Dormitory
Ghost
by Erica L.
When I was about 19 years old, I was living in the dormitory. I opted for the single room instead of sharing with someone. It was winter recess, but I believe I returned much earlier than most people to the dorm. There are three rooms in a suite; two of them are shared (with two people each) and mine is in the middle single person room.
One night in that winter recess, when no one was back yet (not only in that suite, but also practically in most of the whole dormitory). I went to sleep at about 11 p.m. I believe I turned off all the lights. My bed was by the windows and it was a cold winter night. After about two hours or so, in the middle of my sleep, I felt a breeze come through the window. I could even hear the breeze. I also felt like I was in a different state of consciousness. Then I felt like someone was standing on top of my bed. I felt very scared and therefore not even once did I open my eyes during this whole ordeal. Then my cover was slowly slipping away from me from the foot of my bed, like someone pulling the cover very slowly. Then I felt like my both legs got lifted upright. By this time, I was extremely frightened and I knew there was some type of odd entity like ghost/spirit in the room.
I started to say Buddhist chant (I don't know the exact chant, but I say it the way I know it) to protect me and get that spirit out of the room. After about one or two minutes of chanting (which felt very long time), I finally was able to snap out of it and sat up on my bed (with my eyes open this time), but I was already heavily breathing. There was no one in the room, but I immediately opened the lights and then after a while went back to sleep with the lights on. I couldn't sleep in the room the next day or so, so I went to my friend's room and slept there.
It just so happened that one of my friends knows my suitemates and just mentioned it to them my story. Then my suitemate was very quiet when she heard my story. I then found out from my friend that my suitemate had a cousin who used to be the person in that single room that I am currently in. She was raped and killed in NYC on top of a roof during a winter recess.
