last Sunday I was putting together a new dress right bot in the rear bedroom of my apartment the bedroom door was open and I could see down the main hallway into the living room where my fiance was standing with the two kids while they were playing this is about 7:30 p. m. a knock comes on the door my six-year-old son runs to the door and opens it even though he knows he isn't supposed to we are working on this he was coming down from his birthday party excitement and just went for it probably thinking someone else was stopping by for his party even though it was long over a woman is at the door I recogniz her as an upstairs neighbor from the other side of the building she says she needs help and walks straight into the apartment she began frantically talking nonsense saying she was locked out of the building but obviously she is in the building she's in our place she was saying she can get into her apartment but couldn't get into the building then in the same breath saying she can't get into her apartment she appears extremely disoriented and keeps saying she's just so exhausted or really tired over and over again she appears very out of it not balancing very well speech pattern is sloppy appears to be in some sort of a light days to me immediately it appeared she was having some sort of episode as soon as I stepped foot near her I could tell something fishy was going on she continued to talk in circles and not make any sense saying her parents were going to be worried if she didn't check in with them but she lives alone she begins repeatedly asking us to call numbers for her her phone is in her hand on the video recording setting but I could see it wasn't recording she's rolling something in her pocket over and over it appears to be a screwdriver as she's telling my fiance numbers to dial she cannot come up with the numbers every phone number she gave us to call for help was multiple digits short they were not phone numbers then when I said that's not enough numbers to make a phone number she would switch to a different phone number and then would stop halfway through saying it this happened about 7 to eight times and finally I'd had enough she kept saying her phone wasn't working so I had let her try to use my phone but she ended up just standing there holding it not even using it and continuously talking nonsense I'm thoroughly uncomfortable at this point and very upset that this woman has entered my apartment without invitation and is acting this way around my children I tell my fiance to take the kids to the back of the house and try to coax the woman out by saying let's go check out your apartment come with me we will see if it's open I try to lead her out of my apartment but she's saying she's so exhausted and needs to sit down and proceeds to just sit down on my living room couch I'm not thrilled with this in fact I'm livid but I keep my call and realize I'm dealing with crazy my fiance flanks her from the back so she cannot get further into the apartment and near the children again I continue trying to coax her out after about 5 minutes of trying to convince her to leave our apartment and come with me to check hers out she finally walks ever so slowly out of our basement apartment I'm a Stairway ahead of the woman already telling her to follow me up to her apartment on the way to her apartment she attempts to get into two other apartments that are not hers I tell her each time that is not her apartment when I arrive at her apartment the door is wide open she has not caught up with me yet so I take a quick glance inside the door the couch cushions are thrown everywhere and the living room is looking torn up and turned upside down she arrives behind me and tries again to get into another neighbor's apartment across the hall from hers I tell her that's not her apartment but hers is here and wide open finally I get her to go inside of her apartment when she does she apologizes to me saying I'm sorry this is how we had to meet I'm just so exhausted I say it's okay and quickly head back downstairs to my apartment I have such an uneasy feeling that I decide to call the C s and let them know some woman who I've never spoken to before showed up at my door asking for help and acting disoriented they say they will send someone to check on her an hour later police arrive and knock on her door no answer they leave 4:15 a.
