"I don't know who it was," Jamie said standing behind her parents, "But,
they kept calling and saying they were watching me." 

"Jamie, we live a few miles outside of town. Why and how would someone
call and say they were watching you? Besides, your shades are closed," 
Jamie's father. 

"I don't know," Jamie said. "But, it scared me." 

Jamie's father opened the shades in her bedroom to reveal that no one
was outside. "See? No one outside," her father said. "You were probably 
just having a nightmare or something. Go back to sleep now, Jamie." 
Jamie's father patted her on the head after lowering the shades. "Don't 
let the bedbugs bite." He went back to his bedroom. 

Jamie turned off her lights and got back in her bed, hoping the caller
wouldn't call back. An hour went by and she slept peacefully 
until.....BRRIIIINNNNGGGGGG. The phone rang and rang. Jamie didn't 
answer. The phone continued ringing. It didn't stop, so, Jamie was now 
getting mad at the proposed prank phone caller and answered. "What is 
it now?!?" 

"I'm still watching you," said the ghostly voice. 

"Yeah, sure," Jamie said. 

"It was nice of your father to come in your room and check," the voice
said. "Even nicer of him to raise the shades on your windows so that I 
could get a better look at you." 

Jamie's eyes widened, then, went back to normal. "Dad, stop fooling
around." She hung up. She couldn't believe her dad would try to scare 
her like this. Jamie closed her eyes. 

"I can still see you....." said a voice as it drifted in from outside
her window.
