This is a short one as it happened so fast: I was in my parents' house and felt a presence coming from their upstairs bedroom. I decided, despite my fear, to investigate. As I escalated the spiral wooden staircase toward the bedroom, I felt a sense of terror wash over me. After reaching the top of the staircase, I turned the corner and looked into the bedroom. It was too dark to see, despite the light shining from the staircase light. In the doorway stood a little girl. Her hait was ash blonde and cut in a bob style. She was wearing a beige slim fit tshirt. She was in profile, but her head was facing the darkness. I grabbed her arm and tried to pull her out, but there was a strong resistance. Despite me feeling a chill, her arm was warm to the touch. She rapidly turned her head and stared into my soul. I noticed she had no eyes, but rather to dark voids where they should have been. I got a massive fright, screamed in silence and pushed her into the room after which she disappeared. I quickly ran down the stairs and turned around to face the staircase. Almost immediately after turning, I heard small footsteps running down the stairs. I braced myself, expecting her to appear around the bend. Instead a little boy appeared. He was wearing white winter pajamas decorated in small train locomotives and no shoes. The collar, wrist- and ankle elastics were navy blue. His short hair was blonde and wavy and his eyes were blue. He stared at me without walking any further than the bend. In the blink of an eye his eyes went from blue to pitch black. This was accompanied by a scolding shriek that seemed to last forever. I decided to run toward him and he ran up the stairs faster than I could ever explain. The presence in the bedroom at the top of the stairs prevented me from moving any farther than the first step of the stairs and my body and mind was filled with immense fear. This fear caused me to wake up in a trembling state, seeking a light source immediately.
