Late Night Stroll
USA
March 2003
This is a short story but it is true.
My daughter and I were up late packing the last of our belongings. We were moving in the morning. My husband and 3 other children were asleep. It was about 1:30 in the morning. We had finished packing and we went to bed.
I was just falling asleep when I was woken up by my daughter. She was standing right next to my bed crying. She said that she was in bed and someone or something sat at the foot of her bed. She said it just sat there. She couldn't see anyone but there was a dent in the mattress as if someone was sitting there. She said it sat there for a few seconds and then was gone.
There are a few other things that happened in that house.
One night I was asleep and I woke up suddenly because I felt someone rubbing my back. I jumped out of bed and turned the light on. But there was nobody there.
Another time my husband was asleep and he woke up because someone was squeezing his toes, and then it touched his shoulder.
All these things happened while we were asleep or just waking up. I don't know if they were dreams or ghosts but I'll tell you one thing, I'm glad to be out of that house.
Well, that's the end of my story.
