So I’ve since settled with the belief that it was likely my mind playing tricks on me but this event was so scary at the time, I thought you guys might like it.
I was around 10ish at the time, at home, and a friend from school, her younger brother, and their parents were over, visiting.
Us three kids decided to play hide and seek in the house since we were bored. We played a few rounds and it came to be my turn to be “it.” Since we were playing in the house and there weren’t many places to hide, we decided to make it harder and turn off all the lights in the hallway and rooms and close all the blinds. It’s late afternoon during the time of year it gets dark early so it was super dark in the rooms. I go about looking for them and I decide to try the closet in my room.
My closet is like in the wall, with two swinging doors to access. My clothes are hanging in there, and some junk on the floor of the closet. It would’ve been hard for someone to hide in there but maybe not impossible. Anyways, I decide to check the closet. I reach my hand in and feel around. I end up touching what I felt as someone’s open palm. Like the back of their hand was against the back of the closet. I touch the hand and immediately feel it flinch and pull away. As it pulls away I feel their fingers as well. At that point I feel like I caught the first person and announce, “ok I felt you! Get out!”
But then no one steps out. I say again in the dark, “cmon I felt you, you lose come on out.”
Again, silence.
Then I hear my friend and her brother come into the room and ask what’s wrong? Now I’m confused, I turn on the light and look I’m through the closet but there’s no one there, just my clothes and stuff. I explain what I felt and all three of us end up feeling really freaked out. We stop playing after that and go to our parents to explain what happened.
Our parents go and check but there’s nothing there. They don’t make anything more out of it.
Idk what it was that I touched but I SWEAR to you, I remember it like it was yesterday, I felt a palm and fingers and felt it pull away. Skin feels recognizable. And for it to flinch and pull away felt even MORE obvious. I never had another paranormal event after that so that’s why I figured it was nothing but that was the first time I felt genuine terror for ghosts or the paranormal.
