First off, Happy 2005 everyone.

Now, let me share my story of just the past 24 hours.

I wanted to update this yesterday, but I've been so busy with cleaning and running around that I couldn't. But let me share my continuation of my ghost. Yes, there's more than what I had before. Yesterday I was cleaning my room because my parents wanted the whole house clean for the New Year. So I came across a pile of papers next to my bookshelf that I was meaning to sort out. So I started to sort the papers and came across this one paper in which I remember taking from my printer on Christmas Eve. On that day, my brother got me whole new ink cartridges and so I installed them and wanted to test them out, however my printer wasn't printing, and my brother and I realized there was a piece of paper stuck in my printer. So we ripped it out and pushed it aside as it was nothing.

Well, while I was sorting through the papers today, I realized I came across this half-printed paper and didn't bother to see what I tried to print last time. Well, after reading what I saw, I started to shake uncontrollably and didn't know what to think. On the very top of the paper there was a sentence, I suppose, that looked to be handwritten. You know how you print something, and then decide to cancel it for whatever reason and the printer spits out whatever it could print before you cancelled? Well it was just like that. Half of this one sentence was cut off, and again, it was not typed, but handwritten.

It read: He's out for you

Talking to some friends online, they told me that yes, it was weird, however nothing to worry about. I tried to put it aside and continue my cleaning, in which I did. Well, let's now fastfoward to last night.

The Benkovich family (my older sister's family) came by just in time to celebrate the New Year with my folks and I. With only 10 minutes to spare, we gathered the champagne and counted down when the last minute approached. We wished eachother a Happy New Year, and I called Briana to wish her a good year since she was all alone this year. :/

As I was talking to her, my brother Carlos decided to tell Mike and Maribel about the paper. I told Bri I'd call her back and went on and told the story to both Mike and Maribel. If I've never mentioned it before--Mike has a thing about seeing spirits and whatnot. When I first told him of the weird noises I heard a week ago, he was freaked and said "Glad it's happening to you and not me for once". So after explaining this new story, he again repeated what he said before. I showed them the paper and Maribel assumed a spirit was trying to give me a warning. I was scared out of my wits.

So mom is confused about what's going on, since she only speaks Spanish. So my sister and brother try to explain to her what the paper said. We're there in the living room for 10 minutes maybe, and I noticed Mike had disappeared.

Suddenly, Mike bursted through the front door, and pointed straight at me and shouted, "YOU! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU! YOU!" His reaction made me frightened, but everyone else was laughing. We asked him what the hell he was talking about, and he said he left to go see my other sister Jessica (who did not join us tonight), and we all said "She's not home!" and he said "Well I didn't know that, but I wanted to say Happy New Year to her..so I'm driving down the street and I look into my rearview mirror and I see a girl sitting in the back seat, with long brown hair, and she was all white. She had no face." I started to freak out. He continued, "She said something to me. She said 'It's okay' or like 'It's going to be alright'". And Maribel said "...Jo, I think that was a message to you. She told him it's okay...so the paper you found, perhaps she wanted to say to not worry about it."

And Mike. Oh Mike. He was Pale. White. I had never seen him freak out EVER before in my entire life. He said he was blasting Bon Jovi's "Livin'On A Prayer" (UGHOMG) and saw her. He said he got so scared that he pulled over and tried to call Maribel but Mari said she had no ringing/missed calls.

My father suggested that it's a Guardian Angel. Maribel thinks it could be my deceased niece, Abbie, who died 10 years ago. Mike says he swore he saw this spirit once before when they used to live next door. So yay. Ghosts.

My parents and I, and Mike went into my room and Mike said out loud, "Whoever you are, please. Please, do not hurt us. We mean no harm to you. You are more than welcomed into our house, and if you're here for a good purpose, let it be to protect this family. Over Johanna. Over Hector and Paulina. Please, do not hurt any of us. We welcome you wholeheartedly. You may stay, but please do not hurt my family, or this family."

And as I grabbed my jacket I added, "And Please, do me a favor and don't show yourself. You can stay, but please do not show yourself."

So then we left for the party, where there were many drunk people. I went home alone, because I got too tired for that party. I decided to sleep with my light on, door open, and music on. I did not fall asleep last night until 6:30 AM. I talked to Shia on the phone and he helped me calm my nerves until parents came home...I never really believed in spirits before...but now I truly do. And I pray that whoever this may be, is my Guardian Angel.

...Happy 2005.
