The Shoulder Tap

Around six or seven in the morning my sister, Melissa, could not sleep because it was too hot.  She got out of bed and went to the basement couch where it was much cooler.  She was facing the back board of the couch when she heard someone running towards the couch.  It stopped for an instant and then someone landed laying down next to her on the couch.  This person started to tap her on the shoulder and so she whipped around to see nothing.  Nothing was in the room with Melissa.   She got up and ran back to her room.

Melissa says she did not have a bad feeling when it happened and she actually says that more often then not.  You have to wonder what the spirits motives were?  Was it just playing around or was it trying to get her attention.  Trying to warn her of something that was going to happen.  Really, ghosts have a strong influence over humans.  "Since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved."(Machiavelli)  Ghosts only have to tap someone on the shoulder to make them run away.  What if something else happened in the room once my sister had left.  Why else would the spirit do what it did, then to hide something bigger.
