Especially when jarred out of sleep by the doorbell or phone and you’re running through the house with this numb, paralyzed arm flapping about.

I saw a ghost when I was about 19-years-old. I was riding my bike and looked to my left where a bus was parked. On the bus, there was this little girl who appeared out of nowhere and put her hands up to signal ‘stop’. I could see that she wasn’t really a ‘person’, but more like a translucent spirit. No one else could see her! I quickly pulled on my brakes because I innately knew that she was there to help. I could also feel like she knew things that I, along with other people on earth, couldn’t comprehend. About 2 seconds later, a truck turning the corner missed me by about 1 inch. It was the craziest thing, but I think this little ghost girl saved my life. If I hadn’t stopped, there is no way that truck wouldn’t have hit me. SPOOKY! I never saw a ghost again, but I will never laugh at people who say they have anymore.
