I'll start from the start, in late 2002 or early 2003 (i cant exactly remember) my family had been cleaning out our garage and shed, and before we could get rid of any of the rubbish, we just had a HUGE rubbish dump at the back of the backyard. It was filled with all of our old stuff piled on top of each other.

My little brother who was only about 4 years old at the time and me being around 7 years old, we would play on the dump pile. Just like runnning around in it playing hide and seek and what not.

Then one day we were on top of it, at the back tho.

Now before I tell you the weird part of this day, i need not to leave out somthing. On the dump pile at the left side at the back was the plastic roof to our old cubby house. It was placed on the side of the dump as a ramp.

So anyways, i was doing somthing (can't remember what tho) then my brother called me and said "catch!" he then threw an old record at me, it cut me from the bottom of my nose up toward my left eye (right from my view) it cut me real bad. With out doing anything, i screamed and started to run towards the roof ramp. In the corner of my good eye, I saw a tall dark figure on the ground staring at me.

But because I was in so much pain I just ran down the ramp and into the house. As I called my dad and he washed my eye and put a bandaid across my eye. It finaly hit me of what I had just seen.

I was still in pain and crying but I was still thinking about it. I then started to think strait on it, this is the best discription I could give myself for it.

It was just about 1 metre away from where I ran down the ramp. It was pretty tall, it was black. It was just a little transparent, it floated about 8 intches above the ground and it looked as if it was wearing a black coat. Or jacket.

But the strange thing is, that happened back then, now it is July 2008 and I have only just remember that part now. I have always remember what happened to my eye, but as I was thinking about paranormal things, I just remembered about that thing.

If anyone knows what I could have seen, please email me.
