A Man Named Sam

I always was able to see and sense things, including a man that stood in the middle of the hallways at my own house. I could see him every once in a while and I always thought he was my dad until well he moved out, so here's what happened.

Ever since I was five or six, I could see a man out of the corner of my eye in the hallway staring at me, and so I thought it was my Dad waiting for me to go to bed so I ignored it for years. Then about a year ago, my mom and dad got a divorce so my dad moved out. Then the night he moved out, I saw the man again, that freaked me out. Then I didn't see him for a long time until about 2 months ago.

I was doing my homework at the kitchen table, so my sister could play in my room, when she ran down the stair in a fright, I asked what was wrong and she told there was a man in my room staring at my tv and then at my bed. So I cautiously with a knife in my hand walked up the stairs and peaked into my room and sure enough there was a man.

But instead of looking dangerous he looked kind of troubled, so I hid the knife behind my back and asked him who he was, he looked back at me and I shivered because he had a bruise on the side of his face. He pointed to the tv which by the way was really dusty and wrote the name Sam in the dust. I turned and looked at my sister who was behind me, then I turned and he was gone.

But of course when my mom came home, sister and I told her about what happened she got angry at me telling me not to put things into my sisters head. I told my grandma and she seemed interested, she came over and saw the name in the dust, she said I believe because you don't write like this, she hugged me, and plus I saw "Sam" last night though now I'm not as scared of him.
