A Woman's Voice
Rate this encounter:
Rachel, Richmond, Virginia, March 2005
As the former capital of the south, Richmond, Virginia is a beautiful and
historic city. There are many civil war monuments and historic buildings,
some of which have been turned into apartment buildings. My boyfriend moved
into one about two years ago. Even before this encounter, I felt a presence
in his apartment since the day he moved in. Well, a couple months into his
lease we were in his bedroom lying on the bed around 11 PM. The only light
on in the room was a fairly bright nightlight. Because of the light, the
room wasn't totally dark, and we could see around the room easily. We had
just been talking and then we heard an angry woman's voice from the corner
of his room saying, "Tsk, tsk, tsk," as if we did something wrong! I looked
and there was nothing there and the voice was clear as day. We were both so
scared, we just froze holding each other for a couple more minutes waiting
for something else to happen. Nothing ever did...that night.
