I dont know if I was seeing things or what but this is what happened. When I was 12 years old I had a best friend who lived up the street from me and one day we were talking about a talk show that was on t.v about ghosts and hauntings. She then as we walked towrd her house proceeded to tell me about her house. She told me that her house wass haunted and that the apparition was that of a young boy. i asked told her that she was lying that there was no such thing as ghosts. She told me that it was true and that if I did not believe her to ask her grandmother about it. i told her "I'll believe it when i see it". Boy did I regret saying that,my friend had to go into the house for a moment she told me she'd be out in a minute. As I watched her go into the house I noticed out of the corner of my eye that there was someone or something watching me. I slowly turned to look at her drive way and there he was standing next to the big weeping willow tree in her yard. He j! ! ust stood there staring at me I felt like he was staring into my soul or like he knewwhat i was thinking. I just totally froze, I was just standing half way in the street a few feet from the driveway My mind just went blank. I remember thinking who are who are you?. We both just stood there staring at each other. After a few minutes I finally snapped out of it. Then I thought this cant be what i think it is, I thought it's probably immonie my friends sister playing a joke on me. My friends grandma had some special shutters on the window which she kept down when she was not home. All of a sudden the sound of the shutters be ing opened broke the silence and when this happen the sound of the shutters startled him ,we both jumped when we heard the shutters being opened I finally snapped out of the trance that i was in. He jumped and then quickly turned around and looked at the shutters then he turned at glanced at mefor amoment then he ran,ducted behind under the window a! ! s if he did not want to be seen,he then ran down the drive way.and disappeared into the back yard. I still thought that it was a practical joke by immonie my friends sister so I called out my friends sister's name"Immonie,where are you going!" He did not even look back at me. I was going to go after him,you know follow him into te back yard but I chickened out,i thought it was best to let it go. Then my friend comes out and she asked me what was the matter with me that i look like I just saw a ghost, all i could do was point at the weeping willow tree, not a sound would come out of my mouth. I was in shock. When I was able to talk I still could get my words together I was stuttering through the whole thing. When I finally told her what happen she told me to talk to her grandma about what I had seen. So I did and to my surprize she asked me if i had asked me if i had communicated with the apparition, I told her no that I was too shocked to talk. She wanted me to ask i! ! t what it wanted why was it still hear ect..She asked me if i ever see him again to talk to it. The apparition was that of a young boy maybe 10 or11 I'm not sure. He was wearing like a white tuxedo,not regular white I mean glowing white,he had blonde hair, and his face white as paper. I thpught about it very carefully after the incident and it could not have been a kid jumping the gate in the back yard that connects the next block and I dont think that it was a fragment of the imagination . After this happened I then started exoierencing things in my friend house like hearing things that no one else heard. Since that day I believe in the unexplainable,I believe in ghosts now.
