The Shadows in my life submitted by Amanda.

Hi Edy and Nick, happy New Year.

I sent in a few stories a while ago and thought I would send some more.

There's no real threat to any of these, just writing them down.

One strange moment happened when I was seven.

I was just plain in my yard.

I heard someone whispered my name, but nobody was there. Then when I was

11 I had a friend over and we decided to just hide under the bed. I don't remember

why. At some point I saw a pair of feet walking by the bed with what looked like a long flowing dress.

I was too scared to peek out.

Then the feet walked toward the wall in my bedroom with a window and they disappeared.

I couldn't see them anymore. At that same

point my step-mom walked into the room and that's when we popped back out from

under the bed. I looked around to see if I could finally see the person in the long

flowing dress. there was nothing.

Another time, as I was hanging my coat on the coat rack, I saw someone looking at me, I swear.

Here is the one that probably freaked me out the most.

I was 14.

I was sitting in my bedroom, either reading or doing homework. I had a full length mirror in my room.

As I was just sitting there, something made me look up at my mirror. That's when I saw a black silhouette running across the mirror, like a shadow but with more

substance. But it wasn't in my room, it was only in my mirror. I freaked out and ran out of the

room. I don't have a mirror in my room anymore.
