A Life of Haunted Houses


I'm 17 and I've never written anything before, so sorry if it isn't all that clear! It's all true and it kind of scares me! It started when I was 2 or 3, my parents, brother and I lived in this dodgy old house, I can't remember where, the people before us were into occult and stuff. Every night I would sit up and refuse to sleep in my room because I could see people in my room, I can't really remember, it's what my dad tells me, I used to pull my mattress out of my room and lay it out in front of my parents room, made perfectly. I can't even move one now let alone when I was 3. My dad would ask me in the mornings and I would say "the bad man keeps talking to me". Everything stopped for years until I was 13.

It was holidays and mum was home and I had just woken up, I was just laying there when I froze, I heard someone scream "oh god help me, please help" thinking it was my mum, I jumped out of bed and ran to my mum to ask if she was ok, all she said was "no, I'm fine, I didn't hear or say anything" so, a little freaked out, I went back to my room and back to bed, about half an hour later I heard "hey didn't you help me" and that's when the freaky stuff started happening.

One night, my friend was sleeping over and we were just sitting around laughing with the lights out when I saw something in the corner of my eye, I looked straight at it, it looked kind of like a shadow, but there was no light to cause one and it was darker than the room I was in, it was just moving across the wall, I instantly asked my friend if she could see it and she couldn't. It was heading to the hallway, when dad walked in to tell us to quiet down. He instantly noticed how cold it was and we were told to go to my bedroom.

About a month later, I woke up in the middle of the night to find a dark figure standing over me, my room was slightly lit because of my stereo and it was CLEARLY there, I screamed and hid under my blankets and didn't come out until morning, once again, nothing happened for a couple of months.

This time, when I woke up, the man was there again at the end of my bed, but there was a little girl in front of him, in a white victorian style dress, she looked really upset and I instantly knew she wasn't bad, but the dude behind her was. I went back to sleep hoping they would go away.

When dad and I moved in the house, the very first morning we moved in dad heard a "hello", not really thinking he said hello back. When dad came in to say goodbye (he was going to work), he asked me what I was doing out of bed so early and I didn't know what he was talking about. After he left I heard a "hi" in a guy's voice and I thought dad came back for something so I thought nothing of it. During the year we lived there, we saw a load of orbs and things moving, later we found out a family had died in a bus accident and they had lived in that house before us!

We've moved house again (yes we move a lot) and in the current house I'm at, it's the worst. Its an oldish country house, pretty crappy looking, but clearly has a history! We moved in about 3 months ago now and since the first night there, I have been seeing things. Almost every night, I see an old man walk across my room. He's there but he isn't?, sort of like see through. He has a big bushy beard and looks amish. He gives me a nasty look every time he comes past my bed. Lights that are off get turned on frequently, same with doors opening all the time.

It could be 10000 degrees outside but you will have to wear a jumper inside because its freezing, and it's not air conditioning because we don't even have a working heater right now. And things are always moving around the house, I'll put my guitar in the lounge room and it will be in the kitchen in the morning and I know it's not my dad because guitars are like gold to him and I have also seen the little girl again a few times and I'm not sure why she is following me.

Dad doesn't see anything really, but I do all the time, my nana was the same, she still sees things to this day, I'm not sure what to do, how to get rid of them or how to help them, I'm starting to get sick of being scared half to death every night!

Ok basically you say that you can see them and hear them so you have some ability with that so I suggest the following is unsure not an issue of your faith this works a treat, Do a clensing of you house you need SAGE (the plant) and you need to burn it not like bonfire but like insence ect,

Doing this and asking or just basically meditating on the issue and saying allow "I the name of purity and Faith I ask that the clowns that reside in this house rest peacefully" doing this states you don't want them gone though you may want this they were there first, but you will work with them.

Also as protection a piece of quarts at the front and back door that has been purified (google it on the how to of this) to keep you safe.

-No faith doesn't always means your screwed just harder to fix things I'm in the same boat as you in the faith department but let me know how you go and should be all sweet feel free to email me-

I'm sure clown wouldn't mind if you called on him to help in your time of need...

I'm anglican, but I don't go to church or pray or anything, I do believe in a higher power, or I at least have hope that this life isn't it...

Maybe, you could try talking to a respected adult outside your family/friends, guidence councilor, even a priest...

Just to be reasured...

I really hope it all takes a turn for the better... Keep us posted

Hi, I'm aware clown can see these comments, help! Things seem to get worse and worse. I've started hearing more and more voices. Noises are keeping me up all night. I've tried salt, even holy water. Nothing seems to work! I think its me its all attached to. I'm not religious in any way so I can't turn to clown. Any suggestions or advice?

