This story which I'm about to tell, is not a personal encounter....but the person who told me swore it was true....so its up to you to believe....(Happened in school)
It was late at night and everybody was asleep....Anna woke up as she had to answer nature's call( in need to go to the toilet ). She woke her friend up and asked her to accompany her to the toilet. The friend reluctantly agreed. At that time...it was 1 plus or that was what the huge gym clock showed. They walked down the stairs to the 2nd floor (They were sleeping on the third floor in the gym.)
While they were walking down the stairs...they heard footsteps walking up from the ground floor. Anna being cuious looked down...what she saw, would have made your hair stand on ends...a white face grinned and stared back at her from downstairs, she turned around and pulled her friend to show her the horrible white face, but just as she and her friend looked down, the face was gone. Anna was shocked...she was so frighten that she forgot about her need to go to the toilet and grabbed her friend's hand and pulled her back up stairs....
She couldn't sleep for the rest of the night partcially because she needed to pee badly and the other reason was because she was still having a terrible shock over the ghost. Weird huh? :o)
