Face In The Window
We had just moved into our new 19th-century Victorian home in the middle of June. We were unpacking all day, and by the evening, everyone was so tired they could barely walk. It was about 11:00 PM, and I went to the room that I shared with my sister to collapse into bed. I fell asleep right away.
Something woke me up at around 3:00 AM. I heard a knock on the window, and my heart began to pound. I tried to wake my sister, but she is a very heavy sleeper and would not stir.
I hid under the covers and fell asleep again, but woke up an hour later. All of a sudden I heard distinct voices coming from everywhere. I felt a great dizziness consuming my head and blacked out, seemingly for no reason. As I fell into the welcoming darkness, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a bloody face hovering at the window.
Though I have no explanation, nor did I see the face again, I will always remember that night.
