NOT YOUR BABY

I'M BACK!

Yes, I know it's been a long time, and maybe it seemed like I had actually died, but I didn't.  I was spending some time in a magical land of fairies, castles, and haggis!  And I dipped my face (for seven seconds exactly) in this magic fairy river that keeps you youthful (and healthy!) so I managed to not be dying for at least a little bit.

But unlike souvenirs, the magic must stay in Scotland.  Unfortunately I seem to have brought something else back from Scotland...a baby.

Just before your mind jumps to any conclusions, let me just say that I didn't go to Scotland to secretly have a baby at cloister, so that no one would even know that I had been preggo.  The baby that I'm referring to is a ghost baby that has decided to haunt me.

I was unaware of its presence until recently.  I was in the lab in the creepy physics basement by myself.  I was waiting from my professor to arrive so I could ask her some questions.  There is a creepy hallway leading up to my lab (usually filled with spiders) that prevents the person in the lab from seeing who is entering the lab.  From that hallway I heard a small child crying.

At first I thought my professor had brought her small son into work, and she was coming into the lab to see how things were going.  But after waiting a few minutes and having no one enter the lab I went into the hallway.  There was no one there, and the crying stopped.

So I went upstairs to see if she was in her office.  There was no one upstairs.  So I started to freak out a bit.  But I just went back to the lab and continued as per usual.

By the end of the day I had completely forgotten about it.

Later that night, however, my friends and I were watching a scary movie and I looked down at my shirt. There appeared to be a coffee stain on it.  But this was not just any coffee stain, IT WAS IN THE SHAPE OF A BABY'S FOOTPRINT.  It literally looked like a baby with a dirty foot had walked up my side.

Now you  might think that it was just my imagination over-reacting.  BUT when I asked my friends what it looked like, they also said it looked like a baby's footprint!

Since then the baby has caused a little mischief around the house.  He turns the emergency lights on and off, but only when I'm downstairs by myself.  Things will fall off the counter in the kitchen.  Weird sounds, like knocking, happen and cannot be explained.

so far it hasn't been anything malicious, but as I've learned from my extensive knowledge of scary movies, small children ghosts/demons are the absolute worst!
