This ghost story was shared with me by Katherine O.

I moved into my house about four years ago. Since that time, strange things have been happening. The past few houses my family has moved into have been more or less "haunted". My mom has a magnet for those things.

In this house now, when my youngest sister was still a baby, she could be heard talking baby talk to someone who wasn't there. When she heard my parents getting out of bed, she would say, "Bye- bye" and act like she was not doing anything out of the ordinary. My other sister (the middle child) could also be seen waving at someone on the stairs when no one was there.

At Easter time, when my family was over, my aunt (who has a gift for seeing ghosts) saw a little black haired girl on the stairs in a polka dotted rain coat. She waved at her and I saw her waving but couldn't see what she was waving at. Turns out, she thought she was waving at someone's kid, but nobody had a kid like that. She refuses to stay at our house now.

Our baby sitter has also seen a little girl on the stairs but in a polka dotted Sunday dress. After watching the movie Shutter (in which ghosts appear on pictures of a camera) my best friend, my mom and I go on a ghost hunting trip. We take pictures of everything. In one picture of my mom, There is a strange light over her that makes the picture look over exposed. We took another one the same way with her in the same position and it was fine. It was so strange. I also took a picture of our guest room window from the outside, and there was a strange object in the window that when zoomed in looked like a girl's head. It then moved away like it was running.

Another time, I was in the basement (our play room) with my friend and my other best friend with the lights off. We sat in a circle and tried to contact the ghost. I felt a hand on my shoulder and my friend said someone was blowing on the back of her neck. My other best friend said someone was whispering incoherently in her ear.

My mom's friend from work is sort of a physic and she said that the ghost was looking for her mother. She said that the ghost may become jealous of me and my sisters for having a mom. That's why my mom always feels a presence around her. Like the time she thought my youngest sister was behind her while she was cooking and my youngest sister was actually watching a movie in the den and there was no one there.

I can also feel a strange presence in the guest room and the stairs. My mom has said a prayer on the stairs but it hasn't helped. We hope to find out what is keeping the girl here so we can release her.
