A Mother From The Grave

This is my very first incounter with a ghost. I was in fourth grade at that time.

The mother of my classmate Dennis died of hemmorheage. All of the class have to attend the funeral. When we arrived in a public cemetary. The worker of the cemetary are still digging out the skeleton of the former resident put in the sack. I cant remember anymore after that.

That night i went to bed with my sibling's turned off the light and fall asleep. In the middle of the night i woke up feeling like someone is watching me. I look to my brother's and sister they are all sleeping. Out of now where i saw the mother of my classmate Dennis standing in the side of the footboard of the bed. Just staring.... Not moving or saying anything just looking at me. i was so scared that i covered my self with blanket head to toe and hoping she will go away. I fall back to sleep like that. What i cannot understand is why will she show herself to me when i dont know her personally not even spoke to her before.

Since that day i never attend a wake or funeral ever again. Everytime my mom asked me to go with her to attend someone's wake i alway's stay outside of the house. Never look at the coffin. She was not scary but for my age at that time. Sure it was!!!
