Stayed in a hotel room by myself for a trip to a relatives in Colorado. Througout the night the curtains kept getting opened (bout 4 times). So had to keep shutting them. The fourth time I just sat up and said, "**** it, you win"...and went to sleep.
My sister works for the National Park service and is basically paid to go to parks. Anyway, she spent an entire summer at Antietam National Battlefield in Sharpsburg, Maryland. For those unfamiliar with history, Antietam is the bloodiest day in American history. 23,000 casualties in one day, more than D-day. Any-who, the park service put her up in an old house on the Battlefield called the Pry House, which was actually used as the Union headquarters and main hospital. Now you must understand, this house was massive and sat alone on a hill. At least 15 bedrooms with no running water and limited electricity. The house was 5 minutes from any highway and was only accessible on a dirt road. The house and subsequent barn were covered in 1862 graffiti with soldiers engraving their names and ranks on window sills, door frames, and walls. The attic actually has a peep hole, in which General McClellan actually watched the battle.
Well, this house was obviously haunted. Hundreds of people had died in the house and even
General Israel died in the room next to the one in which my sister stayed in throughout the summer. Things were often moved throughout the house, but nothing ever bothered my sister until one night when someone tapped my sister's shoulder while she sleep. At first, she thought nothing of it and rolled over and went back to sleep. It happened again a few minutes later and she sat up in bed, looked around, saw nothing, and went back to sleep. It happened again a few minutes later. My sister tried to ignore it by rolling over. Several minutes later, someone/something tapped her on her shoulder for a fourth time. At this point, my sister sits up in bed and yells, "STOP ******* TOUCHING ME!!!" She was left alone the rest of night and for the duration of the stay in the house.
When my mother visited the house, she woke up in the middle of the night with someone standing over her in the moonlight. When I visited nothing happened, but you could feel the presence of someone/something inside the house at all times. A very historic place, but very haunted.
