My Ghostly Shadow
One night, I woke up in the middle of the night to see a blinking light on my bookcase. I thought that maybe the streetlight was acting up, so I sat up and turned toward the window on my left side. I saw what looked like a man in a black or dark brown monk's robe (or something that looked like a monk's robe) standing next to the window. The hood covered his face and it looked like the hand he had extended was covered with a dark glove. In the extended hand was what looked like a glowing orb, which was the source of the blinking light I had first noticed. The figure scared me; obviously, I could feel there was something wrong about this figure. I don't really know how or why, but after seeing the figure, I passed out. I woke up at the foot of my bed in the morning.
Another time, I had been taking a nap after a day of wandering outside when something woke me up. It felt like something was touching my hand, but when I tried to move, I couldn't. I could see a figure out of the corner of my eye, I felt a hand lift my head up, and the other that was touching my hand raised my hand up, the figure's hand under mine. I tried to move, but again I found that I couldn't. I also couldn't speak. Then everything went white, and I sat up on the bed and looked around. The figure was nowhere to be seen. I believe it was the same figure I had seen the other night.
I've tried to figure out who, or what, the figure is, but I've had no luck. I don't really know if it was a person who died on the land my house is on, or if it's some kind of "Angry Ghost" that terrorizes people. And I don't really know why it chose to follow me around either. No matter where I am, it's there. My friend has seen it, so I know it's not just a figment of my imagination. I started calling it My Shadow though, since that is what it acts like. And I'm pretty much used to the weird noises and appearances. I just hope it doesn't ever become violent!
