I had never been a believer in ghosts or supernatural entities. But that all changed one night when I found myself face to face with something beyond explanation. It was an experience that would haunt me for the rest of my life.
Hi, I am Ryan Michael and I am sharing this story with Writinglobal. This story is based on a real encounter.
I lived alone in my house in Montana because both my parents died before I turned 20. I am not someone who gets scared easily, that is why I never bothered about anything awkward going around me. But this one encounter changed my entire life. It happened to me on a warm summer night; I was sitting in my living room watching my favorite show when I heard a knock at the door. I got up to answer it, but when I opened the door, there was no one there.
At first, I thought it was just a prank, but then I heard the knock again. This time, I was sure it was coming from inside the house.
So… I walked around the living room, trying to pinpoint the source of the sound. That’s when I noticed a strange breeze that seemed to be coming from nowhere. It was like a cold draft blowing through the room, and I could feel the hair on the back of my neck standing up.
And yes, That’s when I saw her, a shadow present in the corner of the room, it looked like a woman’s shadow and she was dressed in an old-fashioned gown. I went closer…
Because I could not understand if it was real or what?
All of a sudden I could see her…
Yes, she was quite visible. I could actually see that entity although the face was a bit blur… Her skin was pale as a ghost.

I tried to speak, but my words were stuck in my throat.
That woman or whatever the thing was began to move closer to me, and I could feel a chill run down my spine. I tried to run, but my legs felt like they were made of lead. That’s when she started make moaning sounds, her voice echoing through the room but the words were not clear. She said something that I could not understand but it was enough to scare me to death.
I was almost dead. She started sweeping across the room and I saw the shadow growing as it moved away.. It was such a terrifying moment that I can’t explain. I was saying a silent prayer… I wanted it to end and I wish I could say that I opened my eyes and it was all gone. But No! It was not a nightmare. The woman started making creepy sounds as if she was moaning.
I ran out of the room almost dead to see all that.
Uncle Jackson lives in my neighbourhood so I ran to him.
He opened the door and was very upset to see me like this.. I was out of my wits. He asked me what was wrong and I just fainted without even explaining anything to him.
The next morning, when I woke up, I felt pain in my neck. Uncle was there by my side and asked me to explain all what happened to me last night.
I told him that I saw a woman, more like a shadow of a woman. Nothing was clear but she was crying and this is all I could hear. He asked a few people in the neighborhood if anyone else had encountered something like that but everyone said there was nothing paranormal ever seen in their houses.
The thing more upsetting for me was how everyone around the neighborhood started suggesting that I needed a psychiatrist. They thought I was living alone and maybe I was missing my parents.. They said I was getting depressed and that is why I was seeing things that didn’t exist.

I then decided to leave that place as soon as as I could.
That was the first and last time I ever encountered a supernatural entity. But I know that there are things out there that we can’t explain, things that we can’t comprehend. And I know that they’re still out there, waiting for someone to cross their path.
