A spooky pea!
So, I think I may have posted this a while back, but I can't be arsedd to check, so I will post it again. Sitting comfortably? Good. I will recount what was, at the time, a very frightening and upsetting period of my life.

Disclaimer: all the events that take place are accurate representations of my experience at the time, events have since transpired to change my perspective of these events.

I'll start by setting the scene, I was a 13-14 year old boy at the time, it was the year 2000 and I was living with my parents in a house that would have been about 7 years old at this point, we built it our selves. The land we built it on was once a home for children with TB.

Ok so, to start the story in earnest: My school had just had an inset day, a day off that my friends and I used to play a game of indoor football. (I don't like football, but the games were silly and fun.) After the game, a few of the lads came to my house and ran riot, we messed around and made a big mess, though they left giving me time to clean the house before my parents got home. As I was cleaning, I walked through the hall, alone in a silent house, I heard a child's voice, much younger then any of my friends, call my name. It came from upstairs, so I went to investigate. I found nobody was there, no tv's or radios were on, no one was in the street. It was freaky, but I shrugged it off.

Over the next few weeks, little things began to happen, rooms going cold despite full heating, the feeling of being watched and movment caught in the conrer of my eye. It was very unsettling, I was the only one who seemed to notice and any one I spoke to about it laughed. I was a member of a videogame forum at the time, people there were less judging, a few even linked me to ghost information sites, which made me feel less crazy, but made me pick up on more paranormal activity.

The most disturbing event was on rememberence day, I felt unbelievably depressed, almost suicidal, and I had no idea why. I remember thinking how I had nothing to be sad about, yet I felt like dying. It freaked me out, but the next day I was back to normal.

Events came to a head a few nights later, I was in bed, about to drift of to sleep when my vision clouded over. A blue figure emerged, a little girl, she was in a dress and bonnet, she looked about 5 or 6. She floats toward me slightly, totally indifferent to me, when all of a sudden, she shoots forward, arms ourstreached and shouts "Boo!". I felt a jolt where she had colided with me but then she was gone. I was terrified, but decided to talk. "Hello?" I whispered. "Any one there?" no reply. I was feeling stupid but I had to try and make contact. "If anyone's there please give me a sign." I asked. I wait a few heartbeats then felt anouther jolt in my leg. I touched where the jolt had been and it was ice cold. I was convinced this was the real deal, yet suddenly, I wasn't afraid, I felt like what ever it was in the room with me that was frightened. "Are you afraid? You shouldn't be, I'm not angry with you, I'd like to be your friend." as I said the words, I felt an overwhelming sense of warmth and happiness. I quickly fell asleep, some how knowing she was gone. I have never felt anything since.

In the years that followed, I've experienced the odd auditry hallucination, dreams while drifting off that made me jolt from an impact and days when I have unexplained depression. I feel like I can explain the events as my imagination mixed with my generally twitchy body and messed up nerves. Part of me is sad to let it go.

So there you are, I hope you enjoyed reading it.
