     Do you believe that ghosts exist? I believe in Ghosts and I'm sure some of you may believe. It's a real experience which I experienced this May.

    My home is at the edge of a river. The river exactly is behind the house. My bedroom is near the kitchen. Every morning I can open the window to see the river and the landscape. It's not so beautiful because the river has been polluted, but the morning air can still be enjoyed.
   

    One day, my dad told me that one of his female employee from his office would stay for a few days at home. So my dad would make a bed for two people in my room. One above one below. I was very happy, it meant there would be a roommate for me. The next day my dad put some boards to make the bed. However,he was busy, he could not finish it in one day.And he postponed it to be completed the next day.

    That night I slept in the bed under the unfinished bed. As usual, after the completion of all my works, I took my tablets and started playing the game while waiting for sleep to come. Then I fell asleep and forgot to turn off the light of my bedroom. I slept very soundly until awakened by my alarm clock. It was at 5 am. I had to get up and carry out the dawn prayers.At 5:15 am, I finished and returned to my bed. I knew I should not sleep again after the dawn prayer but I could not restrain my sleepiness so I decided to sleep again for a while and I did not turn off the lights.

    I hoped I would not be late for making breakfast for my family. I didn't know how long I've been asleep, I felt there was something strange, the light was blinking and I looked up and aaaaaaaaaaaaaa ......... ...a strange figure was on the unfinished bed above me, its legs was dangling and its head was towards me, white ....white like smoke. I quickly closed my eyes, I read all the prayers that I ever knew but I felt my body was stiff and I could not move and my prayer readings were stammered. I did not know how long I laid and closed my eyes. And I heard my mom knocked on the door. I forced myself to open my eyes. I opened my eyes slowly, the figure was gone and I immediately jumped off my bed, opened the door and hugged my mom. She was surprised and she asked me what happened and why I was shaking. I could not say anything then she took me to the dining room,gave me a glass of water. After drinking I said a prayer and I felt calm. I told her what had happened. She said I had to pray and believe that if we were good and we never bothered them (the ghosts), they would not bother us.

    But I did not understand, I've been living in this house since I was a baby.What was wrong? Why? Was it because I was asleep after the dawn?, or perhaps because of the new bed?. Or did the ghost want to see how beautiful I was on my sleeping :D lol?.  Or Did the ghost only want to take a rest after a long journey and saw the empty unfinished bed above me?. So many questions were unanswered.

   After that I obviously asked my dad to take off the unfinished bed and I asked him to make a single large bed for us.

   This experience is real and it still haunts my mind. It's made me stopped sleeping after waking up at the dawn.
