Since it is October, the spookiest month of all, here is a Spooky Ghost Experience. It was 1990. It was a dark night in rural Illinois. I sat up in my bed and I had this strange feeling that someone was in the house. Someone was there who wasn’t part of my family. So I slowly walked out of bed and entered the hallway. The air was stale and cold. It must have been winter-time. Then I felt a strange sensation through my body. It was as if I did something that was in violation of an unwritten law. The feeling was like I was in the presence of something that I was not supposed to be aware of. Then when I looked down the hallway, I saw a shadowy figure walking slowly. It had the body shape of a man, but it was pure darkness. I didn’t believe my eyes at first. So I looked closer. And it felt like I was gazing into an abyss. I remember the shadow figure had a completely different body type than my brother or father. I can’t remember if it was walking toward me or away from me. But it was moving very slowly. After seeing the shadow figure I quickly and quietly went back into my room and shut the door. I didn’t want it to come inside my room. And I tried to sleep, knowing I wasn’t alone.
That was a long time ago. And it happened late at night.
I’ll tell more spooky things as this hallowed month progresses!
