I was 7 years old and I thought that I had a ghost who liked to play tricks on me in my house. Well, one day my mom asked me to get her some potatoes from the top of the basement stairs (where we kept them) and as I got the last potato, I slipped on a stray one and fell all the way down the stairs, getting a huge scrape down my back and bumps on my head from tossing the potatoes in my hand from shock. Sobbing my heart out, I vowed revenge on the ghost who did it!
