GHOST #1
The first supernatural thing I've ever seen was when I was a little boy. My upstairs bedroom had no door and looked down a staircase that connected the first and second floors. It was at night and something woke me up. I looked down the stairs and saw a white translucent figure come up the stairs. At first I thought it was my grandmother, then it looked my mother. It was definitely a woman. I called out, 'mom?" and it "evaporated". It was interesting because first I saw and recognized it as a sort of living human person or figure. A second later I realized it was white and translucent. I went back to bed feeling confused and a little puzzled. It did not frighten me because I was little and had no idea what ghosts were. Actually I remember believing it was an angel, now of course, I realize it may have been but the likeliood is that it was a spirit at best or ghost at worse.

When I was 24, I saw shadow person (shadowy ghost). The first one I saw was one that use to move across the kitchen at a house I shared with several friends. All of us living there had seen it at one time or another. It was a little eerie, but It only creeped me out because I was the only one home at the time. Besides, it was not distinct enough and I was able to dismiss it more than beleive it.

The second shadow person was when I was 35. This one really creeped me out because it was distinct. Definitely human form, definitely moving, definitiely a ghost. I I was sitting up late in the living room reading and I saw a shadow of a person that went from the bathroom to the kitchen. I thought it was my ex-boyfriend getting up, but when I went to check on him he was sound sleeping. When I looked out the dining room window I realized that all of the neighbors were asleep and that it was 3 a.m. I still gives me chills as I remember it and while writing this post.
