Before i share my story with you, i would just like you to know, i have never been on one of these websites before. I know everyone says it.. but i am not a ghost believer, i am not strange, nor a drama queen. This really happened to me.. make of it what you will.

I was studying in my 1st year at University. The old part of the building is listed as one of England's most haunted buildings, and walking through there, there is often a strange feeling and a slight chill, but i've never thought much of it. Where i was living on campus was situated away from the old part anyway. It was only 13 years old, and every year about 70 students had occupied the rooms. One ordinary night, i went to bed and began to close my eyes. My friends were all still out at a concert, and i was waiting for my boyfriend to come back. Being very tired, i let my eyes close. I felt a kind of un-easiness, a mixed fear, but yet looking at my surroundings, i had no way of explaining this feeling. I eventually drifted off. During my sleep i had one of the most terrifying nightmares that i have ever experienced. I have always slept walked on occasion, and do not know if i was dreaming, or if it was real, as often in my mind, the realms of sleep and reality often cross. I dreamt i was terrified. I was trying to escape something evil. I opened my door and looked down the corridoor. I cannot explain the entire dream, it was more the feeling, which i also cannot fully explain. I woke up, bolted in bed, my back stiffened to support my nerves. Still half asleep, covered in a cold sweat, my heart began to pound as i looked around the room. I can't explain it, but there was something there. I don't believe in ghosts as such (as i have stated earlier) but there was a eerie presence, a feeling i was being watched, and i will never forget it.

Moments later i was pulsed straight back into reality when my phone beeped. It was my boyfriend back from the concert. When he came into the room, my eyes filled with tears from the terror and i grabbed onto him tightly. I sleep in his room that night, away from the evil presence. When walking along the corridoors to get to his room, i bumped into Amy, the girl who lives opposite me. "are you ok?" she said. "Yeah.. i just had a really creepy dream and cant stay in my room tonight". "God.. i know!" she said. "i had just fallen asleep, when i had a terrible nightmare. I bolted up right and could feel something watching me.. silly i know" Amy said.
