[quote=Anonymous]No one believes me that my ghost friend named Agnes opened the basement door in this shady house we were living in, which allowed a rat to come upstairs, climb into my little brother's crib and bite his toe.

Everyone swears I opened the door on my own because I wanted my brother to get hurt because I was jealous of him.  They say this because I did once try to roll him off the bed when my mom wasn't looking.  I do 100% admit to doing that.  It was just after he was born and I did NOT like him or want him around.  Because he was around, I was no longer allowed to sleep in my parent's bed because that's where he slept.  So in my 5 year old brain I figured if I made it look like HE was too clumsy and irresponsible to sleep in the big bed, he'd have to sleep in a crib/bassinet and I'd get my rightful place back.

Anyway, my ghost friend Agnes and I were very tight.  My parents still refer to her as my imaginary friend, but she was real and not in my imagination.  I told Agnes how much I hated my little brother and she told me she understood because she was the oldest of her siblings and she hated having to take care of them along with her mother (Agnes was 13, FYI).  Anyway, she told me stories of how much work and how much trouble her younger siblings caused.  Her brother Jed was actually why she died; he got lost while hunting and Agnes caught pneumonia from being out in the cold weather searching for him.  Whenever I got a cold or anything, Agnes got very worried about me because she didn't want me to die like she had.  She told me that where she was was very lonely because she only got to have friends for a few years "before things changed" and now I understand that to be because kids are more receptive and eventually grow to not believe and can no longer communicate with spirits.  Anyway, Agnes is the one who opened the basement door because she knew my dad had discovered rats down there and she said when she was alive, rats were very dirty and transmitted diseases to humans.

I'm the one who got in trouble for the door being opened and my brother getting bitten.  And then each time I said that it was Agnes who did it, I got another spanking.  My parents were furious.  Not too long after that Agnes told me that she could feel our time together ending soon.  We no longer communicated after I turned 6.  I remember asking her to come talk to me but nothing happened.  So, so, so weird.  I still thought about her and missed her for years after.    [/quote]
