In my family, my encounter in known as Cat Eyes.
My family has our fair share of unexplainable encounters. From sightings, noises, objects being moved or altered, childeren in the family telling stories with details they couldn't possibly know, the list goes on. Cat eyes is the name we gave the encounter I experianced.
About 20 years ago, I was around 8 or 9 years old. My family and I, 2 parents and 2 younger siblings, lived in a 3 bedroom house with 2 living rooms, we called the second living room a "family room". The design of the house was almost like a "T" shape with the base of the T off center. once you walk in the front door you enter the living room. from the door way you can see straight down the hallway leading to all 3 bedrooms. As you walk towards the hallway, about 10 feet or so you enter the kitchen on the left which then leads to the "family room". From the first living room you can see the kitchen and family room.
At this point in time we didnt use the family room as much for lounging. We had a cloth rocking chair and maybe a chair or two left in there from the kitchen. The encounter night. I was sleeping in the living room on the couch with my younger brother. Just a normal night falling asleep to some cartoons. We fall asleep, in the middle of the night I wake up and want a midight drink of milk as 99% of the time as a kid I would wake up and get a drink of milk and then fall back asleep.
I open my eyes, laying on my right side facing the tv in the living room. The tv is the only light in the house at this hour. I sit up, I look to my right where the kitchen is about 8 feet away. I see the fridge, I could also see into the family room just passed the kitchen. What I saw I still think about to this day. Our cloth rocking chair was in the middle of the family room facing to the right from my perspective. Sitting in the chair, sidways with the right side of her body leaning against the back of the chair looking at me. She looked to be around 11 years old, in a black old style school uniform with the long white socks and black shoes. Her skin was pale and gave of this aura of light that lit up her and the chair she was sitting on but nothing else. Her hair, white/silver with bangs that came down similair to a bowl cut. Her mouth slightly open as if you have a stuffy nose and need to breath out of your mouth. Her eyes, they are what give this encounter the name. They were bigger than average human eyes but not so big its cartoonish. They were not human eyes, they were large yellowish green cat like eyes. The pupils were black on both eyes and went vertical.
We looked at eachother, her not moving. To this day i dont know why I did what I did next. It must have been a comfort thing in a time of stress. I got up from the couch and slowly walked towards the fridge for a drink of milk which is also walking towards this girl. After I took my first step towards the fridge I noticed more figures along with some audio. Behind the girl off to the left I could see 2 blue, see through, younger childeren passing a ball between them and a 3rd blue, see through, child to the right by herself jumping rope. All 3 kids faded out from the knee down. All I could hear were the sounds of a play ground, as if it was a playground full of kids. I continued towards the fridge, huging the wall and inching my way. Cat eyes stairing at me not moving, the 3 kids playing and the play ground noise still going.
I make it to the fridge wich is out of site to the family room where all this activity was. The second I open the fridge door the playground sound stops, my vision seems to be more clear but that could be due to the fridge light. I drink my milk as I convince myself Im still half asleep and halusinating. I put the milk back, The second the fridge door closes the playground sounds come back louder. I peak around the corner into the family room. Cat eyes and the 3 childeren are still there, shes staring at me with no movment while the kids continue to play behind her. I walk backwards towards the couch I was sleeping on never taking my eyes off her. I make it to the couch and curl up under the covers to hide and go back to sleep so it will all be over. I eventually fall back to sleep with nothing else happening that night.
I dont remember how long it took me to tell me family what I saw. Eventually I started telling everyone what I saw that night and the name cat eyes stuck and still gets brought up to this day and now I get to share it with you. Thanks for reading!
