As a child I grew up in the same bedroom. For years of my life I have been plagued by insomnia and would stay awake all night. In the corner of my room (which had in fact been converted by a nursery) sat a woman. She rocked back and forth as if she was on a rocking chair but the chair never appeared in the apparition. She held her arms up as if she had a child in her arms but never really would ever look at the child. The woman herself was the scary part. She didn't do anything violent but her looks. She was a slightly older woman from what I could tell but half of her head was missing. As if it had been blown off. There were a few times where I'd try to interact but I quickly gave up on that when she actually responded to my queries. She wouldn't speak back but, she'd stand up and walk over to me. She'd appear behind me and begin to attempt to comb my hair. At one point me and some friends attempted to "banish" her. This went horribly wrong, not that anyone realized it till later. That morning when we woke up, on the outside of the house, was a bloody carving knife. I tried to explain it away as a human prank but it was on the outside wall on the second floor of the house. I'll never forget that woman.
