Once upon a time, in a different place and era, I found myself in a state of sheer boredom. My room became my haven as I sought refuge from the monotony of the day. Lying on my bed, engrossed in a book, I felt the weight of my legs against my book’s pages, creating a comfortable reading perch.
The house I now inhabited was new, a place where no one else had ever lived. As I delved deeper into my book’s pages, an inexplicable sensation washed over me, urging me to glance at my open bedroom doorway. Obediently, I turned my gaze in that direction, and what met my eyes sent a shiver down my spine.
A white, ethereal figure stood there, its gaze fixed upon me. Fear gripped me, and I instinctively shut my eyes for what seemed like an eternity. The presence, however, persisted. Summoning courage, I cautiously reopened my eyes after a few minutes.
To my astonishment, the apparition still lingered, lingering for mere seconds longer. Then, with silent grace, it moved to the right, disappearing into either the bathroom or my little sister’s room. I never caught another glimpse of it that day.
The calendar marked this peculiar encounter as a Christmas-time happening. When I shared my experience, both my aunt and mother revealed that they had encountered similar apparitions. In their eyes, these specters were not harbingers of dread but rather Christmas angels paying a visit.
With many more stories in my repertoire, I decided to share them one by one, ensuring clarity and intrigue. As you read this tale, you take a step into the world where boredom gives way to wonder, and ordinary homes become the backdrop for extraordinary encounters.
