Once there was a young man and his name was Michael Manson. Michael was born with a gift to see ghosts. Michael’s parents didn’t figure this out until he was about five years old because he used to wake up and cry out of know where. Michael would always claim that he always sees a shadow man at the end of his bed every night when he woke up which caused him to cry out of know where. On March 11th, 1955 at the age of 15 Michael and the rest of the Manson family moved to a little place in Ohio.

His parents thought moving might help their son forget about the shadow he clams to alwas see. But what they thought turned out to be wrong. Two weeks after moving into the new house Michael started claiming on seeing the shadow man again. So his parents had no choice but to take him to see a therapist. After seeing the therapist a few times a week for three weeks Michael seemed to become somewhat better.

Michael was acting better until a few months later Michael’s parents would hear him talking to someone in his room, but when they opened the door he was the only one in there. Michael started saying that a man of the name Jeffery Connor was after him. Michael also said that the man use to be a serial killer and murdered his great Grandfather Leonard Manson back in 1896, and that he was going to do the same to him, but of course his parents didn’t believe him. One day Michael’s mother was in the kitchen cooking dinner for their family. After dinner his mother went to dump the dishes into the garbage disposal, but it did not start.

Mrs. Manson thought something might have got clogged in it so she stuck her hand down in it. When she stuck her hand down in it she heard a sound and took her hand out. The weird thing is as soon as she took her hand out it suddenly turned on. Mrs. Manson quickly shut off the garbage disposal, but as soon as she did that everything else in the kitchen suddenly turned on. She thought it was weird, but was scared at the same time she felt a cold draft and went to the window to close it and she saw right out the window in the light of the moon and saw a black shadow just standing there looking towards the house, the shadow was shaped like a man.

Then the shadow disappeared and she turned around and there looking at her was the shadow right in front of her. Michael and his dad heard a scream and rushed to the kitchen to see what was wrong. By time they got into the kitchen all they found was Mrs. Manson lying right on the kitchen floor passed out unconscious. Mr. Manson called 911 and had his wife rushed to the hospital instantly!