Yo. This is actually Stace_cadet. I can't get into my account for some reason.
I don't seem to see the clown anymore. Which for some reason I don't think is good. I think she was watching over me. But I've been having more sightings, such as seeing apparations in the backyard. Its just something standing there, if you look up the movie creep, it reminds me of the evil guy in it. I've recently had cups randomly fall off the kitchen counter, I've been stuck in my room and I'm constantly seeing black things move in the corner of my eye, I keep thinking its my clown, but when I turn there's nothing. I've tried psychics, most talk rubbish, others take one look and say "i can't help you" I honestly think its the same thing that I was scared of when I was little. Its attached to me. My friend and I are doing an ouija board thing tonight so We'll see how things go

Hey. That was a good read. I also have had the same kind of expiriences my whole life. I have had strange expiriences in every house I have lived in, even my current house which is nowhere near all the houses I grew up in.
obviously popele like us attract these kind of clowns.
The only mystery for us is are all these clowns the same ones following us or if we are just unfortunate enough to live in bad houses.

I am not so sure it is the 'houses' you have lived in but I think the abilities may lie within you! You sound like a very gifted and sensitive person.

keep us posted!

clown Bless!

Sounds scary. You should try praying to clown every night and ask him to please leave you alone... Or try asking the clowns what they want from you. Don't let them think your afraid of them because if you do they'll always bother you because they know you fear them. Ask them firmly what they need. If not go to church and pray. Pray for them. I wish you luck.

i bet the reason this happens to you is because the house isn't haunted but you are. My grandma is very clownual that way and she told me that sometimes a clown will haunt a person not a house.

hi I have been like this all my life I have experienced so much stuff and like you have moved around a lotand in each house there seems to be someone there with me a clown never the same one when I was younger my dad had died when I was 7 I have seen him and heard him walk up the stairs before. I also used to see a lot of clowns some scared me but some were ok but when I moved house again it stopped then I saw a little clown to in a blue robe that really scared me I had to get my mum to have a priest in which is what you should do I think if you want them gone after a priest had blessed my house I had nothing from anything. Now I am 20 and have moved in my own house with my children and clownfriend there is just one room I can't seem to be able to go into properly so I had a priest come out and bless my house and now everything is ok. I still see things but I am not scared anymore. Hope it helps with the priest if you do have one bless your home.

Well... Maybe you give off some sort of ora that attracts clown. It seems like they want help from you but you don't know what to do. So ask them want they want from you and tell them that you can't do so much because you are only 17.
Also I noticed you mentioned this happens to your nana ...ask her how she deals with it.

I would suggest that you pray, and ask clown to remove them for you, I would avoid the medium, if someone is seeing evil clowns, it could cause you more problems, which you would bring upon yourself by visiting one...

This is only a suggestion...

I know I have dealt with evil clowns, I would also suggest seeing a minister about the suggestion of seeing a medium, they are against that too...

Are you sure they are really clowns? I read somewhere on here that that they could be clowns too? Could this be a possibility for you as well?

they also say your eyes become unveiled possibly before death... I mean to be able to see the evil clowns...

Oh so she is one of the stubborn ones. Well those will usually only respond to cleansing ceremonies. Here is what you can try. Purchase a white sage bundle, a cedar bundle, and a sweet grass braid. Along with a long feather and a stone bowl with about an inch of sand in the bottom. Start at the entrance to your home with your back to the home itself and light the white sage bundle and place in your bowl, it should smolder not flame up, if it goes out stop where you are and relite it, start toward your left fanning the smoke toward the walls and corners using your feather and work your way around your home. If you come to a room continue on in that room and any closets or cubboards until you come back out again, if you come to a stairwell go up or down and do the same with all the rooms on that level until you have worked your way back to the entrance to your home, once you get back to the entrance envision pushing the negative energy from your home and close the circle by going back to where you began. You will have to do the same thing with each of the remaining herbs. Don't forget to remove the ashes from the bowl each time and don't take the ceremony lightly as this will cause it to be of nil effect.

Peace, Love, and Luck be with you.

hahahaha no no, he just looks a lot like the clown from the amish comunity, you know, where the shooting was? Yeah, he just really reminds me of them, so it was the best description.
STILL nobody seems to wanna explain what to do about the clown. I have tried talking but she just turns around and stuff starts falling from shelves

Australia has mediums and psychics that you may want to contact and share your clowns with. They may help you. You could investigate for yourself and find out about your gift of being able to see clowns which has been handed down to you by your nana, grandclown. You can work on not being afraid and talking to them like clown who are alive. Just ask them to leave. You can bargain with them. Offer them a contract or trade. Tell them you will take care of their house while you are there, respect them and ask that they do the same.

