CHAPTER 2

today obviously um and i wanted to wait until i wasn't living there anymore to film it because i felt like if i was to this STORY whilst i was in the house i would just scare myself and be worried that something really bad was gonna happen to me i have been out of that house now since june last year so i am now in my current apartment and i love it here the energy's good the vibes is good i've had no problems no paranormal [ __ ] nothing bad has happened to me since i've been in this apartment so yes i feel really good i feel fine opening up about this whole situation also before i get into the whole thing i just want you to say if you are someone that does not believe in spirits please go into this STORY with an open mind because i never ever ever used to believe in it so firstly i just want to explain a little bit about the house you guys can kind of get a visual idea of what the house looked like and all of that stuff because i feel like it's relevant to the whole thing i can't show you pictures because there are people living in that house now and i don't want to violate anyone's privacy or anything like that just in case anyone could find out where the house was i'm not going to do that this house was a very old semi-detached house when i was first moving in it was um the kitchen was like something from the 70s like it was old um the living room had like the flowery bumpy wallpaper from back in the day like it was just an old house um but i liked it it had character it was cute had beam ceilings brick fireplace i think it was a nice house it was a nice house um so me my mom spent the summer doing the house up we fitted a new kitchen flooring the everything we did the carpet literally did the whole place up like it looked so good when we were finished it was it was a really good project like i said the house is really old and the semi detached the house that it was attached to belonged to an old man rest in peace um he died several years before i actually moved in but all of his belongings was still left in the house all of his stuff was still there his car was still in the car park around the back of the house i don't know what happens when i feel like if he was to pass away and then you don't have any family that's when kind of all your stuff is just left i don't feel like they really do anything about it it's really strange so this house is just abandoned the one that's attached to mine all of his things like i said all of his belongings were still in there his car was still in the car park had weeds all grown around it like it was completely abandoned um i know that there were some people living near me that tried to message the council and ask if the car could be moved and stuff but it's all just goes through a whole legal process apparently it's quite a long thing so that was the house that i was attached to i don't think that had anything to do with the situation or the things that happened to me but i will tell you some things that happened in that house that was attached to me things i would hear um i will explain in this STORY as well the first four months of me living there i didn't experience anything abnormal the only thing i would say about that house is it was so hard to get any natural daylight in because the house that i was attached to was kind of blocking the sun from that side and then there was like a gap the other side of the house and there was two other semi-detached houses that were blocking the sunlight from that side so and the windows was really small so my living room used to feel like okay like i always used to say to my friends i feel like i'm living in a cave there's like hardly any natural daylight in here it's always dark like it just used to feel a bit strange but that's like the only thing that's nothing to do with this but that's how it used to feel anyway so yeah first four months nothing happened i would say four and a half months into living there i experienced something a little bit strange one night but i didn't really deep it i kind of brushed it off because like i said i never used to believe in this [ __ ] so i kind of just rushed it off and just like oh whatever so one night i was in my kitchen this was like 9 10 p.m just making some food i always used to eat really late um cooking some food in my kitchen late at night and i felt like there was something there like it's almost like as human beings we get this instinct or this gut feeling or this weird feeling that i cannot describe but it's like you sense something but you obviously can't see it like you sense it but you can't see it it's really strange um so i could just sense that there was something there but i kind of played it over my head because i thought i'm just overthinking i live on my own i'm in my kitchen late at night like it's i'm just overthinking it it's it's nothing so i just paid that off that was whatever anyway the first major thing that happened to me this was this night i genuinely thought there was somebody in my house this was the first major thing that happened to me this was about five months into living in the house so my living room space was really small the house was really small so the staircase would come down into the living room and the only place i could put my sofa would be underneath the staircase so i had my sofa until the staircase and then had like my tv and everything the other side where the fireplace was so anyway i'm sat on my sofa underneath the staircase this is late at night it's like 11 o'clock i'm watching some random [ __ ] on netflix or whatever i was doing she's watching tv and i heard someone run up my staircase like boom boom boom run up my staircase bearing in mind i'm sat under the staircase and so far so it sounds like you can imagine like it sounded loud first initial thought was i was like someone is in my house someone's in my [ __ ] house like what am i gonna do i live on my own i'm scared i'm like what the [ __ ] anyway so i just freeze i'm sat there i'm like [ __ ] turn the tv off because i thought let me just see if i can hear anything else like turn the tv on so it's dead silent i couldn't hear anything after that it was really weird it was just really really really quiet me being stupid like i'm sorry if there's something in your house don't do this i started going hello like hello like i just started shouting