When I was in grade school, my girl scout troop had an overnight at my grade school. A few friends of mine and I decided to sleep in the hallway. It was dark in the hall and about halfway down was a gate. When it was almost morning, we were still chatting when all of a sudden all conversation ceased. At the far end of the hall, a human-shaped light was gliding closer. When it got to the metal gate it passed through and kept coming. It came close enough to our sleeping bags so we could see it was a woman, with empty holes where her eyes should have been. She was wearing a tattered white dress and was surrounded by a translucent light. For awhile, we all sat, terrified. Finally, someone screamed and we all ran to the gym where the others were. No one looked back.
About 20 years ago, there was a flood in my community. Many people died and the school gym was used as a temporary morgue. I have no doubt this woman was a flood victim who was brought into the school and died there. I don't know why she stayed behind or why she appeared to me. I do know this story is very true and I hope I am never that scared again in my life.
