Auditory Encounters
I definitely believe these are the most common types of "hauntings", as I've never seen a ghost, but have encountered this phenomenon. I'll briefly explain one specific encounter. I had been living in an older home with my brother, while we were remodeling it, preparing it to be a rental. As most people know, older homes have a propensity to creak and groan from time to time, it's just less noticable when there are several people around and more activity. Well my brother took a couple of weeks off and flew out of state, and I decided to stay alone in the house to make sure it wasn't broken into or anything. The first night staying there...not alot happened...just typical creaks mostly covered up by the TV. The second night I started hearing what I could only describe as footsteps...they were muffled which was odd because there was only carpet in the room I was in and this was coming from another part of the house..all hardwood floors. The third night I was actually getting totally freaked out because the steps where no longer muffled...very clear on the stairs heavy steps. I kept muting the TV when I'd hear them and then they'd stop. Well I managed to make it through the night solo...but returned to my parents home across town every night to sleep until my brother returned. The last night was the hardest I think because I couldn't get to sleep being so disturbed.
Anyone else have any experiences to share regarding this topic? Let's explore!
