The next day, I played outside in the snow with my four year old daughter. I was so scared, I jumped into bed and covered myself with the covers. Her face was covered in shadow and hair, but I saw her chin and nose. I jerked away instantly, afraid she had seen me. The woman was standing in the middle of the backyard, no longer at the edge of the woods, facing the house with her head tilted up to look directly at the window I was peeking from. It was a clear night, so the backyard wasn't shrouded in darkness. My hands were shaking as I pulled the curtain back a bit and peeked through the shades into the backyard. Something compelled me to hesitate by the windows. As I was doing so, I suddenly got that same deep dread feeling in my stomach that I had gotten the first time I saw the figure in the backyard. Our bedroom looks out over the backyard, and my side of the bed faces the windows, so I have to go past them to get in. Everything was dark, because my wife had gone to bed before me. Later that same night, I was in the bedroom, getting ready to go to sleep. Coming back upstairs afterward, I looked out the window and she was gone again. It was freezing cold, so I shut the door and locked it. She didn't make any sort of indcation that she'd heard me. Leaning out, I called to her to see if she was okay. That's when I did something I shouldn't have. I was even more creeped out when I realized she was in the same clothes as the night before. The hair on my arms and neck stood up straight when I saw her.

She was exactly like she was the night before, facing away, not moving. The next night, I went down again, and as I passed the back door, I looked outside. The whole scene creeped me out instantly, but I thought she might be a friend of our downstairs neighbor, so I continued to the basement. It had lots of flowing material coming off of it that was whipping around in the air slowly. She was dressed in nothing but a light gown. Her back was to me, and she was just standing there, looking into the woods beyond our yard. There was a figure standing at the far edge of our yard. Six days ago, I was going down to the basement to bring up some laundry and I glanced out the door as I passed. There's a door at the bottom of the stairs before the door to the basement that looks out onto our back porch and into the back yard.

We live in the second floor of a duplex with stairs down the back of the house to the basement where the laundry machines are. If what I seem to ramble, please forgive me. It doesn't touch me, it doesn't communicate in any sort of way, it just fills me with horror. I don't know what it wants, but almost every night since I started seeing it, it has terrorized me. I've tried to tell my wife about this, but she's a science teacher and thanks to my history of practical jokes, she thinks I'm just kidding.
