I never believed in ghosts as a kid. I honestly just thought it was just another way for my parents to scare me. when I was 18 I was living in a small town with my mother and our house was said to be haunted. I didn't believe any of the neighbors. one day I was at home on my lunch break from work. I was sitting in my recliner and the recliner next to me started rocking by itself. I thought it was the cat but it wasn't the cat was walking down the hallway about ten feet away from the chair. about ten seconds later I heard a demonic type growl I ran out of the house and went back to work early. so after that kept happening I couldn't deny the paranormal anymore.
