story This is a great site I have always been a fan of true ghost stories! Here is one that I experienced while at university.
It was my first year at St. F.X University. I was quite home sick and never really enjoyed the social life of the first few weeks. I was assigned one of the rooms on lower campus. My roomate was a sweetheart. She was always concerend about leaving me in the room alone.
One night I insised that she go out with the rest of the gang. I remained in my room and caught up on my reading. About 12:00am I put my night cloths on, locked the door and went to sleep.
The one thing I liked about my roomate was the fact that she always made sure that the door was shut tightly and lock before she went to sleep no matter how much she had to drink.
The next morning when we woke up to go to breakfast I noticed that the door was still open about an inch. I questioned my roommate about it and she swore that the door was locked tight as usual. Neither of us could figure out how the door came to be open. Eventually we forgot all about it.
I eventually decided to move to a residence were I could have my own room. It wasn't until a few weeks later when I returned to my old residence to visit some of my friends that I heard of an occurance similar to what happened to me and my roomate.
That was when one to the seniors (call her Z) told us that there was a black shadow like figure that goes and visits the rooms. Z had actually seen the figure. She said that it will sit on the edge of the bed and cry. She said that she woke up and thought that her roomate was crying. Z continued to ask the figure (who she thought was her roomate) what was wrong getting no response. After a few minutes the figure got up and left the room. When it opened the door a bright light appeared. The light was brighter than anyting she had ever seen before. Once outside the door the figure disappeared and so did the light. (all hall lights are turned of after 1:00am in the residence) The door to Z's room was left open about one inch. The exact amount of space that mine was open when I awoke the next moring.
Z said that sometimes the figure does not wake up anyone. You know that it was there because your locked door would be open in the moring. This little piece of information sent the shivers up my spine.
There are more ghost stroies that my friends told me but I will leave them for another time.
