When I was younger, I had many paranormal experiences. Most of them do not remember much, but a paranormal experience that really stands out in my mind. Now I know there are many skeptics who do not believe in the paranormal or that there are people sensitive to it. I've always been a believer and have always been sensitive to the paranormal. Some of the people who raised me did not think about or thought it was a sin to believe in such things. So I never spoke of these experiences to anyone.I was about 9 years old and lived with my mother and her husband, my stepfather, in a house very sad story of two. The house had been bought by my stepfather for many years before my mother married him. The house was in a corner next to a church. It was 90 to 100 years old and had belonged to moonshiners. Perhaps most disturbing was the house that my stepfather's first wife had committed suicide in the bathroom. There were 3 bedrooms, a library and a small room where the stairs are approached. My room was on the top floor of the front of the house to the east. The room with the ladder was in the back of the house. And the library separate from the other two rooms, which were in the north and south sides of the house. The top floor was always terrifying for me, especially being up there by myself at night night.One, I remember waking up suddenly, as if something or someone has touched. At first, I did not see anything or anyone in my room, but felt as if something had been there. When I sat on my bed, I had overwhelming fear that something was watching me. Was too scared to get out of bed and investigate, so you just take the covers closer to me and looked around the room. When my eyes went to the door, I've been basically paralyzed me. It seemed as if all the air out of the room and my ability to breathe it was for a short time. When I looked out the door, through the library on the landing, I saw two figures standing on the stairs went down to the bottom floor. I rubbed my eyes several times just to make sure I was not seeing things. In my heart, I knew they were spirits or apparitions, but expected to go when I closed my eyes and opened them again. Finally opened my eyes again and were still there watching me. It was almost as if waiting for me. He was a man and a woman who seemed to be dressed for some kind of party. The man wore a tuxedo with tails and had a top hat in his hand. And the woman wearing an evening dress that was red with sequins everywhere. The ghostly couple are not robust than the living. In fact, almost transparent. It was as if they were only shadows hovering there instead of being on land. I sat in bed, paralyzed and terrified, staring at them for what seemed like hours. He did not move at all, just floating there, near the stairs, looking at me. At one point, started down the stairs and thought, "Oh, well, go away." As he turned down the stairs, she stopped, looked at me and waved his hand to I go. At that time, I was terrified and could not move or scream. For a second I thought, "What would happen if I went with them?" Even as a kid, I always thought that if a ghost or spirit who asked to go with them, surely die. So, with that in mind, they quickly pulled the covers over my head and stayed sleep.I really do not know why they were there or why it appeared to me that night. They were not connected with the history that I knew about the house, but obviously not for a reason. It's something I've wondered for nearly 30 years, but probably never know. After that night, I never saw the couple again.
