Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Hello, my name is Andrew and I’ll share here what I’ve experienced few months ago. It was Christmas holiday and I was back home from college. My parents live now in a larger apartment than the one I grew up in and I didn’t had much time to spend here since I’m living in another town.

Second night there, I went to bed around 1am after watching some TV. It’s a very quiet neighborhood and you can sleep here without being disturbed, so I pulled the hangings on the window to keep dark too. I was sleeping like a baby and suddenly something woke me up, a sound of a door in the house. I raised my head to see what happened and kept staring on the my door glass. We have that here, and it’s like 30% transparent.

I heard footsteps but not coming from my parents room so I kept staring to see what was going on, I doubted that a thief could be inside since it’s the third floor. The footsteps got louder and louder and they were near. Then someone approached the door and suddenly I felt a deep cold in the room. It was a woman dressed in white, probably a white robe and then she went back the direction she came from. It was clear what I saw, and I was sure it was my mom.

I checked my phone and it was around 4 am, it made for few seconds light in my room. Also I had a new message from Orange Mobile spam which I checked the next day to make sure it wasn’t a dream.

After it was dark in my room again, I checked the door and I saw the woman coming very fast from the kitchen which is next to me. But we always keep the doors closed in the house, she passed straight through the door. After that, I was sure she wasn’t my mother because why would she walk around the house at that hour? She came close to my door and she was staring on the glass like she couldn’t see me. Then I could see her unusual white face and her dark eyes looking at me.

I got very scared, I turned away and put the pillow on my head. Then I started feeling that cold again and her presence in the room, just like she was right next to my bed. It was like a shock since I’ve never experienced paranormal stuff around me. I didn’t know what to do, to remove the pillow and look around or to stay there in silence and almost shaking to death. I’m not that much of a religious person, but the best decision at that moment was to start praying to god.

Just after that, I didn’t felt the cold anymore nor that presence around me. I got off the bed and quickly turned the light on, kept it like that one minute to calm myself down, shut it off and then went back to bed. I checked again around me and the door and everything was back to normal.

After I woke up in the morning, the first thing I did was asking my mom why the hell she came to my door staring at me that night. She told me I was imagining things and that she never left her room. Now after that I was sure it wasn’t a dream or my mom but I did knew the first owner’s mother died in that apartment and I don’t know how.

Since that day I came back home and spent some nights there but never experienced that again and hope I never will again.  Sorry for my bad English… it’s not my first language but I tried the best out of it.
