It was supposed to be a normal workday. I left my daughter at home, thinking she\u2019d be fine for a few hours. She\u2019s smart, responsible, and I trust her, but something felt off that morning. Maybe it was the storm clouds gathering outside, or the strange chill in the air\u2014either way, my gut was telling me something wasn\u2019t right. \ud83c\udf27\ufe0f\n
So, I did what any parent would do: I checked the security camera footage from my phone to make sure she was okay.\n
But what I saw made my heart stop. \ud83d\ude28\n
\nAt first, everything seemed normal. My daughter was sitting in the living room, absorbed in her phone. I let out a sigh of relief\u2014until I saw it.\n
A figure, barely visible at first, seemed to materialize behind her. It was faint, almost like a shadow\u2014so faint, in fact, that I thought I was imagining it. But then, it grew clearer. It was a pale, translucent figure, standing completely still. The eyes\u2014dark and hollow\u2014stared directly at the back of her head.\n
My blood ran cold.\n
I immediately tried to zoom in, but the image flickered, and the figure seemed to move closer\u2014so close that it was practically looming over her. My daughter was completely unaware. She was sitting there, completely oblivious to the danger standing right behind her.\n
I panicked. My hands were shaking as I scrambled to turn off the camera. I couldn\u2019t breathe. What was that thing? A ghost? An illusion? I was desperate to convince myself it was just a glitch in the system, a trick of the light, but deep down, I knew\u2026 it wasn\u2019t.\n
When I called my daughter to check if she was okay, she sounded completely calm, like nothing was wrong. But I couldn\u2019t shake the feeling that something had been in that room with her.\n
Now, every time I think about it, I wonder: Did I really see a ghost? Or was I just imagining things? \ud83d\ude33\n
But one thing\u2019s for sure\u2014I\u2019ll never leave her alone again without checking those cameras a little too carefully. \ud83d\udd75\ufe0f\u200d\u2642\ufe0f\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
