Strange things happening after my uncle died in 09

okay so im a 13 year old girl & ever since my uncle died on his birthday in 09, strange things have been happening to me. first off, ill start with school...ever since the death of my uncle i have been loosing friends. i will be sitting in the middle of social studies class, and the door would be open, and all of a sudden i would hear someone whispering my name, and i'd turn around, and see my uncle standing there staring at me then all of a sudden, he fades away!?? ive been having nightmares too. another time, i was home alone around 6, and i was sitting on my front porch, all of a sudden my dog starts barking like crazy (i have a rotweiler, however u spell it), and i'd see my uncle staring at me, then i'd see him running up to me really fast, with like a hatchet in his hand so i run inside and lock my front door & my backdoor and sit in my living room to wait 4 my parents to get home...every 10 or 20 minutes i go up to my door to see if he's still there, and he'd still be standing there just staring through the door, sometimes i'd even hear my name again coming from my room, and banging on my windows...it all finally went away around 8, there's alot more, but idk whats going on. (my friends think im psycho when i tell them everything, thats why i said i've been loosing friends.) im not for sure if its a spirit or something??? my teachers even notice me staring out the doors weirdly, and me talking to the door, but no one would be there..?

First of all, we don't want to tell anyone just yet. We say yet, because there are some things we need to know about this ghost. Since some of these questions are private in nature and we feel that not everyone needs to know this, you can email us at our yahoo address in strict confidence. We have people on staff that you can discuss the situation with if you don't feel comfortable with us, generally speaking. Believe it or not your situation is not that uncommon. We don't want to suggest a Therapist at this point until all avenues have been examined. Some of the questions we need to know are: When did this start? Do you see him all the time? Does mom and dad know? What do they say about this? What did you mean by 'with like a hatchet'? Is it a hatchet? Does he carry it all the time?
