Scratches And Bites 

Recently, on Tuesday, June 19, I got out of the shower and was drying myself off and there were bright red marks on my upper thighs, more on the right than the left (they may have been red because of the hot shower water)

There were about 20 in all at the time and a few of the 20 were on the sides of my hips

The longest scratch was about 4 ½ inches and the shortest one was around 2 inches. On Wednesday, June 20, more scratches appeared

Now, at least 30 scratches adorned my upper thighs and hips, still more on the thighs than hips. On Thursday, June 21, around 6 more appeared along with a supposed bite mark, the longest mark now 5 ½ inches

The bite mark, a crescent shape, frightened me to no end. It is Friday, June 22, in the afternoon when I am writing this paragraph

The scratches are white, now, but, as most scratches, turn red when I shower

The bite mark looks a lot like a scar, though it was clearly new when I got it

I also have a new mark that looks like a birth mark- that I have never seen before- on my upper thigh where some scratches and the bite mark branch out from

I searched my bed thoroughly for anything sharp, but nothing was there

The marks tingle if you press on them, but don't hurt

I do have a dog, but he's small and not only can he not get on my bed, but his nails aren't nearly sharp enough to scratch me like that. I have had paranormal encounters, and in the house I live in now, something feels off

I hear loud banging noises that no one in my house made

The poster next to my bed hanging up normally makes soft tapping noises because of the AC blowing it into the lockers next to my bed, but recently it has been banging violently for no apparent reason, we did not change the AC settings

This is not a hoax, I assure you, and I am a very frightened thirteen years old

Please, no trolling, but I will definitely be open to helpful comments about the type of ghost and treatment options. Now, it's the Monday, June 26, and yesterday, my best friend, the only one I told about this, Yahoo! Messengered me and told me that 3 scratches appeared on her upper thigh

She has less of a chance at getting them naturally than I do! I trust her to not lie about something like this, but I don't know how this is possible and what scares me more is that she gets freaked out because strange noises are in her room also. Could I have transferred the ghost onto her by telling her about it and asking for her help?
