I was about 7, sleeping at my brothers house. It was big and old, as with many houses in ballarat. I shared a bed with my brother because he had not other beds yet.

I woke up, i don't know wht time it was, but I looked over at a caine chair sitting in the corner of the room. I saw a dark figure sitting in it, i remember rubbing my eyes. The figure slowly got up and it grew closer....it didn't have any legs that i could make out but it grew closer, and just as it reached the end of the bed i covered my head with the blanket. Then i must of fallen asleep. It was not a dream because it was very viid, i remember the cold, the details of the room.

A few weeks later i remember hearing my brother talking about the house to my mother and he talked about figures in the house, people being locked inside rooms, Drops of water seemingly falling to the floor, but nothing was there. Gunshots at 3 in the morning, the dog barking....A cat meowing at the corner of the room, and the kettle boiling without any heat. Needless to say i was a little freaked.

It was my first experience with the paranormal, and it wasn't my last.
