A Whole New Level of Fear

Paul and his younger brother Bobby made shared the basement as their bedroom. They both remember hearing “voices calling Paul by name.” Other ghost sightings were seen by Paul’s sister, Connie. She says that she saw a strange “women in her room.” Paul’s parent’s, Karen and Ed, did not believe their children had actually seen true ghost sightings. They blamed Paul's medicine for giving him hallucinations, in which Paul's doctor confirmed that the medicine was not the cause of Paul's behavior.Instead they accused Paul of making these stories up to scare his younger siblings. They believed that Paul’s negative influence on the children was the reason for them believing that there were actual ghosts in the house. As a result of these accusations, the family started to notice that “Paul’s attitude had started to drastically change.” He became “very distinct” from his family and kept to himself. He also started to “dress in dark clothing” and he would tell his cousin, Theresa, who was living with them at the time, that an “evil spirit was telling him to do horrible things to his family.” One night, Paul went into Theresa’s room and attacked her. Paul was immediately taken out of the home and put into a mental hospital. While being forced to enter the hospital he yelled to his parents “now that I’m gone it will be after you!”
