i was in my house doin homework alone a few years ago, and i heard some footsteps so i assumed my parents had come home......when i went to investigate no one was there. i then went back to my homework i heard a car and then a car door shutting so i went to investigate again i still saw nothing. i went around to the front there were no cars in the driveway so i figured maybe the neighbours had just arrived. i looked into their driveway no car.....i then just ignored it and went back to my homework ...after my homework was finished i decided to go to bed a coupel hours passed i woke up at 3:00 in the morning only to hear some sniffling sounds as if someone was crying. i looked over at my sister's bed ( we share the same room) she was there sleeping......i got up to see if maybe she was just pretending to sleep so i wuddnt hear her crying. when i went and looked at her she was fast asleep i tried to wake her up but nothing .....i started hearing the crying again i noticed it was coming from the closet.....i didnt want to open the closet but i did anyways.....as i slowly opened the door i saw a dark figure(it looked like a little child) in the corner it slowly got up reached its hand out to me and quickly vanished...... i was so scared that i dint move for about five minutes. when i finally was able to move i ran into my bed pulled the covers over my head and stayed awake the rest fo the night listening to see if the child would come bakc or not but frankly i was just too scared to go to sleep!
