The Ghost Kid

Author: Claire

This incident happened when I was at the 3rd Grade means I was 8 years old. So I was with my aunt, my cousin who is younger than me and my grandparents. Since my cousin is the only one who I can play with, I decided to prank her while she was on the bathroom. She was 5 years old that time so her mother always tell her to keep the bathroom door opened so that when something happen, whether she slipped or what her mother can enter the bathroom fast. So my prank started when she was having a shower. I ran close to the bathroom and close the lights. She screamed and I was laughing quietly. And then I opened the lights again and this time, I closed the door. I was so naughty that time. She screamed again and I closed the lights that make her scream louder. I opened the lights and open the door and saw her face close to crying while I’m laughing loudly and saying “it was just me.” She finished taking a bath and now it’s my turn. Before I take a bath I use the toilet first and then when I was already done, the door opened by it self. I didn’t care about it at first and thinking of It was just my cousin playing revenge on me so I washed up and close the door again and took a shower. But then when I was covering myself with towel, the door opened by itself again and I saw a little girl with messy hair running. I called out my cousin and asked if she was it but she said no. As soon as I got dressed I talk to her mother and asked if she was playing prank on me but her mother said she was there at her side all the time. It made me freak out but I try to forget it. 2 years have passed and we moved out because we have a house which is far from that house. I was relief when we moved out because I didn’t experience weird things again but one day, I was alone at our house. Yes, me alone. And at the window I saw the same girl I saw 2 years ago watching me and she run when she saw me looking at her. Since this day, I still remember that incident.