m. rolls around my 6-year-old son and one-year-old daughter have been asleep through the night as of myself and my fiance I get up to use the bathroom as I'm using the bathroom I hear a light knock on the apartment door so light I actually second guessed if I heard it I call out to my fiance to ask if she heard a knock at the door too she says she didn't hear it we both head towards the living room together just to see if we can hear anything no sooner do we step in the living room then we begin to hear scratching at our front door the unmistakable sound of someone clawing at your door is not something I wish for anyone to hear in the middle of the night it's truly horrifying I tell my fiance to go be with the kids and make sure they're okay I open the door to find the woman from earlier standing at the top of the Flight of the stairs in front of my apartment just looking down staring at the door it it's terrifying so I told her no way are we doing this I proceeded to call her a crazy and tell her to get the away from my apartment and stay away from my family I also told her I'm calling the cops right now she scurries away out of sight presumably back to her apartment I immediately call the police they show up and ask her all of the mental health questions which she apparently answered adequately so they said there's nothing they can do this woman was clearly in some sort of state and is now harassing me and my family and disturbing our peace and the safety of my children they told her to stay away from us and I haven't seen her in a week since then but I can't help but continue to think about it ever since the first time she entered the apartment acting crazy I've had this pit in my stomach and this uneasy feeling that whatever this is is not over I still don't know what it was that was going on and it makes me feel so uneasy I don't know what to make of it our other neighbor who were cool with said that her door knob was being jiggled by someone in the middle of the night putting two and two together I know it was this crazy woman it's got me sick the complex sent her a warning that this behavior is unacceptable but I really don't know what to do or how to feel my first instinct is to respond with anger and physically defend myself and my family any input is welcome and appreciate it for some context this happened when I was in high school and was more prone to foolish suggestions I will never be anywhere near that board again and do not recommend anyone else play with it it was supposed to be a casual night we were happy to be done with school for a while and enjoy summer vacation around midnight someone mentioned the Ouija board nah I said shaking my head I'd heard enough stories to know it's not something you mess with but they kept pushing joking that I was too scared I laughed it off but in the back of my mind a faint onise prickled it felt like something I shouldn't do like Crossing some invisible line but eventually I caved part of me also excited we set the board on the coffee table and dimmed the lights half for effect and half because we thought it was all just a game we settled around the board fingers on the planchet exchanging nervous glances I could feel that same prickling sense of caution but I ignored it it's just a board game I told myself is anyone here my friend asked her voice slow almost mocking nothing happened at first we all looked at each other grinning but then just as we were about to give up the planchet slid slow and steady toward yes we froze half expecting someone to laugh and admit they were pushing it but no one did so what's your name my friend asked trying to keep up with the joking tone but I could hear the edge in her voice the planet didn't move this time it just stayed still as if waiting after a long silence I asked do you you want us here I don't know why I asked that they just slipped out and as soon as I said it I wished I hadn't slowly the planchette slid to know a chill settled over the room the kind of feels like it's creeping in from some deep cold place one of my friends laughed nervously saying it was probably just a joke or one of us messing around but nobody looked convinced anymore more I suggested we stop but someone else brushed it off saying we were almost done so we kept going feeling a little braver again asking questions and joking around but the atmosphere stayed heavy like the room was closing in on us all right I finally said ready to end it do you want us to leave the planet shot to yes so quickly it made us all jump we all pulled our hands back laughing nervously but I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off that maybe we've done something we shouldn't have as we started cleaning up we noticed that one of the candles had gone out without us noticing and the air felt colder than it had before we laughed it off but the jokes fell flat and when I looked into my friend's faces I could see that they felt it too that sense of wrongness hanging over us silent and heavy and the weirdest part for weeks after that night I kept feeling like I was being watched I'd catch myself glancing over my shoulder seeing shadows that didn't quite make sense it was probably nothing I told myself just My Mind Playing Tricks but deep down I knew something had shifted that night like a door we couldn't see had opened and something or someone had been watching waiting and maybe just maybe it was still there lingering on the edge of the light when I was about 6 years old old I stayed at my grandmother's quite frequently she lived in a mobile home and the washroom and living room were on the opposite sides of the trailer one day I walked to the end of the hallway to use the washroom and when I looked inside to find the light switch and turn it on I see my cousin who sometimes visits my grandma look me directly in the eye and put her finger up to her lips like the shush motion but she was completely silent she then got on her hand hands and knees and crawled behind the counter and out of sight I felt a feeling of dread and instantly knew this wasn't my cousin or even a human being for that matter I took off running and screaming for my grandma we searched the entire trailer together it was only Us in there while we searched I told her I saw my cousin in there and she told me not to be silly my cousin's not visiting Town she's at home like couple of hours away to this day I don't know what I saw or why I saw it or even why it made the shush gesture back in 2020 at the tail end of the major part of the pandemic I decided to take my family on a trip to Gettysburg Pennsylvania I love history and love reading everything about the Civil War now Gettysburg is supposed to be a very haunted place so you would expect to see things out in the battlefield cemeteries and old buildings the following happened at our hotel upon checking into our hotel I had asked the hotel about laundry facilities as we didn't arrive directly to Gettysburg but landed in Richmond and did a bunch of battlefields along the way so by the time we arrived in Gettysburg we needed to wash some clothes I tend to pack light like bring enough clothes for half the trip but then do a wash Midway since this trip was mainly for me and my son my wife was like no you're doing the laundry her way of making me pay for a boring trip for her that and I had to buy her lots of pretty things along the way this evening we got back to our hotel rather late I had asked the hotel if it was okay to do laundry as there was a sign that said no laundry after I think 8:00 p. m.
