My Sleepover Scare

When I was a youngster I always seemed to have seen shadows and heard voices or noises. Nothing ever scared me too bad. I was used to seeing shadows walk back and forth since I was 5. But what happened this night was not one of those times.

This specific event happened about 10 or more years ago, I am now 22. My sister and I had a cousin sleep over one night and around midnight we were talking and joking around in the living room where we were sleeping. I can't remember the conversation but my cousin was talking then all of a sudden we hear 3 knocks from my bedroom door that lead to the kitchen. My cousin stopped talking and covered her head as fast as she could.

We called my dad and told him what happened. He checked the room and said there was nothing there and that we were just scaring ourselves and that we needed to go to bed. So, being as scared as we were, we all ended up taking our pillows and blankets and sleeping in my parents' bedroom, I was closest to the door.

Everybody fell asleep before me and as soon as I start drifting I heard someone whisper my name. I immediately opened my eyes and looked toward the door. I saw someone staring at me as if they were on their hands and knees peeking around the door. As soon as I looked, they moved back behind the door and disappeared.

What I experienced that night scared me so bad that I blocked it out for years until my brother reminded me. It took me a while to remember what he was talking about but when I remembered, my eyes instantly watered. My eyes still water every time I think about it.
