A Night Long Ago, But Well Remembered.

When I was in high school, my sister and I used to share a bedroom. We had bunkbeds. My sister slept on the top and I on the bottom. One particular night, we had laid in our beds to sleep and after a few minutes of conversation, we finally became quiet and started to fall into sleep. I was the first stages of sleep when I realized that it felt as though something was hovering over the whole length of my body. It took me a moment to realize that this wasn't supposed to be happening. When I opened my eyes, I saw a black shadow hovering over me. It was blacker than the night of the room. I quickly sat up and it left. I started chanting in a whisper "Oh my god, Oh my god" Moments later I heard my sister sit up and say "Oh my god" She had seen it too! She stuck her hand through the space between the bed and wall and I grabbed it. We both fell back asleep shortly. The next morning when we woke for school, I got out of bed and looked at my sister. I simply said: "Did that happen?" She looked at me and without hesitation, replied "Yes". Then we actually spoke of the details. She said she didn't feel anything, but after she heard me startle awake, she saw the black shadowy figure along the wall before it quickly disappeared. After that experience, others followed. Weird little things like the light turning off on me and such. My family had lived in that house for 7 or 8 years before anything began to happen. The unexplainable things only really happened directly to me. No one else in the house had any experiences, except my sister who witnessed the story above.

I had always been interested in ghosts/hauntings, but had some doubts about whether or not I believed these things actually happened to people. After that, I fully believed it was possible.
