Something In the Basement

Posted on April 19, 2010

One day when I was ten my friend and I were coming home from school (it wasn’t my usual route because I was riding home with her) and we went into her house. We were at first downstairs in the basement playing hide-and-seek, then it started to get cold so we went up stairs. My friend got on the computer, and started playing some game and I was watching something on the TV with her little sister.

We weren’t paying much attention to anything but the TV When all the sudden I looked over at the basement door, there was a lock on it so you could lock it from the outside rather than the inside. I sat the lock move, like someone was turning it but no one was there. My friend’s sister was sitting on the opposite side of the couch and was looking at the door too. (The living room couch that we were sitting on had a tiny strip of wall beside it but we could see the door clearly). And then I just decided to ignore it, I thought I was just crazy.

We continued watching the TV and then started talking and laughing. Then we heard something upstairs. We decided to go upstairs to make sure no one was in the house. My friend got a shoe (I don’t know how it would have helped us if someone had been in the house) and started up the stairs.

Nothing was there so we decided to come back downstairs and continue what we were doing before. Then I sat back where I had been, it seemed colder than it had before. So I grabbed the cover that was beside me on the couch (my friends and I were too scared to sleep upstairs because we had been sitting in her floor playing truth or dare and gotten a little pool table thrown at us) and I covered up with it.

I propped up on the arm of the couch. I kept watching the TV then all the sudden out of the corner of my eye I saw someone move. I looked at saw it looking back at me, it looked like a man in a confederate soldier’s outfit from the Civil War. He vanished and then I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to scare my friend’s little sister. A little while later (about 2 hours) I was coming back to sit down after getting a drink. I sat down covered up and started sipping my drink.

Then I felt something touch my shoulder. I looked at my shoulder to see the cuff of the soldier ghosts hand on it. I freaked out and ran over to my friend and then out of the house.

I’ve seen him numerous times since then, mainly in my friend’s basement or in her living room.

All 100% real
