The house I grew up in I believe was haunted. If you were to ask anyone who had been there they'd have some story about seeing shadows at the corner of their eye , or objects inexplicably moving , voices , etc. I'd had my fair share of paranormal experiences and there's only been one instance where I've actual seen a "ghost".
I was about 12 or 13 years old when this happened , my mom , my cousin , and I stayed up really late one night watching movies. Eventually , we had all passed out watching the movie and we ended up falling asleep with the TV left on.
I woke up very early that morning and I checked the digital alarm clock that my mom had set right next to her bed. I vividly remember seeing the time and it was just a few minutes before 6 in the morning. Which was true because the sun had just came up around this time.
After I checked the clock and looked outside the window and saw that the sun had just came up I turn my head while still lying in bed and I see this little girl staring at me. What I saw was really strange , she was around maybe 4-7 years old , she had jet black hair , very dark black eyes , and her clothes were very outdated. (Probably around the 1800's). I say it was strange because she really didn't have any pigmentation , her skin was really pale and grey. Almost like a corpse. What made it even more strange is that I couldn't really make out a face , or any legs , it was almost like she was just hovering over the ground as opposed to just standing. There she was , just staring at me , we made eye contact for about maybe 4-6 seconds , then suddenly she just vanished.
Surprisingly I wasn't all that scared. I think I was definitely more confused or put off by what I just witnessed. Immediately after that , I just went back to sleep. Till this very day , I enjoy telling that story to all of my friends and family and thought I'd share it here. I know not everyone believes in spirits/ ghosts , but I have no idea or have no explanation as to what happened that morning,. I'm sticking with the ghost until proven otherwise
The women in blue
This occurence happened when I was about 14 years old. I had been living with my parents and we lived in this house for about three years at that point. I was getting out of school and the bus dropped me off at my house. Around that time my parents were both working full time. I got home around 4 and my dad wouldn't get home until 5:30. During this time I would be taking care of my little brother. Well one day we were in the house and it felt off. It felt as if someone was watching us, I've always been told that if I hear a strange sound outside then I should go into my room and lock the doors and call one of my parents. Well I didn't hear anything but I saw something. I checked outside in order to see if someone came home. But instead I saw a pale women with a blue t shirt and blue Jean's wearing sandals and some sort of headband. She was just walking straight into my house.... now I don't mean through the door. I mean that she walked staright into the middle of my house... I know this is hard to believe and probably no one would believe me. But that is what I saw. After seeing that I put my brother in my parents room and went to go check if she was anywhere to be found. She was no where. It took me 16 seconds from the time I stopped looking at her to when I started again.... I called my dad and he came straight home. After that I never saw her again.
