My friend, Lindsey, and I were home alone at my house. It was probably about 7:00 at night and we're 13. So we were playing on the computer when I heard what sounded like footsteps going down or up my stairs (I couldn't tell which) and the stairs are right by the door of my computer room. I decided to ignore because I thought it was my imagination. But then Lindsey took my arm and whispered," Did you hear that? The footsteps on the stairs?"

Lindsey and I love to get freaked out but this was a little too freaky. "Yes." was all I would say. "Wanna go check it out?" I said with a grin. After all, I still loved to get scared and I figured nothing would be at the top of my stairs. I creaked open the door and peered at my staircase. Nothing was there. My heart started to beat faster and faster. Lindsey and I walked close together and quietly started up the stairs. My bathroom has always freaked me out for some reason, and Lindsey is terrified of all bathrooms because of B-Mary (she won't let me say her name). Lindsey and I stood at the top of the stairs for a while. We shrugged it off. "Wanna do some hairstyles?" We loved playing with our hair and making new styles. "Sure," Lindsey said.

We went in the bathroom with lights turned on when Lindsey and I said at the same time "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!!!" We saw a face in the mirror. Not like it was actually in the mirror but like from my room. I can see the door of my room in my mirror and I saw a face for a brief second. Lindsey saw the same thing. We got really freaked out and ran down the stairs screaming and locked ourselves in the computer room, which for some unknown reason has always comforted us. We heard a few more strange noises during the hour we waited in the computer room, watching toddler shows to get out minds off anything scary. To this day, we have no idea what went on upstairs.
