The Midnight Special

I was about 16 or so...this was years ago.

I used to stay up late and watch the Midnight Special.

I was leaning up against my leather coach, sitting on the floor watching the show. All the lights were off and everyone else was in bed asleep.

Olivia Newton John Started to sing the song "Magic". That's when I felt it.
Someone sat down on the leather couch next to me. The sound of leather squeaking loudly, I looked over and saw NO ONE. What I did see was a clear indentation of where that 'no one' was sitting. I, in a semi-terrified state said to myself....., "Oooookay".....And I continued to watch the show. When the song was over, I felt that 'some one' get up from the couch....

Needless to say. I got up, turned on all the lights...ran to my room, locked the door, got in bed, closed my eyes and went to sleep.
Yes...I did leave the TV on....I was afraid of turning it off.