hello because i kept thinking [ __ ] there is someone in my house 100 someone in my house anyway because i'm sat on the sofa underneath the staircase i'm thinking i don't know if i can come out from underneath here and look because in my head i'm thinking i've watched tv serial killer movies i'm thinking there's someone sat on my staircase there waiting for me to come out and they're gonna do something like i'm shook i don't know what to do i'm froze i'm sat there i'm like in my head thinking all these scenarios gonna happen i'm like someone's in my [ __ ] house i'm gonna die like what's going on anyway i just sat there in silence what felt like 20 minutes it was probably like 5-10 minutes but you know when you're scared it just feels 10 times longer so anyway i'm sat there and i'm just like i've got to look around my house i live on my own what am i going to do like i've got to find out if there's someone in my house you know what i mean so i rang my best friend i didn't tell her anything that i'd heard i didn't tell anything i just wanted someone to make me feel at ease like just have a normal girly conversation it would kind of relax me distract me so i was like let me just spring her speak to her about normal life don't tell her what's happened and then just go around my house so i'm on the phone to wear and then i start feeling a bit more relaxed as we just laugh when you're joking and then i start looking around my house my house is tiny you can't hide anywhere the house is so small so anyway i started walking around the house can't see anything literally can't see anything i'm looking in the cupboards i'm looking in the swearing i'm looking everywhere right everywhere in this house and there's nothing there's no one there's nothing um i even look around my kitchen and listen you had to go that way to get to my kitchen and the staircase was this way so there's no way there was gonna be someone in my kitchen but i just looked everywhere no one in my house then i started thinking to myself okay have i just actually imagined this or did this actually happen i started tripping thinking am i going crazy or did someone just run up my staircase like i was like what the hell so that was like the first major thing that happened that made me shook little things in the meantime would happen where i would place something somewhere in my house knowing full well that i've put it there and then it would just vanish like it would just go and then it would just reappear like things would go missing all the time i would lose things like every day in the house and then they'd just reappear and i'd be like what i checked there what the hell just like little random things like that anyway one night i'm laying in bed this was about two weeks after this happened the staircase thing it was about two three weeks after that i'm laying in bed i don't have a tv in my bedroom at this point i never used to like having a tv in my room because i just used to like to go to bed and read or like not be distracted so i never had a tv in my room so i used to go to bed and just be completely silent anyway i'm in bed it's late like there's no windows in my house open none absolutely none why is it that i feel this breeze like a breeze like almost come past me like i'm sat up in bed like this just chilling and reading i think i was reading on my phone one or the other and i just feel this breeze and i was just like so many times things like this would happen i'd actually think i was going crazy like i actually think like am i actually losing the plot or is this happening to me i'm so confused that was another thing that made me quite shook because i was like it doesn't make sense the windows are sharp what is going on why is there a breeze i don't get it i'm so confused anyway the next major thing that happened was my best friend used to stay at mine all the time like she used to basically live on mine she stayed mine all the time every time she should come around she'd always end up falling asleep on my sofa that would be on the side for watching a film she'd end up falling asleep so she'd fall asleep i'd just go upstairs have a shower get in bed whatever anyway i went upstairs had a shower got in bed lauren used to always come up to bed at like 2 30 in the morning she'd just wake up on the sofa and then crawl herself upstairs to bed so i'm just in bed i used to always stay awake till stupid o'clock in the morning by the way like i used to stay up till late all the time so anyway lauren comes crawling up to bed at like 2 a.m one night and she was like holly have you been walking around upstairs i was like what do you mean i can just hear someone like going up the stairs walking around like on the landing like what are you doing i said what do you mean i said i haven't moved i've been literally laying here still on my phone or whatever i was doing i was just in the bed i didn't get out of the bed at all and she's like about this is 2 a.m i had a shower at like 10 i'm going better like 10 11. this is at 2am i had not moved from my bed since like 11 o'clock she was like yeah i just heard like a minute ago i let people walking like you walking around so it woke me up and i was like what the [ __ ] that was another thing i was like what the [ __ ] because i had not got our bed and i'd heard someone run upstairs before so i started tripping thinking [ __ ] she's heard something like what i heard that time anyway there was another time when lauren stayed at mine and all of a sudden in the middle of the night she got up out of bed i used to have blackout curtains in my in my bedroom i had blackout and she literally got up out of bed ran over to the window opened the things and was like i need to get out i need to get out i need to get out i was like whoa what is going on what's going on what the [ __ ] and she was like holly i just felt like i needed to get out i didn't know how to get out i needed to get out and i was like what are you talking about anyway she has never in her life slept walk or done anything like that in her life she's like holy that's never happened to me i've never done anything like that in my life so i started thinking what the hell like why is that just happening i'm so confused so that happened as well then the next thing that happened loads of things happened with lauren was at my lauren experience