We all know in my family that our house is haunted. Well, we wouldn't say haunted as much as we would just say it's still occupied by the previous owners.
My mother had told me that two nights ago she had seen a black silhouette around the corner of her doorway as she went to get a glass of water. What really creeped her out was when she had seen it poking its head around the corner, the only thing she made out was a smile, no other facial features. She immediately yelled at my step dad because she was startled, and the spirit darted away in a flash. My stepfather of course had no recollection of the event, as he was asleep peacefully.
While I was up late last night playing 'Soul Caliber 2' on my Game Cube, I happened to get the feeling I was being watched...It might have just been the power of suggestion, but I decided I was going to go to bed. I felt uncomfortable being up alone, like something unseen was lurking in the dark corners and hallways of my house.
Now, I know what you're thinking. 'Mecuniv, Daughter of the Twilight, afraid of the dark?'
Well, it's not so much that I was afraid of the dark, but rather, I was afraid of the unknown, of what lurked in the dark. I don't exactly like having the feeling someone is in the room, but being unable to confirm it by sight.
It wasn't till I had rushed to my room and crawled in bed that I realized that it was nearly what we like to call 'dead time' (3 AM). This is the time that spirits are supposed to be the most active, most likely due to the fact everything is still and quiet.
I found it even harder to sleep; I began to feel sensations, almost like my bed was rocking side to side, like a boat. No doubt the spirits were playing tricks on me, our's are known to be mischievous, often leaving lights on when we are certain we turned them off, or moving things where we did not leave them.
All in all, it was a rather strange happening last night. Perhaps it was merely the fact that I was tired. Or perhaps it was something involving the other world...