or something the woman at the front desk said that there was no one staying in the rooms near the laundry room I had to run back to the room to gather my laundry and then again back to the front desk because I ran out of quarters so by the time I started laundry it was well past 9:00 p. m. the hotel had one washer and one dryer so rather than run back over to my room I was looking up things to do the next day and also looking at my phone watching videos I had my body facing the washer and dryer so off to my left hand side was the interior hallway that led to other rooms and the double doors to the outside the noise from the washer was a bit loud when you're in the room then when I had my clothes in the dryer and washer it was even more loud I was only paying attention to my phone not looking down the hallway however I'd heard a door open and close I didn't look and just assumed someone was there down the hallway off of the side of my view I saw a shadow walking towards me from the very end of the other hallway so I poked my head up and turned to look down the hallway totally expecting to see another guest or hotel employee as I turn there's no one there I just just assumed maybe they went into a room I thought in my head that the hotel had told me no one was staying near the laundry but everyone else who was staying there was in the main part of the hotel you also need a hotel key card to get in from the outside so it wouldn't have been a random person off the street I go back to looking at my phone I turn facing the washer and dryer not paying attention to whatever is down the hallway a few minutes later I hear a loud boom from down the hallway it sounded like metal poles falling over or something I jump up and look down the hallway but I still see nothing my load that was in the dryer is finished so I'm putting that load in the trash bag and putting the load from the washer into the dryer as I'm doing this I again see someone down the hallway off the side of my vision so I turned and the lights looked in down the hallway but no one was down there there I started to feel very uneasy kind of like someone was watching me I have to wait 30 more minutes for this load to finish I started to not face the washer and dryer anymore but face toward the hallway I can't tell if my eyes are playing tricks on me maybe I'm a little tired from the trip or whatever but I keep expecting someone to pop out or jump out and attack me as soon as my load finishes I start packing and another trash bag I am in full get the out of here mode now that all the machines are off and I can hear clearly I pack up my stuff and start to head out just as I get to the door leading to the outside I hear footsteps I turn thinking someone is walking up on me but again nothing is there I leave that wing of the hotel and make it back to the lobby and then I go back to my room my wife looks at me like what happened to you I said well I totally believe all those stories about Gettysburg being haunted all right everyone so I had a recent encounter with well something I'm not sure what it was as I never actually saw it but the encounter seems to be in line with things I've read here and on other places so here it goes it was approximately 2 weeks ago just before Halloween now let me start by saying I'm not an avid Outdoorsman I love hiking and I've spent countless hours in my City's 16 square m State Park sln Nature Reserve or whatever you want to call it but I'm not a mountain man by any means the park is home to several indigenous mammals birds fish and reptiles and is full of small ponds thick brush and even swampy marshes and spots there are designated hiking and biking trails that sprawl the area but there are also several wild areas that aren't really maintained or used being that I have an adventurous streak and that I also hate being around groups of people I often find myself in these less ventured or wild areas now it's worth noting that I've never really felt uncomfortable in this park it's kind of like my safe place I go there to get away decompress after work or just to be alone sometimes it feels like a second home in ways anyway enough background information I'm rambling I just pulled up to one of the less commonly fished ponds Beaver Lake and I intended to Circle to The Far Side 3/4 of a mile from my truck on one of the hiking trails that goes right next to the tree line and then into the tree line and then push further back onto one of the old horse trails now this horse trail in particular doesn't get used much anymore I can't say why for sure but I've heard a myriad of different reasons from different people the most logical explanation is that it's just not as convenient to get to anymore and it gets pretty marshy when it rains I'd be able to follow the normal hiking trail for the first 3/4s of a mile but I'd have to fork left off of the trail once it went into the tree line the gate to the old horse trail was about 500 yd to my 9:00 from there just through an overgrown Thicket and up a slight Hill I made my way over the 4T gate and started exploring I had about an hour and a half before sunset and I have a strict the woods at night policy so I was watching my time my main goal for this adventure was to snap some pictures of the area for a project I've been working on and I'll admit I was more distracted than I typically am anyway close to an hour passed I'd gotten some good shots and I figured now was a good time for my e ESS it had take me close to 30 minutes to get back to my truck and I wasn't keen on getting stuck in an unfamiliar area at night I sat my backpack down on a stump dropped to one knee and started packing and organizing my stuff I'm not sure what the Catalyst was but I suddenly felt this terrible sense of dread I slowly turned and scanned my surroundings nothing seemed out of place I stood up and grabbed my B when I took a step forward a leaf crunched under my boot and I realized that everything was dead silent now as I said above I'm not an avid Outdoorsman by any means but I know well enough that silence like that is an indication that a predator is nearby