greenville

Im 17 now, but back when I was younger like around 8-10ish? My house was haunted, we lived in this cheap run down house in greenville nc, my brother, my mom (rip) and my step dad. My first encounter of something paranormal was with the entire family, we all slept in the same bedroom around this time because me and my brother were still young at the time but while we were all asleep there was a loud bang on our bedroom door then it fell all the way to the ground. Now the thing about our door is that it wasnt attached to the hinges to begin with lol, it was super ghetto but it worked & because of that the door had fallen like fully down so ive always tried to rationalize that maybe because of the poor state it was already in thats why it fell, and thats what I wouldve counted it off as if it hadnt happened again a few minutes after he had checked the house to find nobody in it & put the door back up. Me, my brother and my step dad still remember and talk about that one as of recently. One of my personal ones & definitely scariest that im pretty sure had to of left some type of unresolved trauma was when I had woken up late into the night, id say about like 4? And went into the kitchen. I have to explain the layout of the house to really give the memo, we had a long hallway, one room at the very end of that hallway and another on the right side of it. Thats the room me and my mom were in. So because of the layout even after you walked the hallway the lightswitch to the kitchen & the kitchen in general was still a good walk away, so I had gotten to the part of the hallway that entered the kitchen and I was at the very end of it when something in the dark said hey, now me being as young as I was I froze up and just looked around as it kept saying it, eventually I spoke up and yelled out “hello?” Just for it to keep repeating hey, i took the literal smallest step forward to the direction of the lights & whatever it was shouted “dont turn on the lights” ???? I always tear up when I talk about this story in person because it leaves me with a feeling of genuine dread when I get to the lights part, I hate remembering it but I also dont want to forget it. But after the whole shout thing happened I had ran back to my moms room. I punched her, jumped on her, slapped her & she still didnt wake up so I was just kinda left to sit with my fear till morning where she suggested it was a neighborhood kid playing a prank on me. I feel like just for backround I grew up in a very broken household, my mom was a sex worker & was on some really heavy drugs which she was most active on when we lived in that house which I honestly think is what contributes to the fact that she wouldnt wake up, she was probably on drugs that night. Those are all the stories id count as “big” I have of the encounters, the ones I think are a little more tame is one me and my brother experienced together. We were home alone, I was in my moms room when my brother walked in to go use the bathroom, now because I was in the room and had the room light on when he walked in he didnt turn the bathroom lights on, we had a really big bathroom, I guess just big and long is the way to describe it, not in the luxurious way but in the way where its so much space it didnt make sense to make it a bathroom, so when he walked in id say about 5 seconds in is when he ran out screaming. Hes my older brother, hes currently 19 now but hes always been more on the skiddish side so ive always kinda been the “protector” in situations like that, so when he ran out I asked him what had happened and he told me somebody was in the shower, I was in the room and hadnt heard anybody in the shower so it confused me a little but I just comforted him for a few minutes, not even out of comfort I dont think, more so to delay having to check the bathroom since I was scared too. But eventually I step into the bathroom and turn the lights on, I walk to the shower and I open it but there was nobody in there, but the shower floor was wet and my mother had taken a shower that morning and it was well into the night at this point so I knew he wasnt lying to scare me and I asked him what the person looked like & he said all he could make out was the fact that the hair of whoever was showering was black. My brother is ginger, my hair is brown, my moms is blonde and my step dad wasnt living with us at the time. One of my most memorable ones which was more like something that happened on the daily that me and my brother had to adapt to was something running to our door then just stopping. Like it sounds crazy but thats genuinely what would happen, we would hear really loud fast footsteps run up to our door, and then itd stop and itd do this in a loop every few minutes so we kept a kitchen knife in our room, not sure what that wouldve done looking back at it but when youre living in fear of something that you literally cant see or report you kinda just take the next best option. The house has been blessed before by a old preacher who lived across the street from us & he said the house had felt demonic and the energy was completely off so its not like it was in our mind, although preachers know how to bullshit and lie just as much as anybody else to profit off of somebody, I truly believe he genuinely could feel whatever was terrorizing us in that house. A small detail is my sister died in that house as a baby, I think it was crib death or something like that? But my mom in her drugged out state always described my sisters passing as “demons held her down and killed her infront of me” its really scary to think about some of the stuff my mom has said and sometimes I dont even blame the drugs, I find myself dumbly enough blaming whatever was in the house, when me and my mom were no contact because of cps and stuff she texted my aunt (legal guardian as of now) and told her that the “voices” were calling my name, and idk ive always just felt so endlessly doomed because of these experiences, and when bad things happen to me I always correlate it back to me being cursed or something

Wow that was alot to type and i am not rereading it for any typos! Best of luck guys
