Dorm Room Entity

My first night at college and I didn't have a room mate. "Great." I thought. All her stuff was there but she just hadn't arrived yet. I didn't know anyone at the school and I was forced to stay confined in my dorm room for the night as I'm kind of shy.

So I was reading with my head at the foot of the bed and I saw something coming out of the bathroom. Just out of the corner of my eye but it was definitely something. It was in the form of a big and tall man with long dark hair and that was all I could make out in my periferals. I sat up and saw nothing. A little shaken I walked out into the lobby to ask the front desk if my room mate had come early and I just didn't know. After telling me that she wouldn't be arriving until the next day I went to bed.

Time went on and I started to notice a lot of other things happening around me in the dorm room. For instance, I was laying down one day trying to rest after a hard day of classes and I kept hearing things being moved around in the bathroom. But when I checked it out nothing had been moved. So I brushed it off as the dorm room next to me.

After a little more time the girl with the adjoining dorm room and I had become friends. She was cleaning her room and I was alone for the weekend so we opened the doors to the 'common room' that connected our rooms so we wouldn't be so lonely. I was playing on the computer and she was cleaning her room and I heard someone say "Shut up." I thought maybe she was on the phone arguing with her boyfriend and she wasn't. I asked her if she was mad at me and she said she was going to ask me the same thing. It sort of weirded us out but what could we do?

Changing rooms was not an option. Until I was getting ready to go on a date with a boy I had met in the lunch room. We had gotten accustomed to talking over a messenger service online even though he lived in the boys dorms right next to mine. I was telling him to come over when I felt something grab my sides. I jumped a foot in the air and spun around thinking my suite-mate had come in trying to scare me.

By that time I'd had enough. I marched up to the Hall Manager and asked her if she'd heard any of the girls talking about ghosts. It was then that she told me that they had had a priest come in and bless the dorms on a previous occasion. But I never had the nerve to ask her which rooms they blessed.
