Myour name is Alinah-Jo and I never believed in ghosts until one day at school I was talking to my friends about my ghosts. I didn't believe in ghosts and I was bored hearing things that I didn't think were true, so I went to the bathroom. I heard the little girl sniffle. I asked if everything was okay, but no one answered, which I found strange. That night I went on the computer to check ghost websites and while I was reading disturbing ghost stories, someone or something pinched my arm. I thought it was my little brother, so I looked around, but there was no one there. I continued reading, a little scared. Then something or someone, as I said, leaned over me and I felt a compact gust of wind, compact enough to be someone breathing. I thought it couldn't be a ghost because they don't breathe.

I was shaking and then the door slammed, but it was my older sister and I quickly jumped down from the computer. She noticed I was shaking and asked what was wrong. I told her everything that happened today. She told me not to worry because she was there with me. She told me to try to think of something cheerful, but every time I thought of something cheerful, it came back to what had just happened. Now, after what happened that day, I believe in ghosts and I choose not to talk about what happened when we talk about ghosts at school. But I still can't understand what that sobbing in the toilet that day meant.

Please tell me it could have just been a kid in the bathroom. As I was leaving, I saw that all the doors were open.
