When I was in junior high I saw a ghost (c.1987). My friend Mike was staying the night. It was getting to be after midnight and we were still awake playing nintendo, having fun. I went upstairs to get us each a late night bowl of cereal. Mike stayed downstairs in my room waiting. I had retreived the cereal and was heading out of the kitchen with a bowl in each hand. From this vantage point I could clearly see the stairs which led down to my room. On the stairs I saw the ghostly image of a man crawling up them as if he was hurt. It startled me and I froze immediately staring. He obviously knew I was there also or felt he was being watched because he now stopped crawling up the stairs. He slowly turned his head to look at me and as our eyes were about to meet it faded away. It took me a minute to get the guts to down those stairs back to my room, but my friend was waiting for me. I finally made it safely to my room. I tried to act like nothing happened at first but could not contain myself. I then told my friend what I had seen on the stairs. He was shocked and said he thought he had seen a ghost moving through the living area outside of my room headed for the stairs while I was getting the cereal.
