Fear Files

Not My Daughter

For my bachelorette party my friends took me on a private ghost hunt that she found. I was scared and excited at the same time. I have seen spirits my whole life (those are another story).

We went to an old church in PA that was being renovated. At first we started by walking through the graveyard. I kept seeing figures following us around as we were taking the "tour" but every time I would look directly at them, they would no longer be there.

We then entered the church, the main floor was uneventful while we investigated so we moved to the second floor. I got the uncontrollable feeling I needed to leave that area and go back downstairs. So, not wanting to scare the other two girls with me, I said I was feeling vertigo due to a slant in the building and I needed to go down. One of the girls followed me and once downstairs she asked, "You felt it too, didn't you?" I said yes then we waited with one of the investigators for the other two people still upstairs.

We then all headed to the basement, where we all had the most experiences. First, two people went into a hallway in the back and faced the door to the boiler. My sister was rushed by an entity where I heard her gasp then rush back into the main room.

Two of us were sitting on a bench next to an off A/C unit (it was fall, we did not need heat nor AC) and my sister was sitting on the floor. We were trying to contact a little girl spirit using a flashlight that was placed in the kitchen in the basement.

As I was talking, we hear knocks on a door to one of the side rooms. One of the investigators went in that room and asked two questions, getting no responses. I then continued to talk and we heard knocks on the next room closer to the kitchen. The same investigator entered that room and once again nothing. I started asking questions again and the flashlight started going off in response. The second investigator mentioned that he felt the girl loved "Itsy Bitsy Spider". So I started singing the song and in response, the light would go on for words being said and off when it was a pause in the song. After we were done singing, we heard a loud BANG on the bench on the other side of the AC unit (this caused my friend to land in my lap causing us to laugh) but we noticed that one of the cameras was knocked over. There could be an explanation for the camera, though I can't think of any considering we were in the basement, no drafts, the bench was not a real bench it was a ledge to hold the AC unit, which was off.

After a few more hours of only getting answer from the little girl, we decided to call it a night and headed to our hotel. Nothing strange happened there that I can remember, we were FAR to tired anyhow, but the next night when I was sleeping in my own bed, I heard my name being called. I am a very light sleeper so I opened my eyes and look towards the foot of my bed, there was a little girl sitting on my bed. She was looking at me and asked, "Can I be our daughter?" I promptly said, "No, I'm sorry but you move on, you are no longer alive." I didn't want to be mean but I have a slight fear that if I did have a child I didn't want it to be possessed by a spirit. I saw the little girl a few more times wandering the hall outside of my room and heading to the spare bathroom. After a month I never saw her again.
