Ghostly Expriences

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

Ghostly Expriences

Overthe 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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
