This happened when I went over to my friends house one time. We had told ghost stories all night and they lived out in the country so it was a spooky environment. My friend told me that they had a dog named Neil that had recently died of kidney failure. When we went to bed I woke to go to the bathroom. To get there I had to walk across the room. When I got there right in front of the door was a dog. It was a German Shepherd. It was pail and whimpered. It walked through the fall and I fainted. Next thing I knew a cold chill went down my back and woke me up. The dog had tried to lick me. I saw it for two seconds and then it disappeared. I told my friend and my description had fit Neil's. Could that have been his ghost?