and you need to quickly but calmly make your way out of the area and stay vigilant it's worth noting that while Mountain lots and black bear are not technically indigenous to my area there have been more than enough CAU and reloc ated for it to be a valid concern I've been stalked by a mountain lion on one other occasion and this felt eerily similar so that was at the Forefront of my mind I've been moving for probably 5 minutes and everything honestly seemed fine I'd lulled myself into believing that I was overreacting and that everything was fine I didn't see anything I didn't hear anything good right wrong by this point the trail was completely overgrown on both sides I could see fairly clearly behind me and a decent way ahead but my left and right may as well have been fall colored walls I must have gotten lost in thought for a moment because I tripped on a route and ate as I was picking myself up I started hearing a soft I don't know cooing or chittering off to my right it sounded like a mix between a D and the Predator it would start with a coup or Yelp and end with this weird chittering sound I'm actually sitting here trying to replicate it and I sound ridiculous I'm not sure my throat is even capable of recreating it anyway I'm out of shape and there's no way I'm outrunning anything so I scrambled up planted my feet and tried to make myself look as menacing as a fat 22-year-old with a backpack and glasses can MK about 100 yard ahead of me which would have been originally behind me had I not fallen so toward where I'd taken the pictures and was moving away from I saw the underbrush start to shake and it sounded like something was tearing through it I only had maybe 20 minutes of daylight at this point and it would take me at least that long to make my way back to my truck so I did exactly what what you're not supposed to do naturally I turned around and I booked it knowing good and Damned well that I can run for maybe a half mile 3/4 of a mile if something's trying to kill me maybe I could barely hear anything over my own footfalls and the sound of my heart pounding but whatever it was was chasing me through the underbrush and it was gaining on me it may have been 15 yards behind at this point and I still had a ways to go I don't know if fear kept me going or what but I reached deeper and just kept running my breath got shallow my vision started blurring and I was honestly about to collapse when I saw the gate to the horse trail about 300 yd ahead of me this thing is right on top of me by now and as soon as I came within Arm's Reach of the gate I planted my foot on the Bottom Rung and launched my myself over it my Landing was not graceful I landed on my right shoulder and tumbled several yards down the hill and into a puddle of muck I wasn't thinking straight now and I stood up shakily and started making my way toward the tree line and pond I knew what direction to go and I didn't even bother finding the hiking trail I just crashed through the brush and overgrow like some kind of Barbarian I didn't care about the cuts and scrapes or the massive amount of noise I was making my only thought was to get out the chittering noises had stopped but I still heard something moving in the brush at the top of the hill it wasn't trying to be quiet anymore either I finally broke through the tree line and could see my truck parked across the pond at the top of the hill I finally took a deep breath and started slowly walking away from the tree line the ominous feeling lifted and I started making my way up the trail alongside the tree line I was able to catch my breath for about 15 seconds I heard that god- awul coing and chittering behind me again and I turned to look back at the tree line behind me so at this point there's a trail leading into the tree line in front of me the tree line to my right water to my left and the trail leading alongside the tree line and around the pond to the cars behind me the direction I needed to go SL was going before I heard the sounds again the underbrush at the tree line ahead of me started to shake and fear took over I'm thankful my bag is waterproof and that my phone is water resistant because I jumped into the Pond and I swam across I've never really told this story to anyone in my personal life they probably think I'm crazy and I doubt they'd consider me credible especially given my interest in Bigfoot and other Cryptids I don't know what was stalking me that day I know I wound up cold wet and a bit shaken up I also know I've not been back to that part of the park and I can't come up with a good explanation Beaver Lake is off limits to me for a while I think I'll just continue exploring and hanging out on the slightly more populated side of the park so what do you guys think I lived in Connecticut since I was 8 years old a large group of kids and I were constantly in the woods that bordered on the back of our homes we were doing usual kid stuff there was a cliff we would scale down easily to a river there were old cars old washers dryers you name it so it started out really innocently I would occasionally see what I thought was a whitish SL gray face poking out from behind trees looking at us playing or what have you then once I saw a whole half of a body with no clothes but the same color skin step out from behind a tree I was walking towards and I freaked out and left the woods I never told anyone one because I thought I was losing my mind to be honest fast forward about 2 years and my best friend's older sister is refusing to come with us to a bonfire in the woods and finally she tells us that she won't come because there's a weird creature out there and that she saw it watching her one day I asked what she meant and she described in full detail the same thing I had seen after a few more probing questions I admitted I'd seen it too knew I never went back into the woods again eventually my parents and I move within the same town and all is good I don't see anything funky for a long while fast forward to me being 19 it's me and my best friend's car I'm in front and there's three other friends in the back seat it's 2: a.
