Hi
My name is Isaiah and i had lived in Gladstone, Oregon around 1998. My parents purchased a house that was built in the nineteen--seventies and they had moved in around 1993. Almost everyone in my family that has lived in the house has had an experience with a spiritual entity of some sort. We have many stories of occurrences. The house sits on a corner lot which about a hundred years ago or more used to be someone's farm, because the original farmhouse is still located directly behind ours. There is a huge oak tree also located in our backyard and we had a Arborist look at it and he thought it was somewhere between 3 or 4 hundred years old.
Anyways this is what happened to me. One night in February of 1998 around 2:30 am I was fast asleep when in my dream i saw this blond haired girl, probably between the ages of 12-14, come walking down our driveway and up the cement stairs to our house.(It is a split-level house). She seemed sad like she was needed to get in. That's the feeling I got. Anyways she grabs the door handle to our steel gate screen and begins rattling like she is trying to get in. All the while she keeps calling me by name. Softly whispering, "Isaiah, Isaiah--open the door" I could feel her sense of urgency to get in. Why, i do not know. Well I heard this for about 3 or 4 seconds and then it stopped. Well by now this was disturbing me and i woke up. The creepy thing is I heard the rattling of the door handle again. A chill ran down my whole body and i felt someone was really trying to get in the house. I sat up in my bed and listen intently some more to see if i would hear it again, but this time instead of hearing rattling outside my bedroom window, I hear the exact footsteps I had been hearing in my dream. Slowly they walked down the steps and onto the driveway. As they walked the sound grew fainter and fainter. I could tell they were walking away towards the street or this is what i assumed. After about 3 or 4 seconds of this walking sound i got up the courage and peered outside my bedroom window to see who was really there. When i looked no one was there! I quickly looked up and down the hoping to see someone. Not one soul. Nothing!!! I was speechless and i said to myself, "What the heck was that!"
The next morning i told my sister and mom what happened to me and much to my surprise my mom tells me that the people that had previously owned the house had a daughter that matched the description almost exactly. And if that wasn't the weirdest thing I heard she proceeds to tell me that their daughter had my room. I really got a chill then. So what became of her who knows, all i know is that it was real. Very real. Well this experience is not the only story because we have many more things that have happened in our house. My sister has had the most experiences simply because she stays up late a lot and she too had experiences with dreams of the same girl. Long before i was even aware that she knew of this entity.

Sincerely,
Isaiah--Portland, OR
