I was only 13 at the time of this incident. I live at the far end of my house on the back part of our property. It was about 11:00 at night when my mom said it was time for bed. We went through the usual good night routine and then I went to bed. I feel asleep quite fast. At about 1:00 in the morning i was awoken by a jolt. It felt as though someone had just tried to push me off my bed. Then i noticed my bedroom door was open. I thought this odd because i never sleep with my door open. The next thing i herd was a voice. It only said one word. "look". I looked out my door and i herd the faucet turn on. I don't know how but it just did. I thought ok that is weird. I got up and turned the faucet off. I lay back in my bed and go to sleep. Just as i nod off i am jolted awake a little for roughly this time. A deep voice said "LOOK". This time i saw something else. It was in the mirror. A woman standing their with a razor. She looked in the mirror and then at the faucet. She turned the water on and then used the razor to slit her throat. I started to cry. I closed my eyes and then opened them again. The lady was gone and the water was off. I decided to go do some research on our house. I went to the library and started reading up on our block. Turns out there use to be a different house on our property but the bathrooms were in almost the same place. I also read that their was once a young woman who lived in this house with her two children. The children disappeared one day and the mother was found in the bathroom with her throat slit. This is TRUE.
