Back when I was about 17 years old I remember one dark and windy night when I came home late from hanging out with some friends, we drove up to my house and they dropped me off and then they left. Before I walked up the steps to our porch I heard the dogs barking over by our shed so I looked towards our shed that was at the west side of our lot about 80 feet away from our house and I thought I saw my mother standing right in front of our shed. It looked like she was wearing one of her dark long night gowns. At first I didn't think much about it because I thought she was probably out getting some food for the dogs or getting something from inside the shed. As I called out to her she didn't reply back so I kept calling out to her asking her what she was doing over there and if she needed any help, but she still didn't say anything. I started to approach her thinking maybe she couldn't hear me because of the distance between the house and the shed or because of the loud sound of the wind blowing that night. When I was about half ways there I noticed that it wasn't my mother because I was able to see right through her and at once I knew it was a ghost so I immediately turned around and ran back towards the house and when I reached our porch I turned around to look back towards the shed and the lady was no longer there. I was just glad that I didn't walk all the way to her and then find out that it wasn't my mother. It took me some time after that incident to walk over by the shed during the night without being scared.