m. or so we decided we're going to go creep ourselves out by driving down this long haunted road and in the middle of the woods my best friend wants to scare everyone so he's stopping the car occasionally and turning off the lights we're all creeped but having fun until the last time he does it and turns the headlights back on and there in the middle of the gravel road is a giant white humanoid figure on all fours that just takes the off I basically start crying from Fear because I recognized that off-white skin color and face shape my best friend G who's driving screamed and the rest of the car panics even though only G and I saw it g takes the off this sets into motion the widespread sightings that I know of between me and people related to me about a month later my boyfriend drops me off at home after a date and he takes this long wiy road straight home every time about 15 minutes later he calls me and he's all freaked out telling me that he saw this huge weird looking white animal on the side of the road I had never told him about me ever seeing these weird things we were a new couple and once again I didn't want him to think I was nuts he said it looked like it had a human face and was skinny the next thing to happen was that my friend was going into the Orchards one night to watch a meteor shower with our group of friends but that night I couldn't make it this was about a week after my boyfriend saw something they're out there at about 12:30 a night and the whole group except one decided to go rub the orchard of their peaches leaving my one friend up top alone she calls me freaking the hell out telling me she saw what looked like a giant but skinny furless polar bear near her car and she was panicking because she couldn't find anyone and she was screaming for them eventually she did and they laughed the very last sighting I've had was with my best friend G from the car sighting G and I spent a lot of time at his grandfather's house caring for him as he was 97 with a broken hip and I was a CNA so it worked one night we're there late his grandpa went to sleep and we keep thinking we hear Taps on the windows and on the siding of the house nothing too crazy so we say it and decide to go smoke on the back porch and see what's up all is calm except at the edge of the backyard where there's a steep Cliff unclimbable by humans even and at the bottom of it is a river and we hear this shuffling it then sounds like it's deliberate walking so we're thinking what the hell could that be walking on a cliff like that we inch closer and closer until we look down this cliff and it's a white creature crawling up the cliff I've never been so scared we ran inside we called his uncle who lived Three Doors Down who had some guns and we begged him to come over he did and nothing was around all of these sightings happened within a 6 week period but since nothing has happened I'm 27 now I've been with the same boyfriend for 7 years my best friend G has been my best friend and still is for 9 years the other girl at the orchard and the older sister of my friend I have known for 20 years these people saw what I saw and for once I don't feel so crazy I'm just more worried about when I will see them next this all happened within a 15m radius for a bit of background when my wife was young her parents and siblings slipped with one set of her grandparents her grandfather was murdered in the home it happened in his bedroom upstairs the room was used primarily his storage for the next 20 plus years her parents tried to sell the house multiple times but living in a small town everyone knew and the house would not sell so they stayed years later and while my wife and I were engaged there was a murder trial which I attended in support of her family I saw the crime scene photos which is important for later another few years later we had two kids the oldest was six at the time my wife's family does not talk about the murder and our kids don't know about it to to this day my father-in-law decided he wanted the room where the murder happened to be a hangout for the grandkids when the family was in town he put sleeping bags in the TV in the room ahead of a holiday days long get together we didn't like it but stayed silent since the murder was a sore subject my father-in-law also wanted all the grandkids to all sleep in there together we were the first to arrive and my son went into the room alone he usually couldn't sit still long at that age so after a couple of hours I decided to check in on him here is our conversation during the whole conversation he was still and rigid and would not look away from the TV hey buddy is everything okay up here yeah he responded okay have fun daddy do I have to sleep in here I don't want to he asked me why not not I inquired I'm not alone he replied every hair on my body stood up well yeah I'm here with you buddy no there's someone in here with us he proceeded are they nice mean grownup a kid I pushed further a grownup he said what are they doing right now I asked they are watching you he told me you have never said anything like this at your grandparents house before and you've been here a lot I said they don't leave this room and I've never been in here before he replied to me where are they now I asked without looking away from the TV he points to the far corner where his great-grandfather was murdered and