Knock! Knock! A True Ghost Story

Knock! Knock!It started in the living room.The sound.I heard heavy breathing with a gentle shuffle of footsteps. I was terrified. How could I not be alone in my house?That breathing. That shuffling.Closer.Closer.I tried to see what I could. I saw nothing. By the speed it approached, it would reach the light switch at the same time I would. What could I do? Where could I go?I wondered what it was capable of. Making noise? Yes. Of course. Making a sound like it is getting closer? Yes. It can do that.Touch me? Nah. Ghost can't do that. Can they?Can they?Can they?This is not a fake story. This is a true story.Can they?I know the answer.
