Moved from the US to the UK and our parents bought an old, beat-up house. We started seeing bright lights in the corners of rooms at night, and footsteps on floorboards. I was about 6 at the time and started getting woken up in the night by a little girl, who would dance on my chest of drawers for me. I was frickin' terrified. After about a year of this, my sister's friend stayed over night. She woke the whole house up screaming, saying a little girl had been in her room, and she had apparently pulled her from the bed. The friend left the house and refused to ever come back. My mum decided she might need to do something about it, and got some advice. He suggested my mum and the whole family should treat the presences as part of the family. So when we got home, we'd shout, 'Hi, we're home, did you have a good day?' Over time the house settled and we didn't get any more trouble. We also found out a little girl did die in the house of asthma. My parents still live there and it is a beautiful homely place now.
