The Things I See

For as long as I can remember I've seen things that others don't seem to see. The first I remember was when I was about 6 or 7. I was watching a movie and I had paused it to go to the restroom. I was eager to get back to the movie so I didn't close the bathroom door all the way. I was almost done when I turned my head to the right and saw what looked sort of like the backside of a big wolf walking past the doorway and into the room next to the bathroom. I was freaked out but I just thought it was my dog but when I looked in the room I didn't see it and when asked no one had seen the dog move.

The next one I remember happened when I was about 9. I was riding home from a soccer game when I looked out the window to my left and saw a small girl standing on the side of the road. She wore a long white overcoat thing. It looked sort of like a night shirt or something such as that. The same year I was walking down my road to get the trashcans from the corner of our road. I looked down at the corner when I saw a figure come into view. It was a man, but he wore the same kind of gown that the girl wore. This was the last time I saw them for a couple of years (I'm fourteen now).

Then one day I was in Kansas City helping my relatives move and I kept hearing what sounded like someone talking on the phone but no one else was there. Then a about a week later I woke up to hear movement in the hallway beside the room where I slept. It sounded like heavy footsteps. Three or so days later I was awoken in the middle of the night and I saw figures moving around the bed and through the doors there was three children, several elderly people, and two middle aged people. Two of the old people were tall and thin and one was short and fat. Another was about average size. One of adults was short and fat and the other was taller and slightly skinnier. I didn't see the kids all that clearly. At first I though I was dreaming but then I realized I wasn't. I watched them for a little while then they turned and spoke to me. They asked me if I understood and could help them out. The next day I was alone at a relatives house and all day long I heard a loud banging noise coming form the doors.

Several other things have happened that I may tell of later. I know I'm not just imagining these things.
