Boy in the Photo
by Gabby S.

I'm 14, and ever since I moved into my house when I was eight years old, I've seen shadow people. Of course I was too young to know it, but I found out last year that what I saw was in fact shadow people. It happened after my dad told me what happened to this lady that works for us. She had lived in her house for a while and always felt like she was being followed. As he told me this, I thought, "Well, me too!" When she would walk around, she would always see a shadow out of the corner of her eye, but when she turned, nothing was there. And I was like, "Oh my gosh, me too!" I remember lying on the floor covering my head with my hands because I was so scared. She said the shadow was of a little boy, and she saw it go into her son's room one night and so she followed it. But when she went in nothing was there. She turned on the lights and still no sign of the shadow boy. 

They sold their house (not for that reason though) and when they had moved out and were already moving in to their new house, she got a call. The lady that had moved into her old house had just called to let her know that she found a family picture that had been left there. She knew that she hadn't left anything there, but she stopped by to pick it up anyway. It was taken as a family reunion picture and was from at least the 1920s. The lady my dad knew brought it to him and told him the story. The people that had moved into her house found the picture were she had kept laundry detergent. So she knew that she hadn't left anything there, and the picture was not hers. She has no clue how it go there, but in the picture, there were several children - one of them being the little boy that she had seen all along!
