I'm Being Followed By A Child.

I finally racked up 20 posts to post a thread..
I don't require anyone to believe what I am about to say.

The first occurance was about a year ago at a subway station.
I was waiting in line with about two people infront of me, and no one behind me.
I was looking at the person selling tickets (He is sealed off by a plastic/glass cover), then looked down at my phone to check the time. Looked back up at the man, but I noticed something in the reflection of the glass, we locked eye contact through the reflection.
It was a child, maybe 9 years old? Wearing normal childish clothing with red and green striped sweater, about 130cm tall? (Female)
I glanced behind me, no one was there.
Looked back at the reflection, no one was there, except for the man selling the tickets.

I know what you're thinking, you've seen this in movies a million times its a cliche.

About a month later, I was walking my dog in the afternoon, pretty sunny and gorgeous day.
I sat down on the bench while watching my dog do his business.
Then my dog started barking and howling like at me like there was no tomorrow.
Have to understand, my dog rarely barks, he is diseased with frequent seizures and has little energy.
I look behind me to see if there might have been dogs, but to my surprise, nothing there..
I felt chills running down my spine, when I remembered that dogs have the ability to detect paranomal activities.
I looked around, nothing but an open field with trees all around.
Something then caught my eyes, the red and green striped sweater was in sight, hanging by a tree branch about 15 feet off the ground (I have to say, I've never seen that sweater, and it is REALLY distinctive).

I freaked the hell out and bolted with my dog back to my home.
Nothing happened until recently, which would be today.
I was on my way home on a bus from my summer school.
Chatting with my friends on the one hour drive home (All the way at the back seat)
The bus comes to a stop, and about 10~15 people are waiting outside the bus to get in.
I spot the red and green striped sweater again, in the middle of the lineup.
Her face is more visible and is extremely pale.
I excuse myself from my friends so I could get a better look.
I move towards the front of the bus, but as I got halfway, I couldn't see her anymore. She disappeared from the crowd.
It was a busy intersection, but I looked around, none, saw no child, no sweater.
No nothing.
It creeps the hell out of me whenever I'm alone.
I don't have dreams of this child thankfully.

Please help me out..
I'm not going insane.
I don't do ANY drugs.

WAIT, hold up!!



That is really freakin Creepy!! Maybe if you buy a brand new sweater that looks like the one you describe and throw it near the creepy child you're seeing, maybe it'll go away?

Or you could just carry around a camera with you at all times like I tell the REST of them...

Thanks for sharing though!

Speaking of trolling, wanted to mention I am jealous of the avatar...

Red and green strips signify Christmas.
Female child means something sweet and innocent.

So I think something Good will happen on Christmas.

Just a guess...Ask your mother if you are describing any relatives that may have passed...

Good luck!

Not Freddie LMAOO...
Way brighter green and dark red.
Looks a BIT christmassy..

I have my cellphone on me at all times.
I'll post a pic as soon as I capture one.

I may be a troll to you, but what I am telling you is the full truth.

you know what, yep, it sounds like its came straight out of a film, but in alot of those films, they're trying to tell people to get help and they never believe them, so I'm going to believe you, I think you should go and see a spiritualist or tell a friend to see what they think, thats what I would do anyway

Where's Waldo? Doesn't he wear striped clothing? It could be mind games, some sort of psyonic attack. Who knows. Just get a grip.

Does she legitimately disappear or are you dramatizing the event?

Me and my wife have a little ghost girl that lives with us apparantly. Catch glimpses of her once in awhile but after getting freaked out for awhile we just accepted it. She has followed us for about the last nine years wherever we move.

Never really does anything other than peeks around the corner for a second than vanishes again. Anyways one day we were at work and came home and there had been a fire next door at the house. We have 2 basset hounds that were sitting in our front yard watching the firemen when we pulled up.

The weird thing is that our dogs are indoor dogs and the doors are always locked. Heavy main door and a screen door with a fenced in back yard. We checked the door and sure enough is was unlocked, we checked with the neighbors and the fireman and nobody admitted to letting our dogs out.

Somehow our dogs unlocked the door, opened it, opened the screen door and proceeded to quietly wait for us to get home. We think our little ghost girl let the dogs out in case the fire spread to our house.

Since then we've named her Vicky and every once in awhile when we see her peeking around the corner we now smile.

Literally disappears like what you see in movies.. not exaggerating.

And thats a lovely story. I hope mine turns out like yours..

Well I have witnessed some very strange events myself and having recently read up about the ghosts of flight 401, know that there are many things which cannot be explained easily or logically.

I would definitely take the advice of others who say ask around, your mum etc (you don't say what age you are but am assuming fairly young, re: your mention of summer school - correct me if I'm wrong lol) to see if there is any information that may be relevant. Also when you mentioned "hanging from a tree, do you mean that in the suicidal way or just swinging from the branch like a child would do?

In reply to Kro32, that's a brilliant story and it's amazing that sometimes spirits are around to help out at times. In fact I watched a brilliant drama at the beginning of the year, "Marchlands" was on ITV in the UK, and was about 3 different families living in the same house over a 40 yr period, from the 60's to the present day. The family in the 60's lost their young daughter in a tragic and somewhat suspicious accident. The family who lived in the house in the 80's had a young daughter who was communicating with the spirit of the dead girl and the family in the present day were also affected by the spirit of the dead girl, which ultimately lead to the truth of the original accident coming out, allowing the spirit of the young girl to move on and for her mother to finally get the answers she had been looking for for 40 years and be at peace herself. However there was one event that happened to the family in the 80's where the spirit saved the life of the family's older son, turning the mother from a sceptic who had taken her own daughter for psychiatric evaluation due to her communication with the spirit into a firm believer with the realisation that the spirit was good and was only trying to help.

so looking forward to what else you can tell us about your experience.

18 years old hahh.

i think you misread it :S
I said the sweater was hanging by a branch, not the child :O

Ahh, right, I thought you meant it was the child wearing the distinctive sweater that was hanging from a tree, which of course would have been rather disturbing...

I would have had a heart attack on the spot..

:/
No new appearances yet..

Well remember to carry a camera everywhere just in case

STOP shouting Troll every time someone posts an experience that you cannot fathom!

It's pathetic, especially if you leave only a only a one liner and no explanation of why you think it's not true.

Find a thread that you can actually contribute to instead of wasting space.

To the OP:

I am not sure what to make of your story.

I would go with the advice of others and speak to your family about this.
Your sightings don't seem to be very often... Maybe she appears when you are going through a difficult time?

I am surprised that you did not go and fetch the sweater that was hanging by the tree....

I would suggest that if something similar happens in future that you pick it up and keep it.

At least that way you will have tangible proof. Not for anyone else, but for yourself.

Keep well.

yep, summer break is here..
