The Ghoul’s Recruitment
I had so many paranormal experiences when I was a kid, but the one that has always stuck with me happened when I was about four years old. Back then, I used to randomly wake up in the middle of the night for no known reason.
I was still sleeping in my parents’ bed at the time, so I would just lay in bed and look around. That’s when it would happen. Whenever I was looking around and trying to get back to sleep, I would see two really tall figures just standing there.
They looked like the old farm couple in that famous painting, except they had hollow eyes and they were even thinner. At first, they didn’t do anything but stare back at me. One night, in particular, was especially weird… I woke up as usual and saw the couple standing there in front of the doorway again.
Only this time, something felt a bit more off than usual. It got downright terrifying. The ceiling fan was on high and the blades were going so fast that the entire fixture was shaking. I looked back at the figures and they had some really dark, creepy grins on their faces.
I was petrified. I buried myself under the blankets, hoping they’d go away. All I could hear was the ceiling fan spinning faster and faster. The beads at the end of the fan’s pull chains were tapping furiously against the glass light cover.
I peeked out from under the blankets and the two figures were right next to the bed, standing right over me with their ugly smiles. I screamed and the glass cover on the light flew off and shattered on the floor.
My dad jumped out of bed immediately and turned on the light to see what happened, but the two figures were already gone. I was crying so badly that it took my mom a long time to calm me down. That was definitely the worst house I have ever lived in. Story credit: Reddit / (miss_mactastic)
