Ghostly Child Handmarks
Missy, an
eleven year old girl, is rushing to back her knacksack for a night with her
friend’s house for the night.
Missy’s
mother was still working so her father had to pick her up to spend a night at a
friend’s place. It was already past 7pm when they finally arrived at the house
with her father busy getting Missy’s stuff from their car. Missy’s friend and
mom were already waiting for her in the front porch.
The night in
the neighbourhood was quiet dark and windy the streetlights were poorly lit. As
Missy was getting out their car she casually looked at the darken neighbourhood
and could barely make out a little girl in a white dress standing beside a
tree. The tree was located at the opposite of the neighbourhood road from her
father’s car.
Missy turned
and pointed at the girl to her father and asked, “Who’s that little girl?” Her
father, already late for his appointment, angrily muttered, “Don’t be a busybody!”
Missy’s friend and her mom arrived at their car to say their “hullos”. Missy’s
father thanked them for allowing his daughter to spend a night at their house.
Later when Missy
and her friend were lying in bed talking about school and boys when they heard
a constant irritating scratchy sound from their upper bedroom. Curious and
giggling they decided to get out of bed and crept to the bedroom window. Looking
out in the darkness which was only dimly lighted and the windy conditions that
night they could not see much.
