My Spring Break

So while everyone else got to run off to fantastic vacation spots, I was here, working 40 hours at the animal shelter and cat sitting 3 different cats. I don't want to see another animal for about 3 months. Alas, I have to work today so my dream can't come true. Anywho....so in the few hours of free time I got between work and bed, I read for this class. I finished The Shadow Year and Heart-Shaped Box. I was not fond of the former, but absolutely loved the latter. Of all the books this semester, Heart-Shaped Box freaked me out the most. All in all, it's a ghost story. A very good one, at that. While reading, I was convinced I kept seeing ghosts/people in my apartment. Those turned out to be a stack of boxes that my mind altered in the dark. But when I was cat sitting, I had to stay in their houses. I was at one of the last ones on Friday night watching tv on the couch. From their couch, there is a perfect view of the doorway that leads to the hall with the bedrooms. I was in the middle of sending a text when I saw a tall male figure walk by that doorway towards the bedroom. I have never in my life been so freaked out by something. Not only was it not some object that I thought looked like a man, it was moving. I eventually convinced myself to get off the couch and search every room. I saw nothing. So apparently, after that and feeling something on my bed after reading The Haunting of Hill House, I have a weak psyche or something. Thought that would interest you all :D

The fact that you stayed in that house proves you're much braver than me. Did you mention anything to the owners about whether they have seen him before too?

Oh no I was too afraid of looking like a complete fool by saying something :)
