First Ghost Story on My Site

Brief, but very true. If you have any of these types of stories please submit for publication on my website. Thanks, enjoy!

8/14/2009: I thought I’d get the ball rolling with a story of my own which appears below:

This story isn’t strictly my own, but rather belongs to the sister of the co-creator of this website. The story was told to me one day over lunch at a little hole-in-the-wall diner on Long Island, and it scared the hell out of me. For the purpose of this story, I’ll call my friend “Jennifer” 

One afternoon, Jennifer and her daughter were home doing chores around the house. Jennifer’s daughter approached her mother, who was in the kitchen cleaning up. Upon tapping her mother on the shoulder, she inquired “Mommy, why is there a man sleeping in your bed?” Jennifer’s husband wasn’t home at the time, and no one else lived in the house.  

“What are you talking about?” Jennifer asked.  

            “There’s a man sleeping in your bed upstairs. I saw him.” Hearing the conviction in her daughter’s voice, Jennifer abandoned whatever she had been doing in the kitchen and rushed upstairs. Upon a careful inspection, she found there was no one in the bed.

A few weeks later, Jennifer’s brother was spending the night on the couch in the living room.  After waking the next day he approached Jennifer and asked “Who the hell kept walking around in the kitchen last night, it kept me up!”  Jennifer looked puzzled and told her brother that no one had been walking around downstairs.

A few weeks after that, Jennifer was sitting in the kitchen in the middle of the afternoon with a good friend. During a normal, unrelated conversation, both friends saw the image of some sort of specter appear as if from nowhere and float towards the front of the home. Each friend looked at each other to confirm they had both seen the same thing. 

That’s the short version of the story as it was told to me not long ago.
