Today, I was heading to the bathroom when I clearly saw a little boy walking into my bedroom. My wife and I live alone, and I screamed at the top of my lungs, thinking he was a ghost. Turns out my wife collected him from school for a friend, and I just didn't hear them arrive. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I came home late from work. As I got out of my car, I noticed a child-shaped silhouette in my bedroom window. I almost shat myself, since I live alone. I searched the whole house, sobbing in fear, only to find no trace of whatever or whoever I'd seen. FML
Today, I went downstairs a little after midnight to grab a snack, and in the dark hallway, I clearly saw a small child walk into the kitchen. I was freaked out, but I followed him in. There was nobody in the room. I'm now too scared to sleep, and am seriously considering moving house. FML
Today, I was visiting my friend's new house and he was showing me around. I saw a small door in the wall and decided to open it. When I opened it, his daughter was hiding in there and screamed to scare me. Now I know my scream is more high pitched than his daughter's. I'm a 37 year old male. FML
Today, I was home alone. I didn't expect anyone to be anywhere near home, so when I got out of the shower, I walked to the living room, naked, to get the tv remote for my room. Only to find the UPS guy standing at our glass front door. I screamed... so did he. FML
Today, I walked into my near pitch-black bathroom and saw a person staring back at me. I woke my whole family up with my screams. The person was my reflection. FML
Today, I was woken up by the sound of someone in my room. I started freaking out, thinking someone had broken in, so I kicked them, only to realise it was my boyfriend coming back from the toilet. I'd forgotten he was staying over. FML
Today, I woke up to a stranger in my bed. Just as my parents responded to my screaming, I remembered that I'd helped my boyfriend sneak in through my window last night. FML
Today, I was walking to the kitchen in the dark. Something caught my eye and I turned to see a man standing in the corner, clear as day. I jumped and closed my eyes for a split second. When I opened them, he was nowhere to be seen. I'm now terrified to live in my own home. FML
Today, after waiting to get home to go to the bathroom, my six year old neighbor popped out and literally scared the shit out of me. FML
Today, my 10-year-old son told my 5-year-old daughter that we're a ghost family, and told her to run through our glass door to see for herself. She believed it, ran straight into the door, and ended up having to be taken to hospital. FML

I would've done the same thing. I've seen to many scary movies to know a little young boy in your house is a bad sign.

Your first thought was that he was a ghost? What century do you live in?

Spoilers: Op is actually the one that's a ghost. He had been haunting this house for centuries but can't remember because he has Alzheimer.

Oh yeah ghosts have no place in the 21st Century. Someone should remind the producers of Ghost Hunters et al that their shows are outdated. Seriously?

Yeah, believing in spirits and an afterlife is a thought that belongs in the 19th century, right? I guess all horror stories involving ghosts and Casper should go bye-bye, huh?

#65-- Ghosts aren't real.

I am sincerely interested to find out how that is relevant! Please explain.

#96, I never once said "ghosts are real" (my comment to #40 was about trying to prove something when you have no proof whatsoever), in fact I refuse to give out my beliefs here. Don't try to tarnish other peoples beliefs. Let everyone else be their own person.

Who knows... Maybe ghosts are real, and maybe they're not... Who's to say?

Fair enough if a person believes in ghosts. However, it is strange no matter WHAT your beliefs that your first thought is "Ghost" instead of a robber or lost kid.

You implied that belief in ghosts in modern times (as opposed to said belief in the 19th century) is valid. However, there is no evidence of ghosts, and much evidence to the contrary. I pointed out that ghosts aren't real because belief in fairy tales is something that modern people are slowly growing out of, as opposed to people who lived in the 19th century. Therefore belief in things that are contrary to science IS belief that belongs in the 19th century. I pointed out that ghosts aren't real because your statement implied either that modern people have as little knowledge of science as 19th century people OR that there is a possibility (in this case meaning any evidence whatsoever) that ghosts exist, both of which are false premises.

If he was wearing a school boy outfit, I probably would gave pissed my pants. Ever see Insidious? First thing I thought of. Then I laughed.
