story Please believe me:
When I was around the ages 3-6, I would be watching TV or something like that with my parents when I'd notice movement out of the corner of my eye. I would turn to look and I'd see the sillhouette of a tall, rather stalky man. I'd say to my parents, "Mom, Dad, it's Greenleaf." (Greenleaf was this guy my Dad made stories about and told them to me before bed.) I dought it was Greenleaf But that's who I thought it was. Any way here's a map of the room:

The X is where I sat, The 0 is the door to the bathrooms. across the hall is my room.
And the line of Periods is the way "Greenleaf" walked. By about the time I was 7, These things quit happening. Then,2 years ago(I was 11)My Best friend Ian was staying the weekend with me. It was Friday night. We were going to sleep in the front room when Ian looked at me right in the eyes and said, "Dude did you hear that?" I listened and heard a coughing sound. We knew it couldn't be my parents. You'll see what I mean by that by looking at this map.

We would have seen My parents walk by! we got freaked out and slept in there that night.
I went on the Intrenet the next day and found how to trap a ghost. We went to a local camera shop and bought some (expensive) Infa-red film. Note: We each Had a big paper route and We got about $30 dollars a week. That night we went into my room and filled my dad's camera with the film we purchased. We sat in front of my mirror and waited. Note 2: I heard from a movie you can see ghosts better through a mirror (Why not?)
We didn't fail. I saw something move behind us I turned hit the camera Button while still facing the mirror. We did this a few more times... Then we heard a cough! I hit the button and hauled butt out of there.
We went to one of those 1- hour photo places and dropped off our stuff. While we waited,we rode our bikes to the local K-mart to goof off. I found a Ouigi board in the toy isle. I thought to myself, "Why not?" I bought it and put it in my back pack. Then we set off to get our pictures. When we got home we opened our pictures and gasped with shock. In one picture (The one when we heard the cough?) I saw 2 eyes and a ghastly face. It's hands were reaching for me and Ian. I wasn't finished.
That night we got out the Ouigi board and tried to contact something. Again, we did not fail.... It said it was linked with me somehow. Note 3: I think it was my uncle Kurt who killed himself before I was born. I asked if he was the one who coughed. He said "No" I asked if The one who coughed is Bad. "Yes" Iasked then I he could protect me. "I wil Try" I felt safer as Ian began his quesioning. That night we sat on the floor of my room, candles lit, trying to make the evil spirit make it's preasence known...unfortunatly, it did. Ian suddenly fell over on his back and I felt as if someone punched me in the gut. My mind raced and I thought back to when I saw the sillhouette in the front room. My room suddenly got horribly cold and Ian began vomiting in my trash can. Out of pure hysteric fear I mumbled something like "Help GreenLeaf." After that the temperature turned back to normal and Ian quit vomiting. he stayed the rest of the night and went home the next morning. I never s! ! aw or heard anything since then but I still get "Greenleaf" on the ouigi board sometimes.
