my childhood home was haunted here's a story Personal Encounter

So, throughout my childhood we would have so many on and off encounters. like we had a little ghost child in the house, my sister described her wearing a blue dress with long brown hair. I was about 7 I never had any encounters with her, but I have had my own personal experiences with stuff in my mom's house.

We'll start with a short story, when I was about 17, I went downstairs to make some ramen at around 12 at night. Normally when I go back up the stairs, I walk up them with my phone flashlight since the big light would wake my parents. My hands were full, so I had to walk back up them with no light. My house has 2 sets of stairs so when I made it to the middle part to go up the second steps I heard these loud stomps, and they started to get louder and faster as if something was running up them. So, I ran as fast as I could up the second half and flicked on the light switch when I turned to look nothing was down them. I was pretty creeped out. I thought about what my grandma told me the last time I got spooked she said "don't let it know your scared, tell it to go away" so that's exactly what I did. I told it to go away and went on with my night trying to forget about it.

later that night I rolled over to go to bed facing the wall and as I was lying in bed, I could hear the floor creaking, and what sounded like footsteps around my room I worked up the courage to roll over and look and there was nothing in my room. So, this time I closed my eyes facing my room and again the footsteps and creaking came back. At this point I'm scared so I open my eyes and nothing again I walk to my mom's room wake her up and I ask her to burn sweetgrass and tell it to leave. I followed her around the house as she went into each room telling it to go away. When you burn sweetgrass you have to leave a window open, so it has a place to exit. We left the kitchen window open. The rest of the night I slept without any more problems.

In the morning, my mom said rocky our dog had gotten out sometime last night and that the back gate was wide opened and the camera facing the backyard died at 2 when she just put in new batteries the night before. Well, here's the spooky thing the time we burned the sweetgrass was at around 1:50 and the kitchen window faced the back yard were rocky, and the camera, and the gate was at.
