SINGLE ENCOUNTER-My house was being remodeled, and when it came time to do my bedroom I decided rather than too sleep elsewhere, that I would spend the night in my parent's new house.

I arrived late in the evening and dinner had already been served so, I unpacked, and went to the refrigerator to warm something up. My father was in the kitchen and he was talking to a friend of his about the bedroom I was sleeping in. Apparently it had some water damage on the ceiling and it needed some repairs. I thought light of this until later on after I had ate, and was trying to drift to sleep.

I was awaken by a dripping on my face, thinking it was only the water damage they spoke of, I merely moved and put the extra pillow where the dripping was. About 2 minutes later I was awaken again by another dripping on my face. I sat there debating whether to move from my room or just sleep on a different part of the bed when I heard this short, quick, raspy, breathing sound in the corner of the room where the door was.

I quickly turned on the light to find a little boy about the age of 7 walking towards my bed. It was as if he was staring at the headboard of the bed with these icy blue eyes. In fact his entire body and clothes were in a shade of blue. His outfit appeared to be a sailor suit with a hat and scarf. He continued toward me his eyes still transfixed on the headboard. When he got to the foot of the bed he stopped and looked right into my eyes and literally began to walk through the bed! His eyes no longer looking in mine his head and body went downwards until his head was only visible as if he was walking down a staircase. Needless to say, when his head was no longer visible (it was like he was walking into water, my bed being the water) I ran out of the room and woke up my parents.

The next morning they began the repairs and tore up the old carpet. Under the carpet directly under my bed they found a cellar. Inside the cellar, they found a wooden rocking horse. Next to it was a sailor hat made for a child around the age of 7.
