"Ghost Panda" a true story-
I usually require some quiet time after the kids are in bed and my husband always goes to sleep much sooner than I. After everyone in our house was supposedly snug in their beds asleep I started walking towards the bath to brush my teeth and begin readying myself for slumber. My four year old son had been up and so had my daughter after tucking them in several times. I kept hearing a noise earlier and thought maybe one of them had been up yet again. It was now quiet though, so I believed everyone to be asleep. I had turned off the lights with the exception of the downstairs bathroom and noticed both my daughter's door and my bedroom door were opened. Usually my husband shuts our door if I have lights on and I'm up after him. I make my way to the hall with a sliver of light shining out. It's still quite dark. I hear a noise in my daughter's bedroom so I stop in my tracks. I think maybe it's my four year old, but I don't see anyone walking towards me. Then I see a low blurry movement coming towards me on the floor. Is it my daughter crawling I ponder? A strange floating object is coming towards her doorway in a very peculiar zigzagging pattern and I notice it is rather large and white and black. It's not her. It's still so dark I can't see well and then it starts floating towards me. It's one of my daughtr's stuffed animals- a panda possessed by the devil I assume. All of a sudden it's coming towards me quickly with apparently nothing underneath. I let out a short but very loud scream as I stand frozen and panic stricken and not sure what to expect. I hear my husband exclaim "what.. what!?" in a muffled half awake voice. At that same moment the light shines on the culprit which drops the panda dead in it's tracks. Wide eyed and frightened by my scream, Monte halls tail up the stairs. That darn cat....
