Johnny is a ghost. The reason I know his name is kind of an odd story. My niece (at the time-2 yrs old), one day was looking at the window, laughing, my mother then asked her, "what are you laughing at", she then told my mom "Johnny say peek-a-boo." And it all started from there. We had asked her questions about Johnny like, who is he, how old is he, do you talk to him, even down to where he sleeps. The answer to that was he is a boy that is 3 and he plays with me and he sleeps in aunt ****(me) room. Yeah lucky me, I share a room with a GHOST!

I have personally had a few small incidents that could have been Johnny but they can be explained otherwise also. Like toys with dead batteries lighting up. The dryer door opening and clothes falling out. A baby toy you have to pull start making noise, etc. I believe in ghosts but would rather believe it was something else.

Well since then the rest of my family has moved out and we've fixed the place up. Its me, my 2 kids, and a roomate. And yes I'm still in the same room. I had hoped that Johnny had moved out also....but he didn't. My boyfriend has SEEN Johnny in my bedroom when were sleeping and has been TOUCHED by Johnny. I am highly doubting my boyfriend is crazy, hes a grown man and they dont have that great of imaginations. He tells me that in one night he felt someone tapping his arm as if to get his attention.

Then later, freaked out from that, he looks at my window (which has curtains closed and mini blinds behind it) and sees the sillowet of a small boy holding the curtain back and peeking through the blinds. Then about a week later (both kids sound asleep)(bedroom door shut) he hears bare footsteps running from one side of my bed to the other. Creepy! Now he doesnt even want to stay the night here because he is worried he will see "Johnny" again. Ive been sleeping in my kids room for the past few nights now because even though I know he is there, I dont want to see him.
