The woman in the white dress
I was staying with my mum in Canada for a few weeks, along with a couple of aunts, cousins and friends. One night they told me they wanted to get a break from all the chaos and asked me to babysit for their kids for like an hour or two. I accepted and they left.
I put cartoons on for the kids while I cooked dinner,
I was in the kitchen,(in the basement with the kids) when I heard the garage door open up. It hadn't even been an hour yet so I just thought they might have forgotten, something like that. But I had to check anyway so I walked out and called out for them but I didn’t hear anything, so I went out and checked the garage, and yet the car was still gone and the garage door wasn't opened or anything so I just figured it was just the next door neighbours or the t.v show the kids were watching.
We ate dinner in the family room basement and were still watching TV, when suddenly there was super bad static and the TV turned off, along with the overhead lights, the only lights that didn’t go out were the upstairs.The kids and I were pretty freaked out by this so I told them it was just probably out electricity we went upstairs, and I felt a draft, I looked out at the garage door and it was wide open along with the garage door itself.So I of course thought it was someone in the house.
I went and checked all the bed-rooms. Nothing, suddenly the power went on again, along with the T.V. I thought it was really weird how those could have gone out if they hadn't died or run out of electricity or anything and have and have all the rest of the house lights on. I was sitting down, kind of uneasy, I was just watching the stair rail making sure nothing happened, and then I saw a figure run by so fast I only caught a glance of it.
I called my mum and told her. I knew someone was there and I'd see someone. I got off the phone and dialled 911 just in case I needed to. When I got to the top of the stairs I heard the kids scream that the light went to the top of the stairs I heard the kids scream that the lights went off again. I was really worried but I had to check and make sure everything was okay upstairs. It went black up there too. But with one light downstairs still on I could see a shadow of someone.
The lights went back on a second after I saw the figure then it disappeared. I walked down the stairs halfway and when I got there, someone was sitting there. It was an old woman. She had white hair, she was in a white nightgown. She was shaking. I was so scared and didn’t want the kids to be startled because she had already seemed so scared so I leaned forward and at the same time she jumped up and screamed ‘Please leave us alone!’ The kids heard too and I backed away and she ran out and down the hallway and was gone.
After a few months I started thinking about the woman and becoming concerned about her and would like to try to help but i’m worried it’ll make things worse.
