Near a small town in Texas, there is a ranch run by a family for over 150 years.
Neither the name of the ranch nor the surname of the family is indicated in this story, since according to the author, no one wants publicity. The ranch contains many horses and cows, and their land extends over 1200 acres.
Xiania is now 30 years old and grew up surrounded by her parents, grandmother and four brothers. But these are not the only members of her family who are here. In the far corner of the ranch, there is an old cemetery where great-grandfathers, their uncles, aunts and others are buried.
Some of the graves in this cemetery have figures from the 1700s on their tombstones, which means that old ranchers are also buried here. And according to Xiania, from time to time in this cemetery you can see the ghosts of people buried here.
“Both my grandmother and I personally saw the ghosts of several of our relatives who had died years earlier. At the same time, my grandmother was sure that they were there to watch and protect the ranch, as well as help us, but I thought they were pretty evil.
According to the girl, once she saw frightening dark shadows appear on the second floor of the house, and once she and her grandmother saw a woman on the stairs in an old dark Victorian dress with a large collar. Her hair was pulled into a tight bun, and her face did not express any emotion and looked into emptiness.
But all these ghosts did not frighten the girl, until one day something entered her room.
“I was then a child and sat at the table, doing my homework. Suddenly I had the feeling that they were staring at me, and then it became very cold. I looked up from the notebook and turned around and then the doll. that was sitting on my bed fell on the floor by itself. But she herself could not do it, she was sitting in the middle of the bed. And then the doll rose by itself and was back on the bed."

After that, paranormal things in the house began to happen more often. Doors at night began to open by themselves, and the light turned on and off. And one night, when the girl was lying in bed, she heard something whisper in her ear and repeatedly called her by name.
“My name is not very easy to pronounce, few people will be able to say it correctly the first time. But this invisible person called me correctly, as if he had known me for a long time."
According to Xiania, this invisible entity, after that appearance, apparently later hid in a closet. A domestic cat named Jasper from that time began to behave wary next to the closet and once sat down next to him and began to hiss on the closet.
"And then Jasper disappeared somewhere and no one found him."
Other pets were also afraid of this cabinet. The girl had a pet ferret Pierre, who loved to get into drawers and cupboards and loved to sleep on shelves. Once he was seen spinning next to a closet and then he also disappeared without a trace.
Then the paranormal entities began to pursue the girl outside the ranch. One day she went on a horse to look for a lost calf and saw a man in a typical Indian costume, who looked about 40 years old. And he disappeared into thin air, as soon as the girl drove closer, and before that he looked intently at her.
"My horse, which is usually not afraid of even snakes, after that flatly refused to move on through the wasteland and we had to go back."
Then suddenly everything calmed down and did not manifest itself in any way until 2011. Xiania's brother's girlfriend stated that she could make contact with local ghosts and one weekend when Xiania's grandmother and parents were away, the youth gathered in Xiania's room and began a session with an Ouija board for seances.
A friend of her brother brought with her a group of local "ghostbusters" who set up microphones and video cameras throughout the house. They lurked in ambush when the Ouija board game began.
“I myself was strongly against this whole idea. My grandmother called these sessions very dangerous because they can open the door to the devil."
As soon as the first question was asked to the blackboard, the sign began to move and called itself a great-aunt. Then another face appeared, which was not Xiania's relatives, and after that the room got colder, and then it became very hot and unpleasantly smelled of rotten eggs.
"What's your name?" - the question of the essence was asked.
In response, the pointer slid to the letters that formed the words "I will not tell."
"What are you doing here?"
"You called me."
“All this began to frighten me greatly. Many candles were burning around the board and people, it was dark and eerie. The air itself seemed to begin to thicken. It is difficult to explain this feeling, "- says Xiania, -" To distract myself, I looked out the window and there suddenly I saw a dark hunched shadow next to a large tree. As if noticing me, the figure quickly disappeared into thin air and disappeared."
“What is your goal here?” The question was asked again.
“Harm,” came the answer.
A second after this answer, all the candles in the room went out and everyone was terribly frightened. The "Hunters" quickly collected all their equipment and left. My brother's friend also left with the Ouija board. But there was something ominous in the girl's room and it smelled bad for a long time.
And soon after that, Xiania's horse literally stumbled from scratch and the girl flew to the ground. She landed safely, but a frightened horse hit her legs several times with his hooves. Xiania was hospitalized for two months after that.
When Xiania left the hospital, every day of her stay in her house seemed to suck her juices. She was losing weight and feeling bad. Her legs ached again and she hardly got out of bed.
“I was also haunted by nightmares, in which there were some creepy creatures like demons. They overtook me and did various terrible things to me and my family. One day I woke up in the middle of the night from another nightmare and saw the same stooped shadow near my bed that I had previously seen by the tree. It looked at me, and then disappeared again in the air and disappeared."
Another night, the girl woke up with a sharp pain in her neck. The neck was burning as if from a burn, and when the girl went to the bathroom, there in the mirror she saw three fresh scratches on her neck.
Terrible things grew like a lump. One morning, the girl's father and siblings, who got up to work before everyone else, saw a huge, stinking pile of fresh feces in the middle of the kitchen. It looked as if they had been abandoned by a very large animal like an elephant.
A similar pile of slightly smaller size was found in the girl's room. According to her, never before, never later did she smell a more disgusting smell. At the same time, no animals except cats and that very ferret were never allowed into the house.
“In the meantime, my health continued to deteriorate. I felt so bad that they carried me to the sofa in the living room downstairs. I myself could not go upstairs. My mother looked after me, and then the doctor said that it was better to take me to the hospital. I lost a lot of weight, before falling from a horse with a height of 152 cm, I weighed 110 pounds (49 kg), and then I was not more than 80 pounds (36 kg)."
At the hospital, the girl felt better and she even began to gain weight. But as soon as she returned home again, sickness seized her again. And one night, Xiania's brother passed her room and saw a dark hunched figure of a man standing over the bed of his sleeping sister.
“He saw how it seemed to him the figure of an old man with bony long fingers and this figure frightened him very much. But he dared to enter my room and shout 'Hey!' And the figure disappeared immediately."
After that, Xiania and her brother convinced their parents that they wanted to live elsewhere, that it would be better for Xiania's health. And they were moved to a small house a few miles from the ranch, where the girl was finally able to recover. She still lives there.
“I still sometimes have pain in my legs, the doctors say that now it will not be cured. But it doesn't even compare to the nightmare that I experienced at my parents' ranch."
Surprisingly, for some reason, apart from Xiania, none of her relatives, who still live on the ranch, were not persecuted by this dark entity.
The story is told by anomalous researcher Jason Offutt, author of several books on paranormal incidents in Missouri.
