Ruby's Ghost Stories

from Missy Ruby Potter

Hi, my name is Ruby and I'm from Australia. I am 11 years old, and I have a dead grandmother. My mum says that she is always around, and that she protects me and my family members. That is something that I believe, too. It's weird, and sometimes scary when I feel her around me. This is a story that happened to me one night, which was kinda' scary.

I was on the computer one night ,and yes, I was on Angels & Ghosts. It was about 35 degrees Celsius, and I was sweating. My brother (4 years old) was playing the Playstation, and the music on the computer was freaking him out; so, I turned the sound off. I was looking at some pictures, and then my brother froze. I froze too, then we got out of the 'trance' and I was freaking out. All of a sudden, it started getting cold, and I felt someone or something coming through the room. I got all of my courage gathered together and said, "Who is there?" But, nobody answered -oddly, it became hot again...

Another one happened earlier this year...

My cat, Scooter, ran away and I'm 100% sure that he his dead, because of what happened about a year ago. My cat died in 2000 and last year he was in my room. We have another cat, but that's my sister's. I was laying in bed, and I felt a cat on my doona - it was pressing against my leg. I was pretty sure it was "Chilly" (the other cat), so I went back to sleep. I woke up at about six in the morning, and felt the cat still lying there. I looked at the cat, but there wasn't any cat there. I found out that Chilly was sleeping with my sister the whole night, and she couldn't get out because the door was shut. I know it was Scooter, because now I sleep with her every night...
