The night was dark and eerie giving off a cold chill that only winter could bare. Bundled up with blankets snuggling in warmth, my head lay flat on the fluffy pillow. Tossing and turning it was past midnight. I grew restless with the urge to drift off to sleep. The house was quiet and completely still. My eyes were widened, and mind bright with thoughts. The bedroom door was open wide enough for me to see into the dinning room and kitchen. As I wandered off into the space of my sleeplessness an image caught my eye. Narrowing my eyes then opening them as far as they would stretch, I could not believe what I saw standing in the center of the dark misty kitchen. A young woman with white skin and long damp curly hair stood erect glaring at me. She wore a long cream-colored night-gown with long sleeves and ruffles around the edges of the garment. Her bare feet clung to the floor tiles. My heart raced as we looked at each other. The ghostly apparition frightened me so much that I held my breath for several seconds that seemed to have lasted for several minutes. I continued to lay in my bed frozen solid by fear. Still in shock over the sight I tried to convince myself that no one was there. I blinked a couple of times to see if the image had gone but she was still there. I then slowly lifted my body up in an attempt to wrestle out from under the covers. I didn’t even know what I was planning to do. The second I turned my head to release myself from the tangle of blankets, I noticed the girl had vanished when I refocused my attention in the direction she was standing in. Without much effort I plopped down in my position and closed my eyes. This time I had no trouble falling asleep.
This paranormal encounter is based on real events that happened to me about two years ago.
My husband and mother in law were the only other people in the house and they were asleep.
