When I was little I would constantly see "shadow people". I mean this is when I was very young, and still I might see something in the corner of my eye but it's nothing like when I was little. They would hide in the house like in the corners, between vacuums and anywhere they could fit. I can't remember much except they were like black figures, just like an outline, can't remember that they had details. Kind of reminds me of that guy on those neighborhood watch signs, the guy with the hat and trenchcoat. They were like supernatural ninjas! When I was little, I remember I would just stare at them but they never bothered me.
The first time I can remember seeing a 'ghost', like a full body apparition was when I was about...well, I can't remember, I was maybe like 10ish, give or take a few years. Anyway I was always into the paranormal while I was growing up, even now I am still really interested in. I grew up with family stories and my grandmother's house is ridiculously haunted that I have too many stories to tell (most of the family stories come from that house, the one my dad and his brothers and sisters grew up in when they first moved to the States in the 70s). Anyway, the apartments we lived in at that time were very haunted. I saw things, my brothers did, my dad did and my best friend who lived across the street in the apartments too, both our apartments were haunted.
Well, usually during the night when one of us had to use the bathroom we would wake the other up to come along, just for company because the bathroom was the scariest place, you just got a creepy feeling in there. I was spending the night, and we were like usual sleeping on the floor in the living room and she woke me up in the middle of the night, like 3 AM and said she was going to the bathroom. The odd thing is she didn't ask me to come with her and I didn't which is really weird but it didn't seem so at the time. I was sitting up just waiting for her and like glancing into the TV to see the reflections behind me because in the hall way the first thing was the bathroom and then down the hall were the bedrooms. Well my friend was in the bathroom and I for some reason had the urge to turn around and saw a girl staring back at me. She had an old dress, white, possibly Victorian or something, with like a ruffle patch and her hair was jet black. She vanished and I vaguely remember holding onto my bear and telling myself there wasn't anyone there. As soon as that happened my friend came out of the bathroom and she had no idea, lol. I couldn't wait to tell her, it was so exciting.
