My name is Rage (Yes that is my real name). I am fifteen years old, and have lived in New Orleans my whole life. Down here ghost stories are not rare, and nobody thinks you are insane. Unfortunately nobody believes that what I saw was not a ghost.

I was sitting at the computer late on night (probley doing homework), and I looked up towards the corner of the room. There he was standing just staring back at me. At first I thought it was a ghost, and I went back to my work. When I looked up he was only three feet away from me! He was black, and solid looking. Not translucent like your average ghost. He had no features, but I could tell he was looking at me. When I turned the lamp by the computer on, he flickered and vanished. That was the first time but not the last.

The second, and third times, he did not seem as intrigued with me (it is possible that he was mad at me for turning the light on) He flew across my living room at great speed, stopping to glace at me, then he would continue on his way. I saw him once in the hallway, he just went by me. He was gone by the time I blinked.

All together I have seen him four times. On the fourth and last time, I was sleeping in my room, when I suddenly jolted awake. He was standing in my doorway. Then he went down the stairs slowly, as if he wanted me to be able to keep up. When I got down stairs I smelt smoke! The living room was on fire! I quickly woke everyone up, and we got out safely. I've never seen him again or anything like him. I know he was not an angel, but I did not know what he was until I came across the name 'Shadow People'.
