I was always scared of ghosts, but I loved watching scary movies. While watching I would cover 95 percent of my eye and look at the screen with the other 5percent hoping that the movie becomes 95 percent less scary. Unfortunately it never worked. I even peed on my pants when I was 7 years old. I always told myself that ghosts are unreal so I should not be scared, but no matter how hard I tried to act brave, I was always scared to watch scary movies.
My worst experience was when I watched scary movie about these creepy dolls killing everyone. As a young boy that was too much to take, so what I did was to hug my dolls and watch the movie which was ironic. I was so terrified that I could not sleep for few weeks even though I was just a young boy. If I watched right now, I would be paralyzed or worse get a heart attack. When I was young, I told myself that when I grow up, I would not be scared of ghosts anymore. The hope almost came true until the worst incident of my life happened few years ago.
It happened during the summer vacation in Japan known for many scary stories. I guess the story happened during summer since many scary stories tend to happen in the summer. So I was going back to my house from my friend's house. It was two at night. Since I was walking on the road and there were many lights and some cars, I was not scared, but as I came close to my house, I realized that I have to cross an abandoned park. My friends would always tell "me" about the scary stories in the park since I have to go through the park every day. Since I heard too many stories, it just became a funny stupid fake story... is what I thought, but I was always scared to go through the park. I'll have to be Chuck Norris to walk alone without being scared. So basically I was trying my best to walk as fast as possible and I felt this cold chill behind my back. How come all the ghosts make you feel cold? I'm pretty sure they can still be scary if they suddenly warm me up. Then I looked back. There was nothing or nobody behind me. So I looked front and started walking. I was almost out of the park, but I knew something was following me since it felt cold behind me. Since I was too scared, I didn't turn back. Soon I couldn't take it anymore, and I ran. I was out of the park, but I was still running so fast that I almost got hit by a truck. Then I looked back. There was nothing. I thought in the end there are no ghosts, then I looked up and there was a girl on top of me; her face full of blood and smiling at me. I couldn't scream and all I remember is I fainted.
I woke up the next day and the girl was still on top of me. My mom told me that I got cold since I was sleeping outside. The girl kept smiling at me, but it did no harm to me. For few days, I decided not to look up and finally she was gone. I have no idea what that was, but sometimes even now, I can feel that something is behind me or above me, so at night I never look back or up.

The mind is an incredibly powerful tool so I wonder if you didn't scare yourself into seeing an image especially if the image stayed with you for as long as you say. I think it is very possible and it is apparent by your earlier post that you have a very active imagination.
ReplyDeleteYour writing here has a few mistakes like forgetting articles or running things together a bit. Do read back over your words before you publish a post. And, of course, use paragraphs. I will count this as your fourth post as you have one that is only one sentence long.
You write better when you are free to pick your topic I see. It's nice to see this side of you. Don't forget to do one college essay and an article. You could do it on ghosts.
