This story is of the time I was 6 or 7. One day a man came in our house and told us that they want to make a hotel in our land. We didn't want to leave our home, but we had no other choice as they had the permission paper from the landlord. So we moved to my mom's grandfather's farmhouse, it was a large and beautiful one.
Night soon fell, and I was getting ready to sleep, when I saw this black shadow standing near me. It disappeared quickly, and soon came a beautiful girl. She told me 'hi' and we both quickly became good friends. Then the day came, when she introduced me to her baby brother;
It was Sunday and we were playing as usual, when my friend (oh sorry I forgot to tell her name, she was Betty) said, "oh look Marie! my brother!" and went through me! I didn't think anything of it, and soon she said again, "Marie, this is my baby brother Jones. Please hug him!" I saw nothing, but soon the same black shadow came, and quickly disappeared, and soon came a cute boy (maybe 3 or 4 years old). She kept cuddling and hugging him, as if she forgot me.
One day, I told mom about Betty. She didn't believe me and thought about the 'original imaginary friend' that a child has. She smiled and replied, "oh really? good! wait... I smell food! maybe she prepared something for you!" and I ran to my bedroom. Of course, I didn't see any food and obviously my mother was lying.
One day, I was preparing for playing 'catch a doodle' when I heard Betty's scream. I ran towards her and asked what happened, and she said that her brother turned into a skeleton and flew out of the window. I felt kind of strange, but was not scared at all. I now started to think that he was a demon; of course he was one. I told mom about it and she was amazed. Now a thought struck her; she doubted if Betty was any ghost (yes, she was one).
She found out that in 1978, this farm house was a school and in 1999 a fire struck the school, when Betty was class 4. The whole school burned, and no one present in the school was alive. It was eventually rebuilt and turned into a farmhouse.
From that day I started ignoring Betty, but I do see her and her brother sometimes.
