I was startled at first because it had surprised me, then I said "What?" and opened the door. Both my parents were sound asleep. This was not the first time I had heard a woman's voice talking to me, but this time it was very close, like she was talking right next to me. I got spooked by this simply because the hauntings had been relatively quiet for almost a year, with the exception of a "knocking" I had heard in the attic on and off.

I went back downstairs to get my dog and bring him upstairs with me. He noticed nothing, and we went to bed. As I lay there, I started to notice some collectibles I had hanging from the ceiling on fishing line began to move. The windows were closed and no wind was present in the room. My dog noticed this too, and then the items began to swing wildly. I was still shaken up by what happened earlier with the voice. I began to go through my ritual of banning the spirits from being there and sending them away. After about 10 minutes, it all stopped. I got the impression that the spirits knew I was leaving shortly and wanted to give me one last parting shot. I hadn't been through an episode this active and confrontational in a while, so my dog and I paid a late night visit to my fiancé and spent the rest of the night there to insure uninterrupted sleep.
