The Hello and welcome to mini episode 495 of real-life ghost stories, and I have three spooky stories for you,

and the last story comes from the 30th of October 2025. And story number one comes from Michaela.

One day when I was about 14 to 16 years old, I think, I was watching the family dog,

Athena, a husky. I kept hearing creeks around the house. I kept quiet and listened closely,

and I swear I heard footsteps, which was weird because no one was home.

So I woke up Athena to see if she would react to the sounds.

She seemed very unsure, like uneasy.

I started to freak out and called my best friend B.

B, I'm really scared. I think there's somebody in the house.

Instead of calling 911 because I was gaslighting myself, but also because I know that there

always has been paranormal activity in my parents' house.

B said something along the lines of, I'm babysitting my sister. If I come and help, I would have to

bring her. I said, dude, I'm freaking out. I need you here. I'm babysitting my sister. If I come and help I would have to bring her. I said, dude, I'm

freaking out. I need you here. B comes into the house with her sister Kay, who was about 8 to 10 years

old. We both grab knives and go to the basement. We worked our way from the bottom to the top and

cleared each room. I felt like we were the police going through a place where

they had to clear each room. As we neared to the second floor, I could hear footsteps but quietly.

I started to feel really uncomfortable and ill. B went into my parents' room first and cleared it.

We need to check the attic, B yelled. And I said we have to search every room first. We started to walk towards my room, my brother's room and our washroom. They were side by side. My room, his room, washroom. As B walked out of my parents' room, my door, my brother's door and the washroom door slammed shut.

Keep in mind no windows were open and no windows in that washroom.

I was hanging on to B's little sister for dear life and we jumped so high that I felt heaven.
