Creepy Carving

•Sorry I haven't posted in a while; kinda forgot about Opuss•
•This is true 100%•

For Christmas, my grandma gave my mum this creepy looking mask/carving. Looks kinda African

On Boxing Day, my mum put it up on the wall in the living room, opposite the 3-seater sofa. I always sit on this sofa at the end and play on my laptop. I was playing Transformice like usual, and I had this unnerving feeling that something was watching me. This mask was unnerving. My mum and her boyfriend agreed that there was something not right about this mask.

So my mum took it off the wall, and put it on the floor in the dinning room, leaning again her antique cabinet... And that was that, no more feeling of being watched...

...Until the morning. It started like any other morning; woke up, went on laptop, mum and her boyfriend wake up, go downstairs with laptop...

...After a few minutes, my mum says "If we tell you something, promise you won't freak out?"... (Knowing that as much as I have a fascination with the paranormal, it scares the shit out of me)... She slowly looks at the wall and there the mask is. In all its freaky glory.

Andy and my mum both say they didn't put it back, and I know they wouldn't lie as they both looked genuinely scared. They know I wouldn't have done it cos I wouldn't go near the mask, let alone touch it. After this she put it on the wall in the hallway. It hasn't moved/been moved since.

Other creepy things have also been happening.

We already know that there's a spirit in this house; a kind spirit of a young boy (Probably about 9 or 11 years old), who died of mumps. He acts like a normal kid; moves stuff about; but he didn't do it cos he wouldn't have been able to reach (my mum had to stretch to put it up, and she's 5ft)...

•There's also the spirit of my mum's old ginger and white cat, Figgy. Who was put to sleep on New Years' Day 2011•

... Another strange happening was later on that day, (she told me this later on, cos I went to clean out a glass and found peas in the sink)... When my mum was making herself something to eat. She was draining off a tin of peas, and she keeps the lid on while doing so... And she was gently (but with some force) pushed in the back.
Hence the peas falling out into the sink.
This wasn't the kid as he doesn't do things like this.

Another occurrence; I lost my phone as it was on the table where I left it, after we looked for a few days, found it in a different room and it was on the sofa.

Probably the strangest of all is my mum's pjs.

She couldn't find them anywhere, thought they were probably in the washing pile... She put some things in the washing machine and they weren't there. Then we went into the living room and there on the small sofa, neatly folded, were these pjs. And my novelty pen (a cat) that someone gave me for Christmas, was on top of them... I thought my mum had done it for a laugh, but as neither of us had seen the pjs anywhere, there was no explanation; and they were folded up differently to how we would have folded them. And Chester (real cat; grey and white 2 year old kitten) couldn't have been playing with the pen because it was too neat to have been her and was too far away from where I'd left the pen.

There's also been times where theres been a lot of atmosphere in certain places, and the cat's been more alert than usual...

We've also noticed a few things being moved, but nothing too unordinary...

This is all for now...

Kinda creepy! Tag me in if there's any more please!

@minxyMolly I will! Glad you liked it! 😉 And thanks for the repost :P

Yeah, I love reading stuff like this - I find it really interesting!! 😄 Could I be tagged too please if there is more. 👍💓✨

Cool. We stayed a in a haunted B&B in Canada and had an interesting experience and the hosts talked about things like you're describing happening

Cool! I love reading things like this!!!

That is creepy but at least your not afraid which is a good thing.

@crowncottage this may interest you

@eddie12309 yes I do, thanks for tagging me! ☺

That sounds very interesting! My great 3rd aunt has written a book all about the paranormal, and it's all based upon her, her family (my stepdad, aunts and grandparents are in it) and things like that... I have a signed copy ;-)

That's really very interesting. I'm glad you have recognised the boy who is in your house, it must be lonely if no one knows you are there. I expect it is him who is moving stuff as a joke, height doesn't make any difference. The good thing is that you can chat just by thought, you don't need to speak out loud, so you can always ask and 'sense' the answer. I doubt the mask has anything to do with it! 😊😽

Wow. This is creepy. I shouldn't worry about it though, it doesn't seem like there's any malicious intent behind it.

This is creepy and cool at the same time. Could you tag me in if you get anymore spooky stuff.👻👻👻

Creepy

I love scary Tizzy writes @Tizzy...great to have you back Hun ...I was told years ago that child spirits are drawn to me and like to play...I often have silly unexplainable things happen in my house...we always say it's the 'kiddie spirits again'...only the other week I found a folder that I thought I had lost, it has all my verses I write on cards, I looked EVERYWHERE, kept checking the box that I was pretty sure it was in...devastated I was consoled a tad as most of them I had photocopied...anyhow...the other week I find the original folder in the box that I had searched 3/4 times...it was there right at the bottom!!😱😱😱

Sounds like a prankster to me! It does sound like something the boy would do, moving stuff around. And he could've pushed your mom, couldn't he have? I mean, some kids are really opposed to vegetables. :)

Umm, y'all actually believe this stuff? Good write, but my stuff goes missing too, and i find it the next day and realize that's exactly where I left it, I just forgot I put it there

Btw, my aunts dog is named Tizzy.

@Janflower Sure :3

@crowncottage yeah! My mum found out because she saw a young boy walking down the stairs, she said "hi" to him and asked if he was lost and she had no response, she watched him continue down the stairs and he seemed to evaporate into the door way of the kitchen! And she went to her local housing association asking about the history of the house and someone there told here about the kid; said he was 11, but my mum thinks he's about 9 years old.

@branwyn1766 sure :3

@misslittleDHP similar thing happened to me at my grandparents house with my iPod! (The house always seems creepy), I'd left it on my bed, then went downstairs... Came back up to get the iPod and it wasn't there! Looked everywhere around my bed and anywhere else... While at school, my grandad sent me a text saying that he found it and it was on my bed! (And it certainly wasn't when I looked!)

@athousandroses yeah! My mum said that too; said "He could just be saying he doesn't want his veg!)

Have you thought about placing this mask outside at night then locking all doors and windows (so no one can come and chuck it through a window or door etc). The mask might not be able to get back in. If you sell or give it away to somebody else maybe these spirits will go away.

@Onixea I did ask my mum to put it outside in the shed (or the freezer room, kinda like a shed outside the house but attached to the house)... I also asked her about selling or giving it away, but she couldn't as it was a Christmas present and my grandma would be mad xD

Right...

You have no idea how much I looked up at my dark window whilst reading that! Love the creepiness 😊😃😳😚❤😨💘👍
