It was. I have so many scary stories.
Here’s another.
When my brother and I were kids, I was 12 maybe 13, so he would have been 8 or 9, our parents left us home alone and I was out on the family computer & my brother was in his room playing the video game & all of a sudden, he walks out to where I was and he was pale & looked terrified. I was confused because my brother has never been the one to get scared easily, even to this day, and I asked what was wrong & he was like “did you see the girl run by the window?” And I was like “huh?” And he told me while was playing his video game, he saw a girl with braided hair run by his window and towards our porch. He refused to go back to his room until I walked outside and checked the whole backyard (and we have a huge backyard) to make sure no one was there. So after I did, I came back & told him there was no signs of anyone being there and there were no footprints indicating that someone ran by but he was still terrified & begged me to sit with him in his room until our mom got home.
