Okay, I've read plenty about all these experiences people have had with ghosts, and I believe them too. Of course, I wouldn't even be believing in the supernatural if it wasn't for the experiences I had myself. 

We were having our house built out in the country, so while it was being built, we'd rented a house in a nearby town. The town was filled with ghost stories about all the old houses, and it was famous for one about the disappearance of the town's once-most-beautiful girl. 

So one day, my older sister and I were playing Nintendo in the front room when we looked up at the painting above the television. Red eyes were blinking back at us in an evil manner. My sister and I screamed and jumped up from the floor, our eyes wide staring at the painting. That's when the old rocking chair in the corner started rocking quickly and rapidly. My sister and I ran into my bedroom and locked the door behind us. We didn't have another ghostly experience in that house. 

We finally moved into our house in the country, and we lived there for about two years before renting a cottage at the beach for a week. The cottage was old and creepy, but my family loved it. I was a little uneasy in it. 

One night, I was sleeping in the bedroom that I shared with my sister when I woke up. I saw faint red dots on the window. I thought at first that it was just the lights of a fire truck from the station across the street, but then they came closer. And closer. And closer still, until they were in my bedroom. I screamed and jumped back on my bed. Then they disappeared. 

Ever since then, I've been interested in the supernatural, and I believe all of it except for all that UFO crap. I've only seen those eyes twice in my lifetime, and for some reason, I think it's going to come back once more, for three times.
