Alexandria

I've recently had a string of odd occurances. Who am I trying to kid, it is ongoing. Since I was a little girl I have had weird things happen around me. The past few months though it seems as if everything is coming back. I keep remembering things that I feel like I had forgotten. I was staying at a neighbors house years ago while my parents were out of town. I woke up and there was a little boy standing there. He asked me to play ball with him. I layed down and went back to sleep. The next day, I was getting a bag from inside the basement door. Just thinking about it now, I can see them. A man and a woman trying to climb up the stairs to escape the fire. I told the lady I was staying with about the boy, and of the couple in the basement. She smiled at me and told me that a family had died in the house from a fire.

My mother use to have a dream about a man rocking a baby in the bedroom that I am in. She had this dream more than once, and I was experiencing some things in the room. The light, fan and radio would often come on throughout the night and then be turned off. She went to a local library and did some research, and got in contact with the man that use to live here. The man in her dream was his father, and the baby was his brother. He passed when he was a few days old. He was a blue baby.
I lost a child this past August, and since then... many things have happened. Footsteps in the bedroom when I was not here, that my brother heard. Once when I was here. He asked who was upstairs in the room. I replied, nobody. We both went upstairs, and when he opened the door I felt massive energy rush into me. My ears began screaching... not the same as the occasional ringing. This ringing is something that I've experienced quite a bit. Also, about 2 weeks ago I was going to bed and began hearing things moving around in the room. I closed my eyes, and then I heard a mans voice. He said "He did It." I could go on and on about the things that have happened over the last few months. The orbs, the dreams, the noises, shadows, and yes, the visions. I'm not bothered by these things, I just want to understand them.
