Two years ago, my mom and dad left me at home alone and went to do some work. There was a sudden power cut and I heard something shout and screech in the kitchen. I was trembling with fear. I tried to comfort myself and gathered some courage. I walked towards the area from where I heard the shout. While walking towards that place I felt something behind me.
I turned around and thankfully didn’t find anyone. Afraid, I ran towards the kitchen.
I saw a shadow of a lady cooking. But there was no one to be seen. I stood there for a few minutes and finally the lights came on. But yet, I could not awaken from that moment. Whatever, I saw there will be on my mind forever.
