Ghost Stories: My Strange Doppelganger
This story happened in the year 2000, I believe, when I was still in high school and about 17 years old. My two younger sisters (15 and 11 at the time) were in their bedroom on the second floor of our house with the door open. I was downstairs watching TV with my parents. I decided to go upstairs because it was late and I was ready for bed.
When I went into the room, my youngest sister looked at me and laughed. She asked why I was on the stairs waving at her and smiling before. My middle sister said she didn't see me, but the youngest insisted. I told her she was crazy; I was downstairs the whole time and came right up without waving to her first. She kept insisting I was there, but I told her she was dreaming and I went to bed.
A few days later, my sister told me she saw me again, this time on the third floor staircase (our great grandmother lived on the third floor). I informed her that I had not been up there all day. Once again, she insisted and I argued it, telling her to stop lying. Still, a few days later, she and my youngest male cousin (he would have been about 8 at the time) ran into my room and told me that they just saw me downstairs. I peered from behind a wall, smiled and waved, then hid again. My youngest cousin saw me first and pointed it out to my little sister. They both knew I was upstairs and freaked out. I was a little weirded out at this point, but told them to calm down; maybe it was their imagination.
About a week or so later, I came home from school at around 3 p.m., my normal time. My dad was sitting in his usual chair next to his CD rack. I threw down my book back and said, "Hey" as he looked at me funny. He said, "Where did you go?" I replied that I went to school, just as I do every day. He then told me that I came home around 12:30, bent down to get a CD and went upstairs to my room. He thought I was up there the whole time. I told him, "No... I have been in school all day." (I never played hooky; I'm a big nerd). He said he must have fallen asleep without realizing it.
I remembered that my sister and my cousin also saw me when I was not around and decided to tell my mother about these events. She thought a minute and said she remembered when I was very young my grandfather was alone in my living room talking to someone. My mother went in and asked him who he was talking to, in which he replied, "To Cindy." My mother informed him that I was in the backyard with the rest of my cousins. My grandfather looked around and said the same thing my father did -- he must have fallen asleep. My mother freaks out pretty easily, and my little sister continued to see me around the house when I was not there. My mother decided to consult a psychic, who told her to get rid of the Ouija board that I had. I gave it very unwillingly to my mother and she disposed of it.
