I saw a ghost

this happened last week and i honestly haven’t been able to think straight ever since.

see i live with my parents, my 11 year old brother, and my maid, and i woke up last friday around 1 am to the sound of someone rummaging through the drawer in my nightstand very LOUDLY.

my bedroom was completely dark and the only source of light was from the hallway which barely seeped from the gap under my door.

the noise stopped when i got up but i could clearly see someone on their knees right beside my bed and facing my nightstand their hand rummaging through the drawer but without making any sound.

i remember immediately assuming that it was my brother at first because he always enters my room looking for shit. in fact, he had woken me up just the night before when he was looking for my headphones.

but because i wasn’t sure i asked “who is this?” (except in arabic because we’re all arab).

and then this fucker stops rummaging throught my shit and turns around to face my silently. i wish there was a better way to show you what i saw but I’m gonna try to describe it exactly as it is.

you know when its really dark and you see a figure but it doesn’t look like the way it does in the light. like If you put your bag pack on your chair and turned off the light it might look like a demon or something.

see this happens to me more than often and when I’m with my brother in the dark and he looks slightly deformed, it doesn’t creep me out.

this fucker had the outline of a body and i could clearly see it but i couldn’t see a head. and at the time it didn’t bother me the slightest because i assumed the outline of his head faded out with the darkness of my mahogany dresser behind it.

i also could tell that the figure was wearing a white long sleeved shirt, the same one my maid always wears.

and when i asked again, “who is this??” and didn’t get an answer i was positive that its my maid who was very quiet and shy. i assumed she kept quiet because she felt guilty for waking me up.

i called her by her name and also recieved no answer but i started getting frustrated before panicking and getting scared when i kept on asking “who is that?!?!” and got nothing.

the possibility of the figure staring at me, completely still and silent, was probably not someone i know dawned on me and thats when i felt fucking terrified.

i never broke eye contact as my palm was under my pillow frantically feeling around for my phone so i could turn on the flashlight. it genuinely felt like minutes as i stared at the figure while i couldn’t feel my phone anywhere.

i did find it eventually and when i shone the light on the figure, it completely vanished.

i told my family about this and they think i hallucinated it but i swore that what i saw and HEARD was 1000% real.

i then told my dad about it and he told me that in islam a spirit wearing white was not a bad spirit and that he was probably just visiting me
