Hiding From a Ghost
Rate this encounter:
Nathan and Matthew - Strongsville, Ohio - January 3, 2009
Matthew: I was watching TV this night. I noticed a noise dragging outside of
the house. I looked over to my friend, Nathan and asked, "Do you hear that
dragging noise?" He answered, "Yeah." Nathan grabbed a bat and wooden sword.
He threw me the wooden sword, and then he cursed the "person" making the
noise and said, "I'll bust your head open if you come in here." I grabbed my
BB gun and loaded it to the max. Also, I grabbed the remote for the TV. I
turned off the TV. We looked outside and we saw something. At the right-hand
corner of the window I saw a white face. The face was just staring at me. I
felt like it was trying to connect with me. Then I felt scared. I felt like
I was about to die. I turned on the TV and the face was gone. I began to cry
for no reason, and I felt something crawling in me and turning my body
inside out. Me and Nathan felt the same thing, but Nathan felt it a lot
faster than me.
Since my BB gun was loaded, I went to shoot my hand. The spirit drained me
of my power until I couldn't pull the trigger. We started feeling aches and
pains going through our body rapidly. Exactly at 5:00 AM, the aches and
pains stopped. We held my wooden sword up as a cross, because we were so
scared. Then we considered five our lucky number. We went under our covers
and hid. We eventually showed our heads above the blankets at 5:55 AM (our
lucky number's five). The rest of the time was spent typing this.
Nathan: me and my cousin's stories differ a small deal. It was maybe 1:00 in
the morning and we were arguing about a rubber band ball war. We had settled
down for awhile. Matthew looked at me and said, "Did you hear that dragging
noise?" I answered, "Yes," I grabbed my bat and wooden sword, and threw
Matthew my wooden sword. I cursed the "person" and said, "If you come in
here, I'll bust you open." But that person we later found out was a ghost.
Scared half to death to even look at the window, we went under our covers.
My cousin held up the wooden sword as a cross in faith that it would give us
protection, but several minutes before 5:00, the aches and pains coursed
through our bodies. At 5:00, the pains and aches stopped. Half crying for
forgiveness of the soul, I came up from under the covers. I couldn't see the
ghost we had seen earlier in the night. As the night progressed the ghost
had "vanished." I will never forget the experience I had this night. I will
never forget it, and neither will mu cousin.
