Chicken Ghosts
by Debra S.

I have lived in a cabin north of Fairbanks, Alaska for eight years of my life. The weirdest thing happened to me one night when I was three years old. I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. When I got to the bathroom, something caught my eye before I could turn on the light. The shadow of a chicken was moving its way across the back wall of the bathroom! I raced to my parents' bedroom and told them what I saw. They said it might have been my own shadow. I calmed down and went to bed. Later that night, I thought of how it could have been my shadow. There was no light behind me, it was pitch black!

About two years later, I saw another chicken shadow behind our water tank (it was upstairs in my room). After that, nothing has happened. I'm now 13 years old and live someplace completely different, but I remember that first night like it was yesterday.
