My own ghost story - The hands
Several years ago, I went to stay with some friends who lived in an old house in the country. I had not told them I was coming, and when I arrived, they already had other visitors.
"Never mind," said my friend Ella. "You can sleep in the small guest room. We don't often use it, but you'll be all right for one night."
As we said goodnight, Ella added. "Oh, and please, lock the door before you go to bed. Otherwise it may open by itself."
Well I locked the door, lay down in bed, and went to sleep. During the night, I slept badly; I didn't really know if I was asleep or awake. But suddenly, I knew I was awake. Hands were touching my face. I tried to push them away, but there was nothing. I found the light switch, and put on the light. There was no one in the room.
"It was just a dream," I thought. And I went back to sleep.
When I woke up next morning, I got another surprise. The door, which I had shut and locked, was open! During breakfast, I told Ella about my strange dream, and about the open door.
"You too!" she replied. "Yes, I know. that's why we don't often use that bedroom. It's the blind lady!"
"What blind lady?" I asked.
"Well, you see, many years ago, the people who lived here had a daughter who was blind. That was her bedroom. She died when she was about 30. And since then, she has kept coming back to her room. She always feels the sheets, before getting into bed. Several visitors have had the same experience..... But she was a lovely girl. She has never hurt anyone."
I felt the skin on the back of my neck go cold.... Since then, I have always believed in ghosts!
我本身的鬼故事—手
几年前，我往和一些伴侣一路生活，她们住在乡间一所古老的房屋里。我往之前没有告诉她们，当我抵达的时候，她们已经有了别的的客人。
“不妨的，”我的伴侣艾拉说，“你能够住小客房。我们日常平凡没经常用，你来了，正好迁就一个晚上。”
当我们互道晚安的时候，艾拉填补道，“嗯，睡觉前请锁上门，否则它会本身翻开的。”
我专心地把门锁上，然后上床睡觉。整个晚上，我睡得很欠好。我几乎不晓得本身是睡着了仍是没睡着。突然间，我发现本身是醒着的，有一双手在摸我的脸，我试图推开，却什么也没有。我找到灯开关，翻开灯，屋里没有他人。
“只不外是一个梦，”我想，然后陆续睡觉。第二天早上醒来的时候，我又发现了另一个令人惊异的事实；那房门，我锁得好好的房门被翻开了！早餐的时候，我把夜间的梦连同被翻开的房门的情状一路告诉了艾拉。
“你也觉得到了！”艾拉说，“是的，我晓得。那就是我们不常用那间屋的原因。那是盲妹！”
“什么盲妹？”我问道。
“哦，你还不晓得。许多年前，那所室第的仆人有个女儿是个瞎子，那就是她的房间。她30岁的时候往世了。自那以后，她经常回她的房间里来。她在上床睡觉之前老是要摸一摸床单，有好几个客人都有过同样的觉得……。不外她是一个好姑娘，她不会损害任何人。”
我觉得到颈背的皮肤一阵发凉……从此以后，我就相信有鬼了！
