Once i was at my gramas house. her backyard is about 1 acre. i stayed in my dads room that night. i stayed up real late. at about 1:00 the dog started 2 bark. i went outside 2 see what he was barking at. there was a man across the canal. he told me he was just gonna go to get money out of the atm. (the atm machine is right in back of the canal) i went back inside the house.( by the way i just put my cup down right now and it moved across the desk)anyway i heard the dog bark again so i went outside. it was the same man. so i went inside again. once again the dog was barking so i was gonna tell the man to please stop walking past the dog so i could get some sleep. when i went outside the man wasnt there and the dog was lokking in the canal. by the way the canal doesnt have water in it ne more. i lokked in the canal and there was a little boy. he looked about 7 or 8. i told him to go home because it was 2 late 4 him 2 be outside. he said, que? which means what in spanish. i said go home in spanish. he ran down the canal and dissapeared all of a sudden when heh was running. i got soo0o0o0o0o0o freaked out i was ran toward the house. then i heard something in the tree i looked up and it was the little boy. i ran as fast as a bullet to my dads room and pulled the blanket over my head. this was my first encounter with a ghost or spirit. this happened in brownsville,texas across the street from the hospital.
