Ghost Stories

So, taking a break from the running talk today. This morning I listened to the "Anything Ghost Show" podcast (Thanks Christy for the recommendation!) and it put me in the mood for Halloween. :)

I loooove scary movies and being creeped out - kinda. My imagination totally runs away and sometimes I totally end up scaring myself. After seeing Paranormal Activity, I made Tom stay at my apartment for a week straight (this was obv. before we moved in together.)

Here is my "sorta" ghost story...

So about four years ago I was going through a rough patch in life. I was very depressed and there were a lot of external factors stressing me out. Just not in a good place at all.

For a period of about a week or so, I had the craziest experience. It happened on three separate occasions. I would wake up in the middle of the night and see this mass/creature/outline of something standing by my bed. Still half asleep I would start to get really nervous/scared and blink my eyes a few times and it would disappear. And i would immediately fall back asleep.

The last time it happened, it was the worst. I woke up that morning and saw my pillow laying across the room. I was really confused at first and then it came rushing back to me: i saw the "thing" again by my bed, but this time it was much closer and I felt much more threatened. I screamed and threw my pillow at it and fell back asleep.

That was the last time and it hasn't happened since. Creepy, huh??

Any good ghost stories to share?
