Come out wherever You are
Something strangehapenned to me when I was about 6 yrs. old. I'd like to think (andhad been trying to convince myself for many years) that I wasvery young and it probably didn't really happen - but - I know itdid.
Growing up my family lived in a three story house in Wallingford,CT. The ground floor was a rec room, the middle story was theliving area and kitchen and the top story had three bedrooms anda bathroom. (By the way, I don't know the history of the houseexcept it wasn't very old - this hapenned in 1976 - I think thehouse may have been 10 yrs. old at the time)
Anyway, it was a big house and me, being so little, always feltlike the house was creepy. My sister and I shared a bedroom. Onenight I woke up and sat up directly out of a deep sleep. Iremember sitting there and thinking about why I woke up. All of asudden I had a horrible feeling come over me like something wasin the hall looking at me and I swear I literally startingshaking (it was that awful of a feeling). I remember actuallypinching my arm to make sure I was awake - and I was! A womensvoice came from the hall and said "Come out, come outwherever you are". I sat terrified in my bed for what seemedto be an hr. or so until I finally felt the presence leave. Inever told anyone that for fear of being thought of as crazy -but - this past Christmas my family got together and we weretalking about growing up and we got on the subject of that house.I finally (after a few eggnogs) decided to tell the story of thatnight - before I could finish, my sister joined in and said"I thought I was the only one who heard that!" - I am36 yrs. old now, my sister 38 and just now found out we bothheard the exact same thing that night. - No the television wasn'ton - everyone was in bed.
