ear. Or play soft pranks during the night. He would say he loved me and he wanted me to go with him.
You see, in Germany where I was born, the locals believed the Erlkin, Elf King, lived in the Black Forest. Think Hansel and Gretel. They were known for taking very young girls who strayed too close, but only if they were pure. I guess he couldn't keep me for I never ventured into the trees in the distance where I would see him.
Now, years later, I sometimes see him when I sleep, but he doesn't talk anymore and I don't feel so watched. One of his brides was taken away I guess.
Ghost Roomies
Lampasas, Texas
I moved to Lampasas in the summer of 2000. I hadn't been in my new home long before I realized we were not alone. My husband, my 13-year-old son, and myself were the only ones living in our home. At least, that’s what we thought!
Our house is an older home that has been well taken care of and we loved it instantly. One day my son was outside and my husband was at work while I was at my computer doing some paperwork. Out of the corner of my eye I glimpsed a shadow passing by but dismissed it, thinking my son must have come inside to get a drink. As I turned back to the task at hand, once again I glimpsed a shadow passing by me in the hall.
I got up to go see what my son was doing and to my surprise he was nowhere in sight. I looked outside and saw him involved in his basketball game. I asked him if he had just came inside and he told me no, which was verified by his friends.
Since that first time, we have all experienced this movement in the house. Since no harm has ever come to any of us we have decided we have ghost roomies! Now I don't think anything about it and have looked up and watched shadows move past us more times than I can count. Now if we could just get them to pay rent!
At Grandma's House
San Antonio, Texas
When I was eight, my family and I used to live with my grandma. We had just moved to town and needed some time to get settled.
One night I was asleep and I woke up suddenly. You know the feeling you get when you are being watched? Well that's what I felt. I turned to the doorway and there was a little boy standing there just looking at me. At first I thought it was my brother but then I remembered he was at friend's house.
I got so freaked out that I hid under the covers. Then I felt him, or something, standing right next to my bed. I refused to come up from under the covers and the next thing I knew it was morning. I don't know what it was, but I didn't sleep by myself from then on.
My grandma's has always had unexplained things happening but this was my first personal experience.
Ancient Army Men
Corpus Christi, Texas
My little brother is in a Boy Scout troop, and I got to go along on their trip to the Lexington, a very old warship boat that had a sad and gruesome history.
One night I took a stroll on the deck that thousands
of people had died on. The gurgle of the water was music to my ears, and the view was even more beautiful. Then, at that very moment, screams of at least 100 dying souls rang through my ears, the noise was so horrid and loud that I fell to my Knesset and screamed. I then had a feeling that some one was choking me! Then, it all stopped, and I just hugged my knees and bawled.
I used to be a non-believer... Now? I believe.
Something In My Room
Pearland, Texas
Hello, my name is Stephanie and I am going to share with you the most terrifying week of my life.
When I was about 6 years old, I had this intense fear of my closet. I always felt as if someone, or something, was in it. I never wanted to sleep in my own room because I was so afraid of it.
This all started the day I found out that the previous owner of my house died in my room. At this time, being only 6, I thought nothing of it. But, I would soon become a believer in the paranormal.
That night, my mom had just put me to bed and I was having a really hard time sleeping. The way my
