She never left

For years now there's been a little ghost girl in my house. She's rarely seen but heard. I can feel her staring at me in my basement, like that feeling you get when someone's watching you. I had to go upstairs once because the feeling was so powerful and I felt like someone was staring right at me. I know it's the ghost girl.

When I was about six, it was midnight and I was fast asleep. My dad was going to bed and he was walking down the hallway to get to his room. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a little girl with brown hair in a gown walk into my closet. He thought it was me and went into the closet and asked what I was doing. There was no one there. He looked at my bed and I was dead asleep. My dad decided to shake it off and declared that he was so tired that he was imagining things.

Another night about a week later, my mom heard footsteps down the hall coming toward my room. She figured it was me or my brothers getting a glass of water but the footsteps stopped right in the middle of the hallway. After that she heard a little girl quickly giggle.

I was in my room once and my acoustic guitar was out because I was taking lessons at the time. But I was in my room reading and I heard it strum all by itself, it couldn't have been my cat brushing up against it because I was the only one in my room. I got a little freaked out.

One night I was in my room getting something. I don't really remember what because this was about three years ago. I heard a voice say, "Hello!" It sounded like a little girl. The voice was high pitched. I don't have a sister either so I believe it was the little girl ghost.

About seven years ago my dad was watching TV on the couch. He turned off the TV and started to drift asleep but snapped awake when he heard a girl giggle and say, "He's sleeping!" No one around. Only him.

There are two more recent happenings. A week ago I was on the computer in my parents room. I was getting a snack and I saw a figure of a small girl out the door but disappeared after she saw me.

Two days ago my parents were in the kitchen having tea when they heard what sounded like a little kid talking. The sound was clear, but what it was saying wasn't clear.

I'm pretty sure I know who the ghost is. A very long time ago my house was originally an apple orchard with some farmers. I believe that the girl is one of the farmers daughters. One theory is that she drowned in the pond next to my house. Another is that she got sick and died, but I don't know. All I know is that she never left.

What should I do? Do you think that this is a real ghost? If so, how can I search up the history of my house? Any advice or comments are appreciated!
