White Outlines

Sorry if the story is too long, this has been happening my whole life.

Ever since I can remember I have seen what I can only describe as ghosts following me but lately I have felt it could have been something more (that's another story). I used to dream of scary things coming to get me or taking me somewhere and it has always scared me and messed with me. My mum has always thought of me as having some sort of ability that makes me tap into these things and she believes I should let them in and help them, but I am too terrified.

My mum told me I have always been able to see things but the first experience I can personally remember was living on my grandfather's farm when I was maybe 7 or 8 and we were looking after his home. I shared a room with my sister and the bed was parallel to the sliding doors leading outside, and every night I would wake up in the middle of the night to see 3 figures standing at the door walking towards me, but as they got closer they would disappear from the feet up until it was just their heads floating not far from my own.

These figures were almost invisible except that I could just see a white outline around their entire body and I could see outlines of eyes, mouth and nose but I could see completely through them. They had no clothes and and no body features apart from their faces, so I couldn't have known if they were male or female except for that their faces all looked male with the same blank look on their face. Not smiling, frowning or looks of emotion, just blank faces staring at me so they weren't relatively scary.

They would come every single night until we moved onto our own farm, I would've been around 8 or 9. I then shared a room with both of my sisters and the bed was still parallel to the sliding doors leading to a veranda that was off the ground. They stopped coming for a while after we moved but then I started seeing just one again. It was the same thing, with the same blank look, coming towards me disappearing from the feet up until its head was at mine.

Again, this happened every single night but some nights were more terrifying than others. On one occasion, I had woken to feel that my leg was dangling off the side of the bed. Not thinking anything of it, I left it there, only to feel something cold grab my leg.

On other nights, I would see these things but they would look different, like someone I knew but that didn't happen very often. I was eventually so scared I resorted to sleeping with my head covered every night until we moved.

We moved across state and it all stopped. I thought it was over, I was finally able to sleep normally without waking to see these things. Up until we moved into a new house, which I thought was fine (would of been 12-13 years old) until one night I was just sitting in my room with the light on when I felt something crawling up my bed. When I looked, what I remember was seeing that same figure except, this one was crawling on my bed and not walking towards me. I felt that it had followed me across the country...

I'm 17 now and I still feel as if something has been with me this entire time. Maybe it has been with me since being born. If, according to my mum, I've been talking about these things since I could talk... It scares me to even think about it.

There's a lot of other stories to post. But they will have to wait until the next time.
