One time I went to my friend's house to spend the night, and I showed her this sight of "true" ghost stories. One was that a girl, with a bunk bed, held a hand but it wasn't her sister's hand. Another was this girl claiming she saw long hair hanging outside the window. Well, that night, when we went to bed, we seriously laid awake for an hour or so scared that hair or a hand would come down from her top bunk. Finally we fell asleep. But to this day we still get scared about the hand and hair whether it's from the top bunk, a window, or just the plain darkness.
