The story I will tell you is a short one, but believe me, its plenty scary!

A few weeks ago, I was hospitalised for a minor operation. While recovering, the bed they assigned me was way at the end of the ward, where it was quieter.

I was supposed to stay there a few days. But, only a couple of nights after my operation, I saw something that made me never want to come back there again, let alone stay there!

You see, on the 2nd night, I couldn't sleep for some reason, so I just lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling. Suddenly, from the corner of my eye, I saw one of the shadows on the wall move. I thought someone in the ward was another non-sleeper like me, so I turned to see who it was. I saw no one though, so I turned back to the wall, thinking  had maybe made a mistake.

I made a mistake alright! It wasn't anyone's shadow that was moving. What I saw moving was what seemed to be a shadow person! Seriously! I saw the shadow move OUT of the wall, getting a more 3-dimensional shape.

It came towards me! I was so scared, I thought I would pee in my pants! I could see it reaching out towards me. It put its hands around my neck and proceeded to try and strangle me!

Well, I was thinking I wasn't about to die without a fight. I put my hands on its arms, to try and push it off. At that moment, the person/shadow just disappeared. It didn't fade away, or run away or anything. It just...disappeared. the moment I put my hands on it.

Let me tell you, I didn't get much sleep that night!

I can imagine! I mean, you must have been wondering whether it would come back, WHAT was it in the first place and all. But you know, its strange. In my 'readings', I've come across other people who encountered these shadow people. Maybe its something that's common all around the world? Oh, and by the way, this our first hospital story! Let me tell you, I LOVE hospital stories. Hospitals are just so...creepy! They're full of history - history that's full of pain and death. Brrr!
