One of my creepiest childhood memories happened when I was about eight years old. My family lived in an old house that had a strange history; I had heard rumors from the neighbors about it being haunted. One night, I was lying in bed when I suddenly woke up feeling like someone was watching me. I turned towards the window, and I swear I saw a shadowy figure standing there just outside.
I froze, convinced that it was just my imagination, but the figure seemed to move, almost as if it were leaning closer. I remember pulling the covers over my head and just lying there, hoping it would go away. Eventually, I mustered the courage to peek out, and the figure was gone, but the feeling of dread lingered.
To this day, I can’t shake that feeling, and whenever I hear about houses with haunting stories, it brings back that night. I often wonder if it was just a figment of my imagination or if something truly was there. Either way, it’s a memory that still sends shivers down my spine.
