Ghost in the Attic

Hello, this is a true occurance of what I believe is a ghost story!

Well I was staying at a friends house and was 18 years old at the time. The upstairs used to be an Attic but now held two bedrooms and a bathroom.

It was around 10.30 pm when I decided to go to bed. My friends bedroom was straight opposite from mine and the bathroom was attached to my bedroom but with seperate doors. As I was closing the blinds to the two little windows, I had an aweful sense of being watched. I ignored this as I had never stayed at my friends house before and did not want to frighten myself.

I proceeded to go to sleep. In the nightime I awoke to see what I can only describe as a big rimmed black hat by the opposite wall. Well I was still half a sleep so decided it best to close my eyes and to not think anything of it. Nothing else happened until about 7.30 in the morning. I started to wake up with the sensation of someones hand next to my shoulder on the bed being pressed down (you know if someone was leaning over you to see if you are awake). Well that is exactly what I felt. I came round (I was facing the wall) and immediateley thought it was my friend's mother leaning over me to see if I was awake.

Now the bed covers around my shoulder was very tight so I was not imagining it. I then felt a face looking straight at mine and I opened my eyes and said "Morning Sarah" (my friend's mom) to find noone there! I sat right up and looked around the bedroom. Suddenly I knew something was not right. Someone was standing right next to me walking with me by my side while I was desperately trying to get dressed.

I looked at myself in the mirror that was hanging on the wall and could feel someones face staring straight back at me but could not see a thing. I went into the bathroom to try and calm myself down but whatever it was followed me. I lept into the bedroom grabbed my bag and ran down the stairs straight into the kitchen, where my friend's mom was making tea.

She looked at me and said "Good Morning, are you alright? It looks like you have seen a ghost". I told her what had happended and she did not really react at all and said "Yes I know, a lot of strange things have happened here".

Great, thanks for telling me! Well you have probably guessed I never stayed there again. But I will tell you that they had someone over to tell them who was there and they said that an old woman had drowned in the river at the back of their house. CREEPY!

Thanks for listening to my true story.

My bedroom had been closed all night and I had not been out of my bed.
