This is an experience which I will have to endure the rest
of my childhood. (Possibly longer.) It all started when I
was in bed one night. I had just got home from a big party,
and my stomach was not feeling too good. It was about 12:00
when I got up out of bed to use the bathroom. But when I
got to the one upstairs, it was being used. But there
wasn't a light on.
I knocked, but nobody answered. I knocked over and over,
but there was no response. Suddenly, the light turned on.
There was a shadow walking back and forth under the small
opening in the door, and I could hear a faint pace of
footsteps. Clump... Clump... Clump... I knocked again, and
the shadow stopped. Much like the movie "Signs" yes? But
this was for real. I managed to call out my brother's name.
The light only turned back off. I ran to my brother's
bedroom to see if he was there. He was sleeping soundly.
I checked my parents' bedroom to see if they were there.
Both of them were in their beds, asleep. I tried to wake
them up, but it wouldn't work.
I ran back to the bathroom, only to see that the door was
open. I turned on the light, and looked all around. There
was nothing there. I was now becoming very freaked out, as
if I wasn't before. I braved to close the door, and go to
the bathroom. When I unlocked and opened the door, I saw a
shadow quickly pass by the hallway, and into the living
room. I turned the light on in the living room, and saw a
shadow go into the dining room. I turned back to go into
the kitchen.
The shadow went back into the living room. I ran into the
dining room to peek into the living room, but a shadow went
into the kitchen. Then back into the living room. This time
I went through the kitchen to enter the living room that
way, but the shadow passed into the dining room. I ran into
the dining room, only to find the sliding glass door wide
open, and a shadow quickly pass into the darkness. I tried
to turn on the porch light, where the sliding glass door
was. I saw the shadow for less than a second, then it went
wisping into the darkness again.
This happens every night now, around 12:00. But I'm the
only one that experiences it. Sometimes there are voices,
sometimes there are doors screeching, but always, there are
shadows flashing past me.
Now, we are the only people in
the neighborhood. Everyone else moved away for "various
reasons", but I don't take that. I know why they did it. I
know what they were running from. They were just too scared
to say it. The shadows were invading their houses.
