Ghost Or Imagination

Hey Shortie,
Thank you for coming back. I'm happy I could help. What would be interesting to find out is if the image of a 12 year old boy still shows up in that room. It makes you wonder if the people living there, after you moved out, ever saw anything. And if they did, how weird would that look with no bunk bed in that same spot? Just some dark figure, about the size of a child, climbing up onto nothing. Now that's freaky!

Hey Shortie,
Just checking back to see if you had made an appearance. Oh well, good luck then.

ShortieHD,
I don't know how familiar you are with the different types of hauntings there can be. At this point I am going to guess that what you saw is what we call a "Living Residual". The reason being that the action you describe was a repetitive one, climbing up the ladder of your bunk beds. Now, when you consider that not everyone that has lived in that house would have had a bunk bed in the same room, and on that exact same spot, you have to wonder why you were experiencing this same thing over and over, right?
Let me give you an example of what I mean here.

Residual Haunting:
It is the general opinion of many paranormal investigators, and others, that an event, person, or animal can be 'recorded' and saved into the environment in which it took place (there are theories as to how this occurs but basically it is an accident of nature). This could have been either a traumatic event or a repetitive action that took place in that particular area by the same person. At some point this recorded event will then go into a 'playback' mode, similar to a video clip. This is known as a 'residual' type haunting. It (the ghost) does not interact with anyone. You cannot get it to converse with you. It simply repeats the same actions or events each time. It doesn't think, it doesn't change. It's just there and gone, and then comes back to repeat itself at another time in the future. That is your typical residual event. Just a video on perpetual replay, so to speak.
Living Residual:
Take the same residual event and send it into the 'playback' mode a little earlier than expected. Because, when you think about it, what is there to keep this event from going into the 'playback' mode at any point in the future. How would the environment 'know' that it was time to start that playback? Why couldn't it occur at any time?
Say the event recorded was a repetitive action done by one person. Let's say it is just the action of someone climbing a ladder to get into the top bunk. That sort of repetitive action is something that could easily have been recorded and gone into playback for you. I would have to also guess that the reason the image you witnessed was black, was that the action had to have been recorded in the dark of night.
I am just guessing at this, because that is really all we can do with these experiences, but my guess is that the image you witnessed was a residual image that had gone into playback early, creating a 'Living Residual'. And because you report it to be the size of a 12 year old boy, I'd say it was of you.
