’t know what it was. they asked what the gender of their cousin was gonna be (which no one knew +
at the time). the board said “girl” and months later their aunt gave birth to a healthy baby girl. weird things continued to happen after they’d grown up and had kids. but a big thing that happened after my mom had my siblings is that a sock drawer she used to keep letters in +
was pulled out of the dresser all the way and dumped on the other side of the room at a time when the whole family was together in the living room.
“small” things would happen like one time they heard a noice in the kitchen and went in there to see a big knife laying in the middle of the floor. and another they heard something in the cabinet +
went to look and the lid off a cookie jar was laying beside of it when it had clearly been on top of it.
also, we live on a dirt road. this is important to know because of what i’m about to say next. so when my siblings were little my grandma and grandpa would be asleep and in the middle of the night they’d wake up to what sounded like horses running down the road and the dogs +
bark as if there were someone going down the road. my grandpa would go outside and look in the road as soon as the noise stopped and there would be no tracks whatsoever. this happened multiple times. and im glad i wasn’t alive because fuck no baby—
when my aunt c’s daughter brandi was a teen they’d gone to my grandma’s house late in the day (like right when it starts to get dark) with one of her friends. they’d been sitting in the car finishing a song when they saw my grandma walk by so they thought they were awake +
when they got out the car they beat on the door to be let in but could never get anyone to come to the door. they asked my grandma the next day why she’d never come to the door and she told them her and my grandpa had been asleep in their room on the other end of the house.
my mom and siblings used to live with my grandma and grandpa before I was born. one day my brother got in my grandma’s bed after my mom had left. my grandma proceeded to get ready in her bathroom and when she came out she saw my brother was still in bed. She went over +
to shake him awake so he would get up and wouldn’t miss the bus but when she put her hands on the sheets they fell flat. to this day she swears that the covers had looked just like a child laying there with the covers over their head. she barely talks abt it
when my sister M was very little she was playing in the playroom while my family ate in the kitchen (they’re right beside each other). suddenly my sister came running out of there crying and talking about something scary in the room. she refused to go back in there that night
tw// death

now we get into after my grandpa died. my sister M was 16 at the time and still living with them. ut was a regular thing for her to get up in the middle of the night and make cheese grits for her and my grandpa. +

one night after he’d died she’d gotten up to make grits and said when she turned around she saw a white figure standing behind where his recliner sat. this one always made me smile because i know he wasn’t trying to scare her he was there to maybe say goodbye? i loved him so much
now we get into my experiences. when my grandpa passed away I was 5. ive never had anything weird happen revolving around his death except the fact i told my parents it was gonna rain the day of his funeral and it did. i was 5 i didn’t know the weather.
i stayed with my grandma during the summer while my parents worked. one day she was getting for something. i was sitting in the living room watching TV on the opposite end of the house. i heard someone calling my name down the hallway +
(and the hallway is kinda long so someone calling you from the other end is kinda distinctive). so i got up and went to her room and asked her why she was calling me. she told me she’d never even said my name. this happened to me on vacation once too +
i was in the bed with mom, the tv was on at a pretty loud volume, and she was asleep. my mom snores, she doesnt talk in her sleep. but as i laid there i heard someone calling my name in almost a whisper. i remember that shit to this day

i also used to hear footsteps in the hallway all the time that i knew wasn’t my mom or dad because the footsteps were really lite and my parents are both heavyset. there was also one time i woke up from a dead sleep at 2 or 3 am (it takes a lot to get me up) to what sounded like+
boots walking down the hallway to my room and stopping in front of the door. i rolled back over and played on my phone the rest of the night, like some “if i can’t see it it’s not there” bullshit was gonna save me
OH MY GOD AND THE CAT. i used to have a cat who was really sweet and i loved that cat to death. so sometime after he died i was laying in bed minding my own business when i feel what feels like a cat jump up and walk across my legs. mighta imagined it but i didnt sleep that night
ah and i can’t forget the very first sleep over i had with my best friend (yeah the ghosts act up around strangers too). so wed just got home from shopping and we were just talking and sitting on my bed when all of a sudden my dressed with all my clothes and things on top +
starts VIOLENTLY shaking. at first i though there had been a sonic boom and it was the house but it was only that one dresser. we managed to sleep that night cause her house is haunted as fuck too and i was used to weird shit but we still talk about it to this day.
tw// death!!

there’s also a dried up pond about 100 feet down the road from my house that a little girl dr*wned in. it was before any of my siblings were born so idk the whole story. but i was walking down the road the other day and when i got to that place i felt+

icky like something was wrong and my dog that had been walking with me the whole time bolted toward that place (which i know he wasn’t going to get water because it’s dry now) and so i turned around and walked the other direction https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥴" title="Woozy face" aria-label="Emoji: Woozy face"> this happened yesterday