said they're standing over there they don't move much okay buddy you don't have to stay in here I reassured him and he left the room with me this didn't happen to me but to my mother well technically it did happen to me as she was pregnant with me when it happened when my mom was still married to my biological father they lived in Pensacola Florida he was an actor at the time and his troop performed at the Sanger theater my mom wasn't allowed to drive due to her being very pregnant with me so my dad would have to do all the driving she would often get stir crazy and suffer cabin fever so she made him take her with him to dress rehearsals my mom eventually took it upon herself to help out in the rehearsals while the actors practiced their lines the orchestra rehearsed their music and so on my mom would move around the theater taking notes she would write down any issues she encountered when sitting in different sections of the house like if a prop or a piece of a set blocked the view of an actor from one angle if one actor's Mark happen to obstruct the view of another actor on their mark from another angle or if the orchestra's performance of Heaven on their minds made it difficult to hear Judas singing at the end of the rehearsal she would pass her notes along to the director and producer who would then pass them onto the proper people during one particular rehearsal my mom was sitting up in the balcony and proceeded to head back to the main level the lights were still down so it was pretty dark and as she was 7 or 8 months pregnant couldn't see her feet she missed a step and nearly fell forwards when she felt something grab her right arm and pull her backwards it had a very tight grip on her arm and began to pull at her urging her to go ahead she proceeded down the steps noticing the grip not releasing at all when she got to The Landing to the main level she turned to thank whoever pulled her up but nobody was there there were no marks no bruising nothing to show her arm was grabed when I was around 7 I'd been feeling sick one day and I fell asleep on the sofa in my dad's office the office has two doors and it's between the kitchen and a hallway I must have fallen asleep in the early evening and slept like a rock until I woke up in the middle of the night with our two cats locked in the office with me and they were meowing frantically I was sick a little kid and I didn't know what to do so I just sat there and cried after a couple of minutes my older brother must have hurt me which was weird because he used to wear his Walkman headphones at night because he opened the door from the kitchen side and reached out for me as if to say all right come here he had his Walkman and headphones in the other hand I took his hand and he walked me downstairs to his bed and he let me sleep with him that night years later when I was a teenager I was retelling that story at some family event and my brother cut me off to say that he didn't come upstairs I walked down to his room I had woken up disoriented and scared there was no way I left that room by myself I was also skittish of my dad's basement at that age hence needing the escort I vividly remember just sitting there crying when he opened the door door while he has equally specific memories of me showing up next to his bed so to this day who or what took my hand and walked me downstairs is anyone's guess in high school I was babysitting for a single mom and her two kids it was the middle of winter and when I arrived it was already pitch blackout it was around 6 p. m.
she lived in a duplex while I was standing in the living room with her and her girls talking about how the rest of the night would go a little boy in full snow gear came in through her front door stopped through the living room past us and headed down the stairs to the basement the mom never even looked at him or stopped talking the girls didn't make any acknowledgment that they saw him I was really weirded out but I was always an extremely introverted teenager so I didn't ask the mom what was up once the mom left I asked the girls who the little boy was that came in and they both had no idea what I was talking about so I got Brave and grabbed a broom and headed downstairs it was a small unfinished basement one single room with no closets or anything anything no one was down there and the little boy definitely had not come back upstairs in that time it was so so weird and the only time I've truly believed that I experienced something paranormal I normally scoff at ghost stories and that kind of stuff when I was a kid around 7 years old I was in my mom's Hometown so it was time to sleep at around 9:00 p. m. I remember my mom laying on a carpet and two pillows outside so that we could sleep and look at the stars while enjoying the fresh air I slept and then woke up in the middle of the night I was alone and couldn't find my mom her pillow wasn't even there or the carpet I ran to the door and it was locked from inside I started knocking on the door harder my grandpa's room is very close to the door so he came and opened the door he asked what I was doing out there but I just kept asking him where my mom was she was asleep on the couch in the living room all the other rooms were occupied lots of relatives living in the same house my grandpa told me that my mom had been sleeping on the couch since since 9:00 p.
m.
