I was spending my holidays in my summer cottage. It was a hot night and we were watching stars in my friend’s backyard. It was about 1 o’clock a.m. and we were getting sleepy.
We decided to go to sleep and as my friend’s house was across the street and my parents were already sleeping, I had to go home by myself. There is a forest near our house and a little gate leads into the forest. Just in front of the gate, is a streetlight with green shimmer.
I took a step and looked at the gate. In greenish light was standing a man. A man in black coat. At the same time my friend shouted something and I turned my head. When I looked back, the man had disappeared. My friend told me to go home and that my eyes had played a trick on me. I walked towards my house, I turned to the gate to be sure that it had been only my imagination. And there stood the man again.
I screamed and ran home. Later in bed, still trembling with fear and shock I tried to convince myself that there had been nobody and finally I managed to calm down. Since that day, in the evenings I am afraid to go home from my friend’s house.
