{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"The Boy Who Wanted Him to Stay | After Midnight","description":"Angie had babysat for the family many times, so nothing about that Saturday night should have felt unusual.\n\nThen she began hearing footsteps upstairs while both children were asleep.\n\nFive-year-old Alex insisted another little boy sometimes came out of the playroom after bedtime. His parents had assumed he was imagining things, even when they began finding him standing alone in the hallway at night.\n\nAngie tried to believe the same thing. Then she saw a child-sized figure step into the hallway herself.\n\nBefore the night was over, she would learn that Alex’s mysterious playmate had been visiting for months—and lately, he had begun asking Alex to come into the playroom after everyone else was asleep.\n\n#RealGhostStories #GhostStories #Paranormal #GhostChild #HauntedPlayroom #ImaginaryFriend #ChildSpirit #HauntedHouse #ParanormalEncounter #Unexplained\n\nLove real ghost stories?
