While doing a student film, I think I saw a ghost, that is all. The script was written by a woman whose sister committed suicide.

On the last day of filming, both the woman who wrote the script about her sister"s suicide and the actor playing the sister in quiestion felt an eerie presence. I didn"t know about this; it was my first big student film and I just thought emotions were running high.In any case, I went off to try and sleep at the end of the day.

My two roommates were out, so when I heard someone coming down the hall, I figured it was one of them. It turned out that it was a girl, and she was acting kind of silly, as if about to sneek up and goose me. The person left back up the hall, so I thought I would retaliate by sneeking back up the hall. When I got to the room of the two people I thought it was, they were crying because they thought that the sister"s presence had been with the film all day, and that they hadn"t just went down the hall. Opon seeing a picture of the sister, see could have easily fit the description and demeaner of what I saw.

For the critics - I don"t think I was being fooled, because the wounds of the suicide was still being felt and the ladies that night were in no mood for tomfoolery.

As for what I saw, I would have to say it was more like an overall sensation of being there that I saw the figure. I nver saw it head on; it was more like when you see someone out of the corner of your eye, where there is perception but not quite the full detail of everyday reality.
