The Haunting

We all know Casper, but my encounter last night was a little less than friendly...
Due to jet lag, I fell asleep around 9 p.m. England time. I was awakened suddenly, and my room was pitch black, so I assumed I had slept a good portion through the night. I looked around to see if my roommates had gone out or not. I rolled over to see if Meg was asleep, and I saw two bodies in her bed! I automatically thought Courtney was in the bed with Meg, but I had no idea why. I sat up to get a closer look, and I saw this ghastly figure staring point blank at me in the face. This death stare disabled me from moving. The figure was gnarled in the sheets of Meg's bed. It had pale skin, light eyes, dark flowing hair, and it was wearing something with a white collar, similar to the collar of a school girl's uniform. The fingers this creature possessed were the creepiest part of its opaque anatomy. Long and wispy, they were stroking my friend Meghan as she slept. The thing stared at me with the stone cold eyes and was taunting me with a sound, a mix between a hiss and an evil laugh. I whispered Megan’s name, but received no response from her. I tried to reach for the lamp on my bedside table, but was unable to unlock the gaze with this supernatural being. Finally, I screamed, “MEGAHN!” At this point, I was clutching my pillow ready to attack, but did not know what to do. One final time, I yelled, “MEGHAN!” She woke up, flicked the light on and the ghost evaporated.

Courtney woke up, she was startled and confused. Dakota slept through the entire episode.

Anyone who knows me would be able to vouch for me when I say that I am not a big believer in the supernatural. Meghan believed me only because she saw my frightened face and my reaction to the situation. She knew I was not dreaming because I was wide awake.

We slept, barely, with the lights on last night.
