My Haunting

When I was 11, a spirit named Jack started talking to me. I thought it was a joke at first and that my baby brother was trying to play a prank on me. Then he started talking to me in class and would follow me home. And that was really scary because I lived in a not so good neighborhood and my school at the time was terrible.

Then he followed me everywhere.

I never told anyone because I was scared and fascinated by it. But he actually had some boundaries, like he wouldn't follow me into the bathroom unless I was brushing my teeth or my hair. Then he disappeared for a year.

After I met my best friend, he came back. At first, I was skeptical. My door would close on its own and my lights would flicker from time to time. I actually don't have a recollection from this moment but my bff told me that he possessed me and talked to her for a minute or two.

My cousins (ages 10 and 6 at the time, I believe) were over and they wanted to hang out in my room with her and me. She told me that Jack told her that if she let them in, he would kill them. I am thankful she didn't let them in because I love my family and the youngest is hilarious. After I came to, I felt sick and drained. I still walked my bff home but I took a small nap after I got back. After that, Jack wasn't as mean or rude.

And then another spirit started haunting my bff (lets call the bff "T"). Jack told me his name was Kitt and I told T. My cousin who went to the same school as me (we'll call her E) was upset coz she didn't have a spirit haunting her. I, having the most experience at the time, ask why in Zeus' domain did she want a spirit? She shrugged and told she didn't want to be left out.

T thought it was awesome but Jack would keep me from talking to this really cute boy in my class and would shove me from time to time. Sometime in January, Jack told me that he would kill anyone that I told except for T, E and a select friend. I told my friend (we'll call him A) and A kept his mouth shut. After that, my mom told us that we were moving to Oregon. Jack and Kitt disappeared and me or T never heard from them again.

I am currently 14 and this still scares the living fuck out of me. I told my current boyfriend and he has had similar experiences. He told me to tell him if it happens again and that I am thankful for. I hope no one is dealing with Jack. If you are, my deepest sympathies.
