The Face in the Window As told by Destinee, 08/25/00...
This girl was home all alone watching TV on a cold winter night. The
television was right beside a sliding glass door, and the blinds were
open.
Suddenly she saw a wrinkled old man staring at her through the glass!
She
screamed, then grabbed the phone next to the couch and pulled a blanket
over
her head so the guy couldn't see her while she called the police. She was
so
terrified that she remained under the blanket until the police got there.
It
had snowed a lot during the day, so the police naturally decided to look
for
footprints. But there were no footprints at all on the snowy ground
outside
the sliding door. Puzzled, the police went back inside the house – and
that's
when they saw the wet footprints on the floor leading up to the couch
where
the girl was still sitting.
The policemen looked at each other nervously.
"Miss, you're extremely lucky," one of them finally said to her.
"Why?"
she
asked. "Because," he said, "the man wasn't outside at all. He was in
here,
standing right behind the couch! What you saw in the window was his
reflection."
