My Experiences with Ghosts

I'm twelve years old and in these twelve years I've had a number or paranormal experiences. The first that I can remember is when we were driving past a graveyard and I saw a transparent, shadowy figure standing behind a tombstone.

But the first truly frightening experience is the time that, late at night, as I was getting ready for bed, I heard the voice of a young girl sing a sort of chant. it wasn't like a voice in my head, it sounded like it was coming from the ceiling.

Another strange, but not scary experience is a time just this summer. I was in The Sound of Music. My grandfather had died the day before. I don't usually do this, but for some reason I felt the urge to look out into the audience. As I did, I saw my grandpa sitting in the fifth row, off to the side. I looked again a moment later, and he was gone. I guess he wanted to see the show before he crossed over.

The last, and most vivid encounter with a spirit was just last week. I was walking into my room, and I saw a maybe seven year old girl in a white nightgown with long, light blonde hair and pale, sickly skin standing looking at my dolls. When she saw me, she promptly vanished.
