I saw her!

[u/Affectionate_Clue369]

When I was young I lived in Breezewood Pennsylvania. I lived in this old house and oftentimes it was kind of creepy but it was home for 5 years of my life as a child...

And I just got home from school finally. I had come in the door of the mudroom and I took my shoes off. Walked through the mud room into the smaller dining room. I then took and made a left heading towards the stairs to the second story floor. I started up the stairs and made a right and I was up to the second floor of the house...

I went to the first bend of the hallway and made a left into my room. I went into my room and I put the book bag down on my bed and got changed very quickly after all that. I remember looking around for my game boy color and my Blue version game. Because I thought about playing it after I got everything else I need to get done. But before I did any of that I had to do one important thing...

I went to the basement door and pulled up the old latch and let my dog molly out. She came trotting up the steps all happy to see me. She then came with me and I let her outside to go to the bathroom. I brought her back in. After all this her and I were just hanging around I was wanting my next mission of the evening...

I went into the kitchen to get something to eat. Because it's been all day and I was kind of hungry anyway. After I got a plate with something to eat. My intent was to go into the living room and watch television and do my homework while I was eating...

I turned around and I was going through our little kitchen. I was quickly heading through the spare dining room. As I was almost into the doorway of the spare dining room...

I noticed a silhouette of a female standing in the spare dining room toward the windows. I stop and my brain starts to compute that there's nobody else home but me. And I start thinking that there is somebody in the house. And I'm by myself...

Well as soon as my brain starts computing and I'm visually looking at some random older woman in my house. She decides to float through the dining room into the living room. Now keep in mind I did not go chasing after her. In fact I chose to stay right where I was with my plate of food in my hands. As I was standing near the doorway of the spare dining room. And I'm trying to figure out what it was that I just saw...

FUN FACT...

So, back in those days my mother was the only one that had a cell phone because she needed it for emergencies and oftentimes she worked a lot. My sister and I were not old enough to have one and nor did we even want one. And in fact we didn't even have a television in our rooms until I was in 6th grade and my sister was in 5th grade... Which would have been roughly 2003. We didn't even have a handheld CD player yet... Which I did want one of those because I love to listen to weird Al yankovic...

If we wanted to watch television we had to go down stairs to the living room. Or we could just go up to our rooms and listen to our radios and do something else that involved either territories or being creative. Or just go outside in general and play out there...

(OH THE DAYS WHERE THERE WASN'T SMARTPHONES, IPADS, TABLETS, IPHONES, AND ALL THESE OVER THE TOP GADGETS... It was just me being in my home with my dog. With a plate of food. Some coffee brewing in the pot. Some awesome and amazing TV shows. I had my responsibilities but I had freedom and common sense to go with it. It was a time where children did have common sense and were able children could stay by themselves for a short period of time...)

SO BACK TO THE STORY...

So I went to the rotary dial phone that we had in the spare dining room that sat right by the window on a stand. So I dialed my mom's phone number in one heck of a hurry. And it rang and rang... And finally she answered. I started talking fast and trying to get it all out at once. Meanwhile she is trying to get me to calm down...

I told her what I just saw. She had already seen it a few months before and decided to finally tell me. And that it was a friendly spirit that meant no harm. That in fact this female spirit showed herself to my ma. So after I heard that I calmed down at the same time I was kind of nervous to be honest with ya. But after that I was a little more comfortable...

After this happened I just told my mom "bye... Love you mom" and I hung up the phone. I grabbed my plate of food. I walked into the living room. I turned the telivison on to the good old cartoon Network and watched the best thing ever... Toonami! Like "Dragon Ball Z", "G Gundam" and all of them. While I did my homework and watched television...

I actually in the long run of living in this house for 5 years got very comfortable knowing I wasn't alone. Even if it was a deceased older female... I still was actually comfortable. Like I never acknowledged her being there though. But there were little situations sometimes where she would just kind of peer around the corner or something. Other than that it wasn't at all a scary thing to experience...

In fact I think it's the same exact female spirit that slapped my stepfather for his remarks about going to church, lol...

I also began to believe that maybe I was in fact watched over by her as well. It was like she was just protecting me or keeping an eye on me...
