My cousin , I'll call her Marie, had moved in with my family when we were both very young. We would play together, sleep in the same bed and everything like that. I never thought we would share a very strange and weird experiance together.

One evening during the summer, we were both sitting in my parents bed talking about something (can't remember too well what it was). Suddenly we both froze when we saw a small imp/troll like figure in the hallway. I remember what it looks like as if it had just happened. It had a stocky build, about 2-3 ft high, big head, and a brown dirty monk type of robe that also had a hood that shadowed the face. We were both freaking at this point and huddled together for security. But as we turned back to the hallway it was gone. This wasn't the end of it. I, for some reason, looked over the edge of the bed and saw one of those things crawling under and Marie saw one standing in the doorway to the bathroom. It was no glimpse of it crawling under I might add. I was staring right at it's wiggling feet as it dissappeared underneath us. This really scared the bejesus out of us. Just the thought of one of those things under the bed prevented us from running after our parents, afraid that we would be pulled under. So as kids would do, we threw the blankets over our heads and held eachother until we finally fell asleep.

Other weird things also happened in that house. As in it felt as though you were being watched. Once I was putting on my shoes outside the garage door and had the sudden feeling that something was behind me, just watching me. I panicked and ran out into the road and finished putting on my shoes, never taking my eyes off of the garage door. I suppose I was afraid of something chasing after me *shrug*.

Also there were other strange sightings. As long as I can remember I use to bathe and brush my hair in my parents bathroom. Well one day while I was brushing my hair at my parents dresser. I looked into the mirror only to see a tall black figure standing right behind me. Of course being a child I threw down the brush and hauled a$$ out of there.

Finally my family decided to move out of the house which I had grown up in. The months before we were to move the house suddenly and unexpectidly became infested with fleas, ants, roaches, mice.. pretty much everything icky you can imagine. I'm guessing that either the "ghosts" wanted us to leave or were upset that we were moving. I'm not sure and don't really wanna find out.

To this day I still have very terrifying nightmares about that house. I'm hoping that the new occupants aren't having any troubles with it.
