THOUGH THERE ARE TWO EVENTS THAT I REMEBER CLEAR AS I SEE TODAY. THE FIRST WAS THE ONW WHICH SCARED ME THE MOST. I MOST HAVE BEEN ABOUT 10 AT THE TIME. MY FAMILY HAD JUST MOVED INTO A ROW HOME IN BALTIMORE CITY. WE HAD NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF ANYTHING STRANGE ABOOUTHIS HOUSE. IT WAS ACOLD NIGHT AND MY PARENTS HAD SET MYSELF AND MY TWO BROTHERS AND ONE SISTER TI BED. WE CLIMBED INTO OUR BEDS TO GET WARM UNDER OUR COVERS. I COULD FEEL THE NIGHT GETTING COLDER SO I COVERED MY HEAD TO KEEP WARM. IT SEEMED AS IF THE WHOLE WORLD HAD STOPPED. SILENT, CRISP, COOL. I GLANCED OVER AT MY SISTER WHO HAD ALREADY FALLEN TO SLEEP. THE HOUSE WAS QUITE WITH OUUT SOUND. I YAWED AND BEGAN TO FALL ASLEEP MYSELF. THEN I HEARD A DOOR CLOSING DOWN THE HALL IN THE AREA OF THE BATH ROOM. I HADN'T HEARD ANYONE PASS THE DOOR. AND I KNOW THAT MY PARENTS HAD NOT COME UP. MY MOTHER ALWAYS CAME IN TO MAKE SURE WE WERE ALL WARM AND COVERED WITH BLANKETS. I CALLED OUT TO SEE IF IT WAS MY ONE OF MY BROTHERS. I GOT NO ANSWER. I CALLED OUT AGAIN. STILL NO ANSWER. MY MOTHER CALLED UP THE STAIRS TO ME,'STARR ARE YOU ALL RIGHT UP THERE?' 'YES MOM, I JUST HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM AND I THINK KENNY IS IN THERE.' I ANSWERED. SHE SAID GO CHECK AND THEN WHEN I WAS FINISHED I WAS TO GO STAIGHT TO BED. I TROW THE BLANKET TO THE END OF THE BED AND STARTED DOWN THE HALL. THERE WAS NO LIGHT ON IN THERE. I KNOCKED BUT STILL NO ONE ANSWERED. I SLOWLY OPENED THE DOOR. IT WAS DARK IN THERE EXCEPT FOR THIS STRANGE GLOW COMING FROM WAS APEARED TO BE THE WINDOW. I OPENED THE DOOR THE REST OF THE WAY AND BEGAN TO CRY AND WEEZ LOUDLY. I HEARD MY MOTHER RUNNING UP THE STAIRS TO FIND ME IN TEARS AS WE STOOD LOOKING AT A MAN SITTING IN THE TOLET NOT NOTICING THAT WE WERE THERE AT FIRST. MY MOTHER PULLED ME BACK AWAY FROM THE DOOR AS SHE WENT IN FURTHER INSIDE TO SEE IF IT WA THE LITE FROM THE WINDOW PAYING TRICKS ON HER EYES TOO. SHE LOOKED AT THE MAN AND SAID WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU WANT? MY FATHER YELLED UP THE STAIRS,'MARIE ARE YOU OK?' MOM ASKED ME TO GET DAD. I RAN AS FAST AS I COULD TO GET HIM. BY THEN ALL THE OTHER CHILDREN WERE AWAKE AND BECAUSE THEY COULD HEAR THE FEAR IN BOTH MY VOICE AND MY MOHTERS THEY BEGAN TO CRY TOO. AS WE ALL CRIED THE MAN LOOKED AT US STOOD UP AND WALKED TOWARD THE DOOR WHERE WE STOOD. AS GOT CLOSE TO US THE ARE SMELLED DAMP AND IT HAD GOTTEN SO COLD WE COLD SEE OUR BREATHS. JUST AS HE WAS ABOUT TO TOUCH US I CLOSED MY EYED AND SCREAMED. MY MOTHER PULLED ME TO HER AND HELD ME TIGHT. THEN THE COLD LEFT AND THE SMELL WAS GONE. WHEN I OPENED MY EYES HE WAS GONE. MY MOTHER AND I NEVER SAW HIM AGAIN AFTER THAT. WE HAD A FEW STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN BUT NOTHING LIKE THAT. A FEW WEEKS LATER WHEN MY MOTHER SAW THEY PEOPLE WHO LIVED THERE BEFORE US SHE METIONED THE GOST. THEY ASKED US WHERE IN THE HOUSE DID WE SEE HIM. MY MOTHER EXPLAINED THAT HOW NIGHT TO THEM JUST AS IT HAPPENED. THEY EXPLAINED THAT THE MAN OF THE HOUSE HAD PASSED AWAY IN THE BATHROOM. HE DIED SUDDENLY FROM A HEART ATTACK. I BELEIVED THAT HE WAS THERE STILL TRYING TO BE THE MAN OF THE HOUSE. WE MOVED SHORTLY AFTER THAT. BUT WE HEARD OTHER STORIES JUST LIKE OURS. How it changed my life:IT LEFT ME WITH THE THOUGHT THAT LIFE DOES NOT END WHEN THE BODY DIES.
