My mother bought a house when I was 11 years old and had my oldest half brother and his family live there, renting from her to pay off her mortgage until she could afford to leave our dad and take us with her a year later.
Anyway, my older half-brother is a Satanist and he and his friends constantly held seances and Satanic rituals in the house.
When we moved in, many strange things happened there, like once my sister woke up with something shaking her bed and she looked down at the foot of it to see "a purple glowing glob, with a face melted into it". She says that she prayed and when she did, "hands drew up out of the glob to cover its eyes as it fell off the bed and slid underneath it."
Certain doors in the house refused to stay shut, even with latches on them and they would open themselves as soon as you left the room.
My mom said once that she saw a swarm of bees fly through the house at night and go upstairs. Well, anyone who knows anything about bees, knows that bees don't fly at night! However, when we set off bug bombs to get rid of spiders not long after that, when we went upstairs to wipe things down, everything was covered in dead bees!
I never felt alone upstairs. Especially when in the stairwell, I could always feel someone standing at the top looking down at me. My sister and mother both said that they woke up a couple of times with a black image of a small woman pressing her hands down on their chests, making it hard for them to breathe. I never saw her but that was the impression I got of whoever it was I felt watching me whenever I was upstairs.
We had vents in the upstairs rooms that opened up to the first floor rooms and while watching TV one night, we heard my brother's drum set upstairs playing itself...we knew no one was up there and when we went to look, that was confirmed (the room was empty of anyone but those of us that went up) but the drum noises had stopped.
When my mother moved out, the house caught itself on fire directly underneath the kitchen table. The kitchen table is where my older half brother held his most important seances, he said, opening gateways to the underworld throughout the house.
From under the kitchen (in a dug out, unfinished half-basement)it was determined by fire officials that there was nothing to cause the fire there, nor did it start there...the floor under the table had just apparently spontaneously combusted.
A few people have lived there since but they all moved out eventually, saying that the place was just too scary to live in. Except for the latest resident.
He is a Viet-Nam Veteran and apparently is not afraid of much, the devil himself included. LOL
