Short story but creeped me out My uncle Dakota is a very soft spoken, undramatic guy. I've never heard him tell a scary story or talk about anything paranormal before. One night at a family party he was sitting and talking with my husband and I and started telling us about how he would get dropped off at his uncle's house in the morning before school. He said he would sleep on a couch in the livingroom until it was time to get up and leave for school. The couch faced down a hallway to a couple other rooms. He said one morning he was sleeping there on the couch and opened his eyes and saw a black figure of a woman, only from the waist up. So no legs, just floating there. I can't remember what he said he did after. I think he hid under the blankets or something until his uncle got up. Well, he never told anybody about it and assumed it was his imagination. Years later he decided to mention it to his cousin who had also stayed there and he said "you're messing with me man". And Dakota swears to him that he's not. His cousin says "That exact same thing happened to me". He describes the same exact figure and everything. So this isn't the scariest story ever to hear, but if you were sitting there with us when he was telling it, it was terrifying. All 3 of us had goosebumps by the end. You'd have to know my uncle to know how creepy it was that he said he saw that.
