Haunted Forever

It was late, almost 11:30. I was sleeping in my older sister's room because I was scared of the dark (I was 8/9 years old). I cuddled up to my sister and tried to get to sleep. The landing light was on and I kept staring outside the door, I thought I could see a shadow every time I blinked.

I nudged my sister to wake her up, at that moment I suddenly heard a voice in my head. I don't know what it was saying! Whatever it was I couldn't understand. It was mumbling something, a name I think. I started screaming and crying "make it stop make it stop they won't leave me alone!"

My sister looked scared and tried to calm me down. When I looked at the landing again there was figure, a dark figure. I could just make out it was a man, he had a grin on his face. I hugged my sister as I called for my mum. My sister grabbed my arm and pulled me down the stairs to my mum's bedroom (we have a 4-story house).

I cuddled up to my mum as she wiped my tears. Ever since I have been able to see and talk to ghosts. Of course I have been scared I am just used to it now but I will never forget the grin on that mans face... ever!!!
