Ghosts, for me, are things I can only see out of the corner of my eye. If I ever try to look at a spook straight on, It dissapears.
I used to live across the road from a house that had been empty for about a year...And yet every time I went past it, I always thought that I could see someone inside, sitting at the window, gazing out.
So, one afternoon, my friend and I went over and snuck inside.
It was really wierd downstairs, because I kept on thinking I could see someone walking...more like angrily stomping around in the living-room. We kept on hearing some mumbling and muttering sounds, coming from upstairs...but really faint though, we had to hold our breaths to hear it.
So we went upstairs; and into a bedroom that faced the road, and my house, and what I saw scared my Sh!tless; a woman, in raggedy clothes, staring out the window, and talking to herself.
I stared at her straight on, but she didn't dissapear like the others would, and turned to look at me.
My friend ran for it; and so did I, but not before seeing a little girl, out of the corner of my eye, sitting in the right-hand corner of the room, hugging her knees and looking at me.
I never went back inside that house, but was told about what happened in it a couple of years before. A family had lived there, mother, father, and daughter. The man was apparently a child-abuser, and had been in some sort of court-case or something over it. However, one night, a burgeler broke in, and caught by surprize at the family being there, had shot the family dead, the father downstairs, the girl in her room, and the mother in her room.
I was also told that they had found a squatter on the premises, a few days after I had gone there.
Whether she could see the ghosts and was talking to them, or whether she was just a cold old crazy lady, I'll never know.
:eek
Everyone likes a good spook story.
