My First Encounter
I remember it like yesterday. I was about 15 years old, sitting in my 7th-grade classroom. I had been repeating classes. I believe being haunted is what delayed progress in my life.We were learning about fractions.
Suddenly, I saw a boy in a yellow shirt, sitting next to one of my former classmate. But I had never seen this boy before. When did we get a new classmate,I wondered. Before I could ask my friends next to me about him he vanished.
I thought I imagined it. But then I saw him again, staring at me with empty eyes. I felt chills,hair vibrating and a knot in my stomach. My friends didn't notice anything. That's when I knew that something was horribly wrong.
That day, I saw few more people. A woman in a white dress, standing by the window. A man with a kind face, sitting at the back. And a little girl, playing with a ball.
No one else saw them but me. It was like I was crazy.
*The Fear Begins*
At first, I tried to ignore them and minded my own business. But they kept coming back. Every day, more and more came. I couldn't concentrate. My grades suffered,my grades have always suffered because of this but no one believed me.
I told my parents, but they thought I was stressed or imagining things. My friends laughed. I was becoming a joke.
I felt alone and misunderstood.
The Haunting became more intense.
The sightings increased. I saw dead people everywhere and it is was scary and uncomfortable– in hallways, cafeterias, even on the school bus.
I started skipping classes, fearing what I'd see. But the visions followed me home. It became my everyday life.
That's when I knew I had to quit school. I stopped going to school and I stopped seeing those people and I was no longer being followed around.
*Seeking Answers*
Now, I'm searching for reasons. Why me? Why can't others see them?
If you've experienced something similar, please share your story. I'm not alone, am I?
