READERS TALES
Little
Boy Blue!
This happened in 1993, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I was in
11th grade, getting ready to cheer for the first time at the big homecoming football game.
I was getting ready at a friends house. She was upstairs making some goulash to
eat. I was in her bedroom in the basement. When you enter the basement, you first go into
a family room. There is a pool table room ahead of you; off to the right is the
laundry room. My friend's room is next to a small bathroom at the end of the laundry
room.
I was sitting in front of the mirror curling my hair, when
in the doorway along the same wall as the mirror, I saw a little boy peeking around the
door at me in the corner of my eye. I thought it was my friend's little brother
Sam. I said, "Sam, knock it off." This happened four more times,
with my telling Sam to leave me alone. After the fifth time I became concerned about
seeing this, and I ran out and looked in all of the other rooms, but didn't find Sam.
So I ran upstairs to see if Sam was there. I asked my
friend where he was, and she said Sam was watching TV. I asked if he has been there the
whole time and she said yes. I started trembling because I knew that what I had seen
wasn't just my mind playing tricks on me. The ghost looked like he was glowing and the
only color I could really make out were these amazing blue eyes.
I told my friend that I wouldn't go back down there until
she came with me. So she brought her goulash downstairs so I could finish getting ready. I
was almost all done when I saw the little boy again. This time I stood there for awhile
just looking. He then vanished. I got really scared again and sat down on her bed. My
friend started yelling at me to "Get up! Get up!" I had sat in her plate
of goulash! It was all over my cheerleading uniform, and I had to be at the game in less
than an hour!
...I never saw the little boy again....
