The Housecoat

Have you ever been awake late at night and seen a figure standing there? You most likely shone a light on it and seen a housecoat hanging on the door. Harmless, right?

Well...no, not exactly...

If you stay awake long enough and don't go to sleep before dawn, it will get you. This probably sounds fake, but hear my story.

When I was 12 I had a sleepover with my friend. He didn't sleep at all that night. I, however, did sleep. Even if I only slept for and hour, It was still enough.

I woke up and saw my friend staring at my door.What's wrong? I asked. I saw something move. He said. I grabbed my torch and shone it on the floor where he was staring. I saw my house coat had fallen on the floor, but it was a few feet away from the door.

It's just a housecoat, nothing to be scared of. I told him. Later on after some more chatting we tried to sleep. After an hour of trying to sleep, I heard muffled noises coming from my friend's sleeping bag. I shone my torch on it and saw my housecoat was lying on top of my friend. I saw him thrashing around as if he was fighting it before it finally lay still. I just assumed he was a restless sleeper, after all, this was the first time I had a sleepover with him.

I was so wrong.

The next morning, my housecoat was hanging on the back of my door, but what I saw in the sleeping bag was what horrified me. I saw a housecoat, made of skin that had been stitched together. I wanted to vomit. I screamed and my mother ran into the room and saw the scene in front of me. We called the police and I told them about the housecoat.

They passed it off as me trying to find a way to cope with the loss of a friend.

If you see a figure, sleep as soon as you can. even if it's for five minutes, you will be safe.
