The Spirits Don't Seem To Know

We moved into our current house in Wisconsin almost 8 years ago, and our whole family has experienced certain phenomena throughout that time.

My mom has seen a boy approximately age 9 or 10 who walked through our kitchen, down our hall, and through her bedroom door. She thought it was my brother, but he was in his room sleeping, and he wouldn't be able to go through the door. She said he was wearing a yellow striped shirt, and jeans. During that same time, when the little boy was walking through the hallway, my sister was just getting out of the shower and felt something brush past her really fast and made her drop her towel. She later told my mom what she that she felt someone in the bathroom with her, and when she got out something pushed past her.

I have been in the kitchen and have seen flashes of yellow, like it's a person in a yellow t- shirt, through the cracks in the refrigerator when it opens or out of the corner of my eye I'll see it.

Upstairs, I have heard whispering, and people saying my name when everyone is asleep, I have even held conversations with things, thinking it was my sister, only to realize she is outside and I am inside on the top floor. It is weird because the thing was actually responding to what I was saying, but I couldn't see it.

Our pets don't like to be upstairs much. Our dog, one night. was looking very intently upon the stairs going up, and wouldn't stop staring at them. No one in our house likes to sleep up there, even though 3 people, including myself, have rooms up there, so nobody would have been up there that night. Anyway, she was slowly going closer, and then in a split second she bolted down the stairs and hid behind the armchair.

My cat will sometimes sleep upstairs with me, when I have to sleep up there. Well, one night I had been hearing noises coming from the corner, and she must have noticed it too, because she looked scared. She is quite the stuck up cat who doesn't care about you or your problems!

A year ago, I obtained my dead grandmother's bed and more strange things had occurred in my room. It was late afternoon and I was watching TV. I looked over to my bed and saw at the foot of the bed, smoke rising that looked like it was coming from the bed. It was gone almost as soon as I saw it. My grandma smoked a lot during the years before she died. I have even been woken up to my bed shaking and pounding below me.

My sister has also had experiences in my room. Once she went upstairs to give me something, but I was down in the bathroom. She was upstairs in my room talking to someone who was crouched by my TV, and then it got up and crawled into my passage way 5 feet from the TV. She still didn't know it wasn't me until she heard me downstairs.

My brother was up in my room recording audio and said "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to leave this room". When he played it back downstairs at that same part on the recording when he said that, all he heard was silence in the place of where he said that phrase. It then went back to regular sound.

One more thing that happened to me was when was sleep in the living room on the couch. I woke up and couldn't move. When I realized I couldn't move I was very wide awake and scared. I was able to move my eyes and looked to my right and saw a beautiful woman looking at me, and then she walked through me, through the wall and into my parents room. I tried shaking myself into being able to move and finally managed to move myself.

I'm not sure what to make of what has been happening to me, but some of it scares me, and some of it is a comfort to me.

I wonder if the ghosts even know they are dead, or if they are just content with where they are or something? Either way it is a little daunting to know that there is something in your house that you can't control.
