Something has taken control of the TV!

I have always been fasintated by ghosts and hauntings.  I really believe that the house I grew up in was haunted.

    Nothing really happened until I was around 13-14 years old.  I first started noticing strange lights on the walls and ceilings in my bedroom.  It was actually like a mirror reflection on the wall.  At first I thought that it was a reflection, but everynight they would be in a different spot. I shared a room with my bother until I was fourteen and when I asked him if he would see the lights he said I would hear strange scratching sounds coming from the corner of the bedroom.

    The attic was converted into a bedroom so that we could have our separate bedrooms.  The attic became my bedroom. Things seemed alright.  I always had the feeling like I was being watched. One weekend I went camping and when we returned home I went to my bedroom and  saw that my TV was on.  I just dismissed it saying that I must have left it on or that the cat stepped on the remote.  Eventually the TV started to come on by itself all the time, usually around 5 or 6 in the morning.  The first time really scared me but i started to get used to it. It got to the point that it would come on three times a night.  I hated that my sleep was being interrupted.  I yelled out one night before i went to be for it to stop.  It did.  It only came on during the day while I was at school. I know that it was not my cat stepping on the remote because i took the batteries out and i knew it wasn't the timer because i checked to be sure that it wasn't set.

   Other things happened also.  One night while I was staying over at friends house my brother told me that he heard what sounded like someone bouncing a tennis ball on the floor.  His room was directly below mine.  One night my dad came to my room because he heard a loud thump and thought that I might have fallen out of bed, but I heard nothing.  I would hear the loud thumps every now and then.  Everytime I would check everything would be in place.  One day while my brother was cooking dinner he  was standing by the counter and about 3 to 4 feet away was the microwave cabinet behind him.  A tupperware dish flew out and hit him on the leg.  It did not hurt him, just startled him.

    My animals would hear and see things that weren't there.  I had a rabbit that would run around its cage like it was chasing something, but there wasn't anything.

    I moved out about four years ago with my boyfriend.  I think what ever was haunting my house followed me.  I still get the feeling of being watched.  Our VCR likes to come on and rewind itself without anyone messing with it.  I have a cat figurine that would move out of place.  I hear strange footsteps and my cats stare at things on the ceilings and walls that are not there.  They would stare at the wall and meow at nothing. Something strange always happens no matter where we move.    My mom and brother still live at the house and have not experienced anything strange since I have left.  My brother had my old TV and so far it has not came on by itself.  It has not came on in over fours years.  Is it possible for a ghost to follow someone?  If so why?

I have a couple more stories that I will send.  All of my stories are true.

Chaos: WOW. A lot to comment on here. Yes ghosts CAN follow if they want to. They don't normally do this though and when they do they tend to go back to where ever they came from after a while. Every case will be different. You cannot predict what a spirit will and will not do as they are like us. The question is are you sensitive enough to see them and this is what keeps them coming back. Those with the gift will have nearby ghosts and spirits make themselves known to to you. Sometimes you don't have to be that sensitive to them but simply be willing to te believe that they are there.  It's not something to be afraid of but it can be a bit spooky. TV's and VCR's that work on their own are a sign of a haunting.
