It started when we moved to our house in Palmdale, CA. It's brand new, so not a likely candidate for a haunting… My brother was eight years old. His room was right across the hall from mine. The first night he slept in there, he complained that there was something "scary". After a month of having no one take him seriously, I decided to humor him by swapping rooms for a few days. His bed had drawers under the mattress. That night, I woke up to the sound of the drawers slowly opening. It got really cold in the room, and the doorknob began to rattle. I was so terrified that I ran to sleep with my parents. The next day, my mom hung a big cross on the wall of the room. She promised us that that would take care of any "evil spirits". To our amazement, it worked. I never really knew what I thought about God before that, but now I'm definitely a believer.
