Wow Lily. That actually gave me chills!!

I sort of have a story...this happened to me when I was 11 and in 5th grade.

I was in my old house. It was an old Victorian house, well over 100 years old. In 5th grade, I was obsessed with ghosts, as well as the rest of my class. We were convinced that ghosts were real, and to this day I am pretty sure that they are.

Anyway, that night I got changed for bed, my normal pink pajamas. I noticed that my nightgown was on the floor so I put it back in my closet and moved my sneakers for some odd reason, next to my bureau, well out of my walking way. I fell asleep. Then, at 2am, I woke up. I was pretty thirsty, so I got up, of course in complete darkness. And then I tripped. On my sneakers. I figured it was just a coincedence, my mom might've moved them, etc. Anyway, I moved them back to the original spot to prevent any tripping. I walked out of my room. I passed the computer, which was of course dark, and went to get a glass of water. After getting that I proceeded back to my room. It's not a very long walk, the kitchen was right across the hall from my bedroom. Then I saw my cat, Pablo, dart quickly past me. I figured she was just playing around. Then I saw the computer flicker back on. It would only do that if someone moved the mouse. But I was at least 10 feet from it. I ran back into my room and shut the door, encasing me in darkness again. I walked a few more steps forward, one hand outstretched to prevent me from bumping into anything, the other holding the water glass. It didn't help. I tripped again. Over my sneakers. I was clearly freaked out, so I ran back to my bed and set the water glass on my night-table and went back to sleep.

When I woke up. The water glass was gone.

And the nightgown was on the floor, at least 10 feet from the closet.

And I am absolutely serious about this you guys. This actually happened to me. It wasn't a dream, because I remember the coldness of the water I drank, the pain after tripping over the sneakers twice. I believe in ghosts because of this.
