Eye's of Darkness

 
This is my story (it's long), and I will swear it's true until the end of time.  I've always believed in ghosts and spirits, and have been creeped out on uncountable occasions - feeling someone watching when nobody's there, seeing things in the middle of the table when I'm sure I put them on the corner...this is nothing new to me. The time I actually saw my first ghost was something new, and it scared the living daylights out of me. It's now 8 years later, and I can still remember it clearly enough to get creeped out all over again. To start, I was at my best friend's house, and let me just say that my friend's family background is Lakota Sioux Indian, and she and her mom are no strangers to wierd occurrences around the house. Her mom has told some pretty incredible stories about ghosts and Indian Spirits that she's seen.

When I was 15, my best friend and I were sitting in her room just off of the garage. There was her doorway (no door), a stairway up to the living room (the door at the top of that was closed), and directly across from her doorway was a white (closed) door that led into the garage. It was sort of laid out like an H, if you can picture it. Anyway, her bed was against the wall facing the doorway, and we were talking about the things we'd been hearing earlier in the day. We were the only ones home, and while watching tv earlier, the unplugged toaster had decided to pop it's handle up and down and the glasses were rattling in the cabinets. I was freaked out, and we'd decided to go downstairs to her room. We were sitting on her bed for about 1/2 an hour, and I was finally calming down and forgetting about being
scared. She was a lot calmer than I was, and it was helping. It was a sunny day out, and I was sitting in a beam of sunlight that was filtering through the curtains onto the bed. It started to fade and get a little chilly, so I looked at the window and, because of the way I was facing, had to turn my head past her doorway. I never got to the window. I don't think I've ever been so scared or screamed as loud as I did when I saw what was in the doorway. He had darker skin, was really tall, almost to the top of the doorway - I could just see the top of it over his hat. I could also faintly see the door through him. He was dressed in old fashioned clothes (no history expert, I'm guessing late 1800-really early 1900's) - he had on a dark coat, pants, and muddy boots that were kind of hard to see the details on. What did stand out were his white shirt, string bow tie and flat brimmed that. He was just standing there, filling the doorway, his arms flat at his sides. His hair was silvery gray and stringy under his hat. It came down just to the top of his square shoulders. The worst part was his face. He had this square jaw and his mouth was pulled down in a scowl that looked nothing
but menacing and he was facing me. His eyes were fixed right on me, and I  swear they were nothing but black. If they were any color, I couldn't see it or the whites. Just dark. I closed my eyes, and grabbed for my friend, who had gone really pale, and was staring at him too. By the time I opened my eyes again (which felt like forever but was probably only seconds), he was gone. She grabbed my hand and literally had to yank me to the doorway and up the stairs so that we could get out of the house. Ordinarily, I'd have been the first one out, only we had to pass the same spot where he was standing.

We got outside, and I was so scared, I just broke down and cried. It felt,,, evil. Since then, I've only caught glimpses of what may or may not be ghosts, but I've never had that feeling of hate accompanying them. I hope I never do again.
