Ghost Story Du Jour: “Our house is over 250 years old and I could always hear someone walking or running up stairs on the third floor. Another time I heard music and a whole bunch of voices, that were pretty loud, up stairs on the third floor. When I was 14 years old, I had a slumber party and we slept up on the third floor. It was about 1:00 in the morning, we heard someone moving around the room, but we were all in a circle, so it couldn’t be one of us girls. so we looked around the room and saw nothing at first. Then I saw a shadow move and then I saw the figure running straight towards me. I got really scared and couldn’t move, the figure ran straight through me. I was in shock. That figure turned around and called my name, then disappeared. That night none of us got any sleep. The next night I was having trouble sleeping,I have was still thinking about what happened the night before. I was finally going off to sleep when a shadow moved in my room. The figure was moving right toward me. Then the figure stopped right by my bedside, looking at me. I was scared and didn’t do anything. I finally saw the figure, it was a ghost of a teenage boy, looked about 17. He told me to follow him, so I got up and followed him. He lead me up to the third floor and I saw something I could not beleive, It was a slumber party going on, just like mine. But it was all guyz. Then it disappeared, and I realized it was a flashback of something that of the past that happened in the house I live in. I looked up past things that were in the newspaper about my house, and I found an article about a teenager of 17 was murdered in the house I live in now!! It had a picture of the teenager that was murdered there. It was the ghost I saw the night before. I was scared what was going on. I went home and mentioned what I found out about our house to my parents. They didn’t really care about that. So I told my friends about it, and they wanted to stay there again, at my house on the third floor. I didn’t know what to say, so they stayed the night again. And the same thing happened again as the last time they stayed at my house. I haven’t yet figure out what he wants me to see, but he keepes haunting me at night, in my dreams, beckoning me to help him. I’m 15 years old now, and the haunting continues.” (from Shadowlands)
