-I do NOT own this story-

One cold winter night, sixteen-year-old Katie was home alone. It had been snowing all that afternoon but had just recently stopped, after studying for a few hours she decided to relax a little. The television was positioned in front of a one-side of the glass sliding door that led to the patio and the back yard. By midnight Katie's parents still hadn't come home and she was gripped with fear because she could've sworn that she caught a glimpse of a very strange looking man staring at her standing outside the glass door behind the television. Katie called the police and soon there was a patrol car not far from her house. The police showed up and Katie told them about the stranger who was standing outside, staring through the glass. The police opened up the glass sliding door and looked around. They explained that there could not have been anyone standing back there, as there would've been footprints in the snow. As they were about to leave the house, one of the police saw something behind the couch. There were footprints behind the couch on the carpet, she hadn't seen the man outside the door...

She'd seen his reflection when he was standing behind her...
