Ooooooooh, excellent ghost story.

I got one for you all.

We had recently moved over seas. My daughter was about 2.5 years old.

About two weeks after moving in, she kept talking about the "lady" in her room. The lady said this or that.

We though it was a little strange but chalked it up to too much Scooby Doo. We decided w wouldn't ask about it, make a big deal or pay it much attention.

So, it seemed to sort of die down for the most part.

My husband flew home for a wedding and my daughter and I stayed behind. We were up one night and I was hemming curtains. I stopped to take a break to go to the bathroom. My daughter was dancing around, playing like 3 year olds do and suddenly, she stops and says, "Momma, you know you don't need to be afraid". I said, "Afraid of what?"She didn't answer, kept playing and dancing. I asked her again, "Afraid of what". All the while I am thinking, "Ahhh, mannn"

She says, "The lady, she says you don't need to be afraid".

I said, trying to look calm, Oh, can you see the lady now?"

She said, "She's right behind me, can't you see her".

I was completely freaked out.I quickly packed up everything and went to bed, hid under the covers, LOL. She never brought it up again.
