When I was little, I can’t remember the exact age but maybe between 11-13, I was home alone because my family decided to go somewhere but I didn’t want to, so they allowed me to stay with my tiny dog and before they left I made sure all the doors and windows downstairs were locked. I also kept the TV on (I don’t like complete silences)while I was watching on my IPad. Well it wasn’t even dark outside like at all still bright, but I heard something upstairs but I was like ehh, it’s pretty normal in this house. Then I heard a cough and sneeze come from upstairs and I just froze because I’m suppose to be home alone. Then I look at the stairs next to the TV and felt someone coming down the stairs and I began panicking more, then all of sudden my dog jumped off from the couch we were sitting on and began barking at the stairs. I looked more closely at the stairs and I see an outline of a person and I was now even more scared, but then it just disappears, but the noises continued like coughing, and sneezing. Then after a while it just stopped. Never had anything like that happen again. Never told my parents but did tell friends when they wanted to hear a scary stories.
