The Wisp in the Window
Rate this encounter:
William, Oklahoma city, Oklahoma, 1977
When I was about 4 years old, my grandma and grandpa lived next to this
house which was abandoned. I remember my uncles and their friends partying
in this house. Anyways, as it turned out, that house actually was not lived
in. I found out many years later that the owner died in that house and he
wasn't found for like 2 or 3 weeks. But I didn't know this at the time
because I was 4 years old.
One day my uncle and I were out just walking and I remember walking behind
him about 5 to 10 feet away. We proceeded to walk on the north side of this
house where my uncles and them would enter the house through a living room
window. The house faced south. Anyways, I was just strolling behind my uncle
-- I remember this incident as though it happened yesterday -- I'm 34 years
old now. As my uncle proceeded past this window, I was walking by the same
window and for some reason, I can't remember why, but I stopped in front of
this window. As I was looking at this window I saw a white, smoky image come
up to the window. I remember seeing a face -- you could see where the eyes
and nose and mouth would be. I just stood there kind of in a hypnotized
state, then I remember seeing a hand motioning me toward it. And then it
said my name, like in a whispery voice. That's when I snapped out of
whatever trance I was in. I remember just being real scared. I ran and
jumped on my uncle's back and we both went to the ground. I was crying, and
my uncle had to carry me back to my grandma's house. I told him what I had
seen, and of course, there was nothing there when we walked past that window
again. This encounter probably lasted maybe 10 to 20 seconds, but I still
can remember what this thing looked like. I always wanted someone to draw it
up for me on paper. I don't think I will ever forget what this thing looked
like, or its voice.
That's my story, that's why I believe in ghosts.
