This story is written by a friend of mine that I work with. She swears the story is true, but whether or not it is, it still freaks me out.
When I was 13 years old, my sister and I shared a room. We didn't have money for two beds, so my parents made us share a full size bed. It was about 11pm and we were talking in bed about a boy she liked at school. We were both getting a little sleepy, but that doesn't change the fact that we were wide awake and scared out of our minds when we heard something move in our room. It sounded like a huge rat moving about the room and needless to say we were both scared of rats. Well before long we heard the scratching noise stop in front of our dresser that was against the wall opposite from our bed. Then out of nowhere "it" ran from the dresser to the nightstand on my side of the bed. (The bed was pushed against the wall in the corner with the nightstand on the left side of the bed.) After "it" ran to the nightstand "it" paused and ran under the bed. We could feel "it" move underneath us and so we began to scream holding on to one another under the covers. "It" then ran after another short pause back to the dresser. "It" did this movement 3 or 4 times before stoppingunder the bed. We were both screaming for our mother and she never answered out call. (Her bedroom was right next to ours.) I asked my sister if she could hear it anymore and she said no. Out of nowhere something began pulling at our covers. We were both pulling on the covers and kicking with our feet. My sister kept screaming "Let it go dammit, let it go!" Finally after a few seconds it stopped tugging the covers and ran back in front of the dresser, and again to the nightstand. "It" then stopped. My sister told me to check if "it" was gone a like a big dummy I did. When I pulled the covers off my head, there it was. "It" was a dark green color with huge black eyes. "It" was wearing a joker's suit like a jester (purple and gold). It laughed right in my face and ducked back under the bed. I tried to scream but I couldn't. I got under the covers and cried telling my sister what I saw. We could feel it run under the bed and back to the dresser when i poked my head out, "it" was staring right at me, my sister poked her head out and we saw it sit on the floor, cross it's legs and arms and then put it's head down. We got under the covers and never heard it again.
The next morning when we got up, there was my favorite teddy bear sitting in the exact same place the "troll" (that is what we've come to call it) was sitting. A cross necklace that my uncle made for me was missing and we couldn't find it anywhere. When we told my mom what happened and questioned why she didn't come help us, she said she never heard us. My mom is a very light sleeper and she thinks we were making it all up. Two days later she found my necklace in the trash, but that isn't all. The path the troll was taking in my room was like a triangle. A few months later my dad's friend passed away in a tractor accident. they only lived a mile or so away from us. A girl I knew that rode our school bus committed suicide a few months after that. About a month later a friend of mine died in a car accident. They all lived not more than a mile or so apart from each other. If you take a landscape picture if the homes and connect them it is a triangle. I don't know if this "Troll" was trying to tell me something, but he scared the living mess out of me and my sister. We never had an experience like that again, but I have family member and a friend who have claimed to see the same thing. Was "it" playing a joke on us or was he trying to warn me? Who knows, but I know we will never forget that night nor his face.
