You know how you think you'll react differently to a situation until that situation actually happens? Like you think you will react braver in a situation, but in reality you act like a complete wimp. Well, that's what happened to me when I went ghost hunting with my cousin.
My cousin and I were convinced that there was a ghost haunting my Aunts studio connected to my Grandmothers home. The reason we thought so was because of a hairbrush. You see we misplaced a hairbrush and we were convinced a ghost took it. Mostly because our Aunt had told us a billion ghost stories involving missing hairbrushes. We also thought her house was haunted because the door in one of my Grandmother's rooms which was next to my Aunt's studio would rattle, when no one touched it. We assumed since the room was right next to my Aunt's studio the ghost that haunted my Aunt's studio was haunting that room also. Since our Grandmother did not believe that there was a ghost haunting her daughter's studio we decided to collect video evidence. So, my cousin and I grabbed flashlights and my iPad. Obviously we had been watching way too much Scooby-doo. Anyways we entered our Aunt's dark, dusty studio and waited. We waited for something supernatural or creepy to happen. I honestly was expecting a ghostly being to appear before us. We waited and waited. We became bored and decided to move the investigation to our Aunt's kitchen. As we slowly entered our Aunt's kitchen, waving our flashlights my cousin whispered "This is creepy." Before I could even open my mouth the printer on my Aunt's desk turned on, all by itself. It made that beeping sound printers make when they turn on. We all turned in shock. Before anyone said anything I was out of the studio. I heard my cousin say in fear "Nity?" as I left the studio. I am telling you I never ran so fast in my life. I nearly pooped myself. When my cousin noticed I was no longer by her side she yelled, "NITY!" I kid you not, I literally screamed back, "Every woman for herself!" She ran out of the building screaming after me. By the time I opened my Grandmother's door to her house my cousin and I were in tears. We ran to our Grandmother's room and tried to explain what happened to her, through our weeping. After we had calmed down she told us, "The printer just received a fax." As soon as the words set in, my cousin and I began laughing.
I laugh every time I remember this story. As you can tell, I am not a good person to be left alone with during a scary situation. I still can't believe I left my cousin alone like that, especially when I thought there was a ghost in the building.
