I saw a ghost at my aunties house in Queensland AustraliaMy auntie lives in a type of house called a 'queenslander' wich bassically means it is one of the very first houses built in the Queensland area, generally they have tin rooves and big verandas around them and are quite grand. Anyways I was staying at my aunts one christmas just after she had bought the house, I was about 16yrs old. My aunt gave me what she called her 'craft room' to sleep in. It was a really small room with a big cubbord full of art suppies and a bed. I went to bed and I woke up at 12pm I know this because my aunty has this big wooden chime clock and I counted the strokes. It was really weird because I sort of felt a presence in the room like there was somebody ealse there. I looked over into the corner and next to the cubbord was this huge black shadow in a sort of humanoid form. I switched the bedside lamp on and the shadow disappeared. And then my bed beggan to shake like sort of vibrate. I was completely freaking out but I was too scared to scream, just at that point the big wooden clock struck twelve again and everything stopped and went quiet. I dident tell anyone the next day because I was a bit ashamed, I had always thouht of myself as a very logical person and not really someone who would ever belive in ghosts. I left the house the next day. Strangely enough I went to visit my aunt the next year and she put me in exactly the same room. I was too embarresed to ask for another room plus in the daylight the room dident seem that scary, a little bit musty yes but not the haunt of a ghost. So I went to sleep and strangely enough I woke up in the middel of the night with the same feeling that someone was in the room, at that point the door opened all by its self. Like the other time when the clock struck 12 the feeling went away and I went back to sleep.
