From the Town Square
POSTED: October 15, 2001 by Dana

About a year ago my sister was painting her room, I had been gone for the week and she decided to sleep in my room (because of the paint fumes). She woke up in the middle of the night because of a rain storm. She spent a few minutes looking out the window and when she turned around she saw something in the hall. She describes it as a small man standing in the hall very close to my door. She did not see the face but was very sure that the figure was a human shape. He was just standing there, after a few minutes (which she says felt like an eternity) he began to lift his arm and point at her. She says that she's sure it was not something in the hall that just looked like the shape of a person, because it was moving the way a person would if they were holding up their arm. She was so scared (and my sister is not one to scare easily) that she covered her face and hours later fell back to sleep.

I have never seen the figure but I have always felt a presence in my house. I've heard whistling in the hall in front of my room and many other things have happened in my house. But lately I've been waking up in the middle of the night feeling like there is someone in my room. I haven't seen anything but I still have the feeling there is someone there.

I would love it if anyone had any suggestions as to what it might be. Thanks.
