• You may not belive in ghost, goblins and monsters. But I do, and after this frightening tale you might change your mind. The day seemed normal to me as another boring day slipped past with out a word. But the day was not over, it was getting dark and my parents were not home from work, and my sister had a sleep over at a friends house. I was alone and would be for the next few hours. I settled in on the couch and began a movie, hoping be the time it was over my parents would be home. The commercials started and were playing for a little bit when the screen went to picture with the colored bars, and after that nothing. The tv shut off. I went up to it to check it or see if I could fix it. Looking up at the black screen I saw a figure standing behind the couch I was sitting at, but the figure had no real features to its face. It was just a big black shadow in the outline of a person! Turning a around the figure was gone vanished it to thin air as though it were never even there!
    The movie resumed and I let out a small shriek of suprise as it started behind me. I walked across the room and waved my hand around the spot the figure had been, but still I sat on the other couch straight across from it. I though it was just a shadow from outside or something. Or at least thats what I wanted to believe.
    For some reason the sleepy felling I felt hit me like a truck hitting a deer. Hard and fast. I fell asleep on the couch with the movie still playing and the lights still on! When I awoke I was covered with a blanket, the movie was off, and the light were dimmed. I figured my parents most be home. I got up and walked to the kitchen to check the time on the microwave. It read 2:58 am. I started walking to my bed and notice that there was still a light on in my parents bedroom across the hall. I walked in and the sight I saw still haunts me to this day. It would haunt you too if you saw the mutilated bodies of your parents strewn across the floor. A foot here, a hand there, their heads sitting on the pillows of their bed. On the bed was a note, with tear filled eyes I read the note, this is what it said. "You really should know who lives behind your couch"!
    I walked into the living room and with all my might I pulled the couch out to the middle of the room and walked behind it. There lying as still as can be the dead body of a man left behind cover with cement incasing the body! my heart stopped right the and there and I collapsed! The cops came, and left carrying the bodies of me and my parents and the one of the dead man behind the couch! I watch them go, a hand rested on my shoulder I turned around to see the kind loving faces of my parents!

    I told you ghosts were real!
