Hey, guys! It's been over a week since the last time I wrote you & while I was thinking about writing a new post, I've been busy with school (thug life!!!). Anyway, today I decided to write you about probably the scariest experience I've ever had and without anything more to add in my introduction, here goes the story:

This story happened about 5-6 years ago! I was still in my elementary school (I was about 13 at the time). It was about December/January and something specific about that time of the year is that one second when you look outside everything is bright, the other- you can't see a finger in front of your eyes! My room is placed on the 2nd floor of the house and is officially known as the coldest room ever! That's why I was spending my days in another room just doing nothing. To be honest, at that time, that room was just an ordinary room for me, I didn't have a fear of it or spending my days in it- but that day it all changed!
What was kind of interesting about that room is that it used to be my grandmother's room from time to time. She lived in a different country, but when she used to visit us, she used to sleep there and also spend almost all of her time in that room, because she was very sick- she was weak and was barely moving. In 2011 she passed away and after that the room became "useless".
So, as I was sitting there, I remember I was watching some Taylor Swift Fearless Tour clips and was literally in a marathon of watching more and more clips (everyone's been there!). My sister was sitting next to be without caring at all about what I was doing. At one point my mother called her downstairs to go and help her with something. As she was walking away I noticed that in few moments it's gonna get really dark, but I was too lazy to get up from my comfortable and warm spot. As time was passing by- it was getting darker and darker! I was just sitting there watching those videos.
At one point I heard my sister walking towards me, but she just stood upon me- upon my right side and wasn't moving. I didn't really look up to see why she's standing there, but I saw her shadow falling down my laptop and since I wasn't wearing headphones, I heard her breathing! I was so lazy that I was still just looking at my laptop without asking her why doesn't she sit next to me, but after few moments I decided to look up and ask her what's she doing!
But when I look up... No one was there! There was still a shadow on my laptop and I swear I heard someone breathing, but it was not my sister, or anything that had a physical form!
At that point, all alone in a dark room with a possible ghost haunting me- I FREAKED OUT and just run downstairs! When I got there, I saw my sister helping my mom with something and then I realized that it was absolutely not a prank pulled very good by my sister! I didn't speak for moments, I was scared and I felt like my whole body turned into a stone! I've never believed in ghosts and I still don't really do, but what I saw and what I heard that day stayed forever in my memory!
Only explanation I have given myself after that day is that it must've been my grandmother's ghost since she was the only person ever to spend a lot of time in that room- but even with that theory, I barely ever go inside that room- and if I do, it's probably during daytime while someone else is with me there.
I have never had a similar experience again! About a year ago, one morning I woke up at 3 a.m. to study for my school, but when I did I heard something I would describe as a violin playing in a room next to mine! I was so afraid that I ended up just laying in my bed until my alarm at 6 a.m. when I told my mom about the violin noise. She was worried, but didn't give that much of attention to it and I've never after that had any "ghost" experience again.
That's it for this post! Thank you so much for reading and I can't wait to write you next time!
Bye, xoxo
