Pinch

My name is Alinah-Jo, and I never believed in ghosts until one day at school, me and my friends were talking about their ghostly experiences. I didn't believe in ghosts and I was getting tired of hearing things I didn't think were true, so I went to the bathroom. I heard a little girl sniffing. I asked if she was ok but no one answered, which I thought was strange. That night, I went on my computer to check out the ghost web sites and as I was reading some disturbing ghost stories, someone or something pinched me on the arm. I thought it was my little brother and I looked, but no one was there. I kept on reading, a little bit scared. Then something or someone, as I said, leaned over me and I felt a small gust of wind, small enough to be someone breathing. I thought it couldn't have been a ghost because they don't breathe.

I was shaking and then the door slammed, but it was my older sister and I quickly jumped off the computer. She noticed me shaking and asked what was wrong. I told her everything that happened today. She told me not to worry because she was there with me. She told me to try and think of something happy, but every time I got something happy in my head, it just turned to what had just happened. Now, after what had happened that day, I believe in ghosts and choose not to talk about what had happened when we talk about ghost things at school. But I still can't understand what that sobbing was in the toilets that day.

Please tell it may have just been a kid in the toilets. I saw every door was open as I went out.