things as well so there was another time when this one was [ __ ] scary like this one actually had us shook like we actually had to sleep under the covers like we were shook this was like i don't even know i don't even know when this was but this was later on anyway maybe like a month later i can't even remember remember lauren was staying at mine and we was like [ __ ] it let's bring the tv from downstairs bring it upstairs let's watch tv in bed have a movie night in bed whatever get snacks we was doing that we was laughing at this film we was watching like just having a good time this was late just proper laughing together all of a sudden so where my bedroom was the door's here and then just outside the door here's the landing very very very small landing but the um the little latch thing for the attic was on the landing and it had like a step like a ladder thing that you could pull down you can go in the attic right so the attic door all of a sudden this is at whatever time late anyway later now watching tv in bed watching a film the door from the attic just swings down all the way around and goes bang and hits the ceiling like the loudest bang i've ever heard in my life like it's scared to live living daylights out of me and her we were both so shook like what is going on the attic door's just gone like round swung hit the ceiling and then it's just hanging like this i can see it i can like literally peek out like this and look on the line and i can see it hanging down i was like oh my [ __ ] god it was late i was like you know what i'm just going under the covers i'm going to sleep i'm dealing with this tomorrow because if you live in a house where you have like a little dawn you can see in your attic that shit's scary as [ __ ] at night like it's so dark up there and spooky and just ish and cold like it's just nasty like it's just scary so i was like i'm just gonna deal with this in the morning when it's daylight i can't deal with this right now i'm so scared so we ended up just going to sleep whatever that was just so [ __ ] weird oh there was another incident where lauren was having a shower at mine and she came out the shower and she said to me honey i feel like someone was watching me in the shower i said what do you mean she's like i feel like someone was actually watching me take a shower weird as hell it's so weird lauren always used to like misplace things in my on my house like she'd lose things and then they just reappear like so so so so weird anyway this next thing was the worst thing that's happened to me from living there this was the worst experience that i've ever had i've never experienced this ever in my life so my friend jess and lauren was at mine i think he was going out the next day or whatever so they was upstairs in my room like looking for outfits to where i think lauren was like trying on clothes or something because lauren used to always use my clothes i think there was upstairs trying stuff on and i was downstairs i'd fallen asleep because we were watching like a little netflix series or whatever we was watching and i'd fallen asleep on so far i used to fall asleep on the sofa in the daytime have naps all the time always useful to sleep with my sofa that's nothing new used to do that all the time anyway those two have gone upstairs whatever they're doing i'm laying on the sofa having a nap and i experience sleep paralysis if you know what sleep paralysis is it's the scariest thing ever like i have never in my whole 26 years on this planet ever experienced that until that time that was the one time i ever experienced it and it was so scary so i'm laying on my sofa my brain is awake my whole body is paralyzed and i feel like someone is on top of me trying to suffocate me that it was like someone's pushing on me here my whole body i can't move i can't shout like in my head i'm trying to like scream help like i'm shouting help in my head but nothing's coming out my mouth like my whole body is paralyzed but my mind is completely awake i can hear the girls upstairs having a conversation like my mind is awake i can hear them but i just can't meet my body i'm stuck so anyway i started panicking because i've never experienced that ever like started panicking it was getting worse it felt like it had gone on for literally if you've ever had that it feels like it goes on for like 20 minutes but i think it only goes on for like a few minutes but he feels like it goes on forever it's the worst thing ever so anyway i'm laying there and i'm just thinking to myself right in my head i'm thinking just just breathe like try and relax and then hopefully it will end and hopefully i'll be all right but if you've ever experienced it it feels like you're gonna die like i'm not even joking it is so scary anyway i just was like let me just relax like when i'm like trying to fight it it's like it was getting worse so anyway i started to relax and obviously then i started to come out of it the girls came down i was like girls like come down here they were like what i was like i have just had this thing happen to me at the time i didn't know it was called sleep paralysis i had to google it i was like the weirdest thing that just happened to me is that my mind was awake my body was like paralyzed like it was like something was like on me like something was on top of me it was the weirdest thing ever them too was just like what like what do you mean like they'll say i didn't know what i meant they were like what are you going on about us like no that was the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me like the scariest thing so yeah i experienced um sleep paralysis in that house never experienced that in my life um so another thing the house that was attached to me that i said to you guys belong to that old man that unfortunately passed away um weird things that i would hear things because the walls was very thin if you live in a semi-detached house i guarantee you you can probably hear if someone was to shout in the other house you'd be able to hear it or if someone put music on you can hear it like it's not like you can't hear like you can hear things that go on in the house that you're attached to the walls aren't that thick so anyway i would hear like things in that house all the time that i would hear things in the house attached to me and i would think what that's real
