ghosts

I live in a very old apartment with my husband and 2 kids. It seems to have been extensively remodeled and is a strange place. There are uneven baseboards and half doorways leading to irregularly shaped storage areas.

One of the closets had been blocked off in the back which I assume was where a staircase used to be that was removed. Everything was fine until recently when a lamp in the master bedroom turned on by itself one night. I thought that was weird, but even stranger was when I realized I hadn't plugged it earlier and sure enough it still wasn't. It was still on after I had the plug in my hand! It stayed on till I unscrewed the bulb.

Now here's the only other thing that has happened: About a week after the light started came on, I awoke in the middle of the night to hear someone walk into our room. At first I lay there just listening because I thought it was most likely our oldest son, who was 6 years old at the time, coming in from a bad dream. Then, the source of the noise walked to the foot of the bed and ran a hand up the back of my leg, from my ankle to the very top of my thigh. I froze with fear.

I could not have summoned my husband if I wanted to. I tried and found that fear choked the voice out of my throat. I closed my eyes and lay still only being able to listen as the intruder walked around from the foot of the bed to my side of the bed towards my head. When it stopped, and had been still a while, I opened my eyes. Right there in front of me, not more than a foot a way, was some thing very short, dark gray and very like granite looking in texture, and where the face should have been was only a single, round bright white light. I shut my eyes tight and quickly rolled away to snuggle in next to my husband as closely and as tightly as I possibly could have. I told him what had happened to me the next morning.

I was rather surprised to hear that he had seen it too, gliding around the bed from my side of the bed to the foot as it disappeared and faded in to the darkness. I am happy to report that we have not seen that creature since then. I don't know what it was, and I am not sure I ever will. If you should happen to know what it was or what it could be, please let me know.

What is going on? Should we move? Why would they have blocked off the stairs?

Please help! Coliss
