My Encounter with the Hat Man, A Real Ghost Story

Summer was here, I was about 13-14 years old. I decided with my kid sister to put up the tent in our backyard. The yard was between my home and garage. The garage had a timer so went the time was up the light would turn off. The tent was awesome,it included our our mattress’ to sleep on, and our TV, which really made it seem like we were not really camping. When it was time to go to bed my dad unplugged the extension cord which turned off the tv. My sister laid in her mattress and I laid in mine, 5 mins later my sister falls asleep from our exciting day. I, however, laid there waiting to fall asleep.

As I was laying on my side facing my sister, I saw a man’s shadow wearing a “cowboy” hat walking at a fast pace to the front of the tent! As soon as the shadow got to the front of the tent THE LIGHT TURNS OFF! I heard NO FOOT STEPS as the leaves of the yard floor were dry and would of crunched if stepped on. I quickly jumped with my sister and hugged her tight.

The week before I seen a shadow go into the garage. I was alone so I called my mother and she sent my dad there to check it out. There is only one way in and one way out. I was starring at it the WHOLE time until my dad got there. He went in and nothing was there!
