I once faked...
pretending that I hadn't noticed that the QOTW had changed, so I could post the tale of ghostlyness that just happened to me.

I'm a PhD student at leeds uni, and the university discounts my rent by a couple of grand a year for being a sub-warden, essentially I hang around during the semester and help the students out with their studenty problems (it's more twunts who lock themselves out of their room than anything interesting but meh.)

Now that the students have gone I have moved myself from my little flat on site into a great big old house (also part of the site) which the students have moved out of. It’s a nice old building which usually houses 16 students, so it’s pretty spacious for me on my own.

Just A few minutes ago I started to hear a gurgling noise coming from behind me as I was sitting at my computer watching downloaded House episodes. So I turned round and I saw a dark figure standing behind me looking down at me, my brain, not working properly, assumed it was one of my friends playing a joke or something so turned round further to tell them to grab a seat. Then I realised, I was not only alone in my room, I was the only person in the building, I had locked the whole place up earlier when I finished washing up. Then I noticed that their proportions were all weird, somehow wrong.

I shouted, I can't remember what, doubt it would have been something my nan would have a proved of, and spun round in my chair to address the grim specter. As I spun round I started laughing, turns out it was made of a combination of my jacket over the back of my sofa, and my new glasses with a much thicker arm bit than my old ones. Nearly gave me a heart attack.

The gurgling was a tap left on from when I washed an apple a few minutes ago.

Apologies for length, and for lack of cuddling afterwards, I'd had a shock...

chair
i was once freaked out when i woke up in the night and saw the silouette of a pile of clothes on my computer chair against the curtains. and was convinced that there was a little Saw style doll thing sat there looking at me.

i had to get up throw my duvet over my chair and turn the lights on and check the room over before i could go back to sleep.

See why you'd think that...
but actually I'm in Oxley. Not next year though, I get my shiny new flat in the town centre.