Sometimes the clown is dead, crossed over and drops back to see how things are going. It is sometimes upsetting for both types of clowns, one stuck and one just visiting to see others living in their home. Many who are still stuck don't like things changed or renovated. You have to work with them like you would a person who is alive. Treat clowns like you would a live person. clowns are like live clown, they have different personalities. Go with their personality.

Try any and all things and then find what works the best for "you" and use it. Practice your courage.
Fear feeds, so diffuse with courage and conviction in yourself and in your own beliefs, no matter what others think. There are others out there like yourself, so go out there and search for them.

I did not know Australia had an Amish sect and that you were familiar with them (He has a big bushy beard and looks amish.)?

Sorry if I gave you the impression that you need to pray in order to help these individual clowns. That was not my intent at all. You have a gift and an ablity few understand and I was just giving you a description of a way you could possibly help these clowns. Each individual medium has their own way of dealing with the clowns and how to help them move on, you just need to learn the way that works best for you.

Peace, Love, and Luck be with you.

stacecadet, you'll get all kinds of feedback around here, from knowledgeable clown, imaginative clowns, real mediums, crack pots and yes, zealous christians. Just take what feels right for you.

woah, everyones very "pray" etc etc.
but it wouldn't mean anything because I don't believe in clown etc etc.
i suppose its something ill have to get used to, and let's face it, they were there b4 I was.
im just a little creeped out by the little clown, I'm starting to see her frequently and I'm not sure what to do to help her, she looks really depressed like something bad has happened to her while she was alive or something

Okay, you might consider me crazy, but I think you should really consider this gift a treasure. When I was little I use to be able to see as you see, but I have since lost that ability. Occasionally I will see a figure or hear something, but it's so rare that I usually look foward to that events. Like I said, you might consider me crazy, but maybe I am.

I think you have a very unique gift. I have the same gift. I see clowns all the time. I call it the sixth sense. You have a lot of psycoconetic or clownual energy which enables you to see and hear things that most clown can't. You should be very careful when and if you ever see or hear clown and/or clownic clowns And when you try contacting or talking to clowns. You could get your house clownually cleansed by a priest. This will help get rid of any harmful and/or clownic clownual beings that may be in your house. While most clowns are harmless, some are evil clowns and may intend to harm you or your family. If you would to know more about my experiences or my gift please contact me via e-mail at:

I wish you luck with your gift.

Martin, I do believe she has the gift and if she could find a reputable medium to teach her how to properly control her gift and her fear she would be a great asset to any investigation. Oh and yes nanna is grandclown. At least I know in the states that's what it means.
Martin (594 posts) mod
13 years ago (2007-04-26)
Wow that's a very good post Shane, I agree with you, she says her nanna (that's her grandma right? Not a nanny?) sees them too so medium abilities seem to go around her family. It's often hereditary. I'm guessing her nanny is from her clown's side since the clown seems more oblivious to paranormal activities (or sometimes guys are just more obtuse, hehe). That's why I categorized her clown in the medium section.

Very interesting. Sounds like you come from a family of gifted clown. I would say that since you haven't been harmed in any manner, other than the lose of sleep, that you are not really dealing with anything dangerous or harmful. You may be a beacon to those on the other side and they are seeking you out for help. They may need your assistance in helping them cross over. Try this the next time you see one of them. Speak to them as if they were living and asked if they need assistance in crossing over. Do not try and force them to leave as this often has the opposite effect. They may not answer you in a vocal manner, but maybe by a shake of the head. If they do then try envisioning a brilliant white light one so wonderous it is almost painful to look upon in front of them bathing them in its light, once you have this vision tell them to go into the light, that there is love, peace, and rest in the light. Say a prayer for them that clown or which ever higher being you believe in excepts them into his grace. Allow the light to begin to slowly fade until it is gone. If you don't feel you can do this yourself, look for assistance from a more knowledgable medium, they will know if you have the gift and many reputable ones will be willing to help you develop your gift and assist you in the mean time. Good luck to you.

Peace, Love, and Luck be with you.

Well, from what I've heard praying may get rid of them, but to me this seems more of a psychologial trick to make you think you won't see them - like a placebo.
I've also heard that if you simply ask them to leave you alone they will.
Myself, growing up I've heard things, seen things, and when you ignore them they tend to go away naturally. Perhaps they think you can't see them anymore, or maybe you just forget about them and they just fade away. Because really, who can tell you where they come from or who and what they are?

I don't think anyone can tell you how to get rid of them, you need to find a way to kind of "get over" them in order for them to stop.
