my name is Sheryl, Im from the Philippines and I want to share to you one of the most horrifying experience I`ve ever had. An actual close encounter with a lone soul of the 3rd floor. It happened two years ago when my mom was admitted in the hospital due to her ever increasing high-blood pressure...So, my sisters and I agreed to take turns upon spending the night in the hospital to take care of my mom. I am the eldest of four siblings, and so it happens that I was the last one to take good care of her on her last stay in the hospital. It was like any other night in the hospital, like around 12:30 midnight. We were watching Hbo when my mom asked me to get her an apple beside the counter. The lights were all off except for the television`s reflection that was against my mom`s bed. As I got up from the sofa beside her bed to get to the counter which was located between the big mahogany closet and bathroom, I begun to notice a faint smoke-like imagine at the corner of my eye. But, thinking that it was just lights from the television playing trisks on me, I continued walking towards it. Then the smoke seemed to get thicker and thicker, until it formed into something. I was thinking that probably now it was the cold...so I looked back, gazing at something, when I felt the urge to look in front of me. To my disbelief, I saw what seemed like a man standing inches away from my face! He was tall,seemed to be clad with white smoke , and when I gathered courage to look up to his face, I saw that he had no eyes at all! Just a pair of two holes that seemed to be eye sockets..I couldn`t exactly remember how his face looked like for I was so horrified beyond anything! Like I was trapped in a nightmare! I just stood there aghast! My tracks frozen! And felt my heart skip its beat....Felt my hair raise and my head in a whirl. I hadn`t even thought of screaming...I couldn`t believe what was happening. He just stood there for a few seconds,but it felt as though he stood there longer than that....eventually he just faded into thin air, and right then, I scrambled towards my mom`s side...scared and dizzy at the same time. I was frantically making the sign of the cross when what my mom said stopped me..she looked at me and asked me " Did you see it too?" Shaken and surprised, I nodded ...and then, that night I remained buried deep into my sheets, scared that the night visitor would come come back for me. That experience made me feel excited and scared atthe same time. And I`d say that night made me say that this tale should be told. The next day I told my tale to the nurses. They just nodded as if it was normal. They said that they`re used to the occuring phenomenon in the hospital, especially , in the third floor...
