The room in the west side of my house

One day I was reading in a room in the west side of my house with my 2 cousins, my brother, and our private teacher. While we were working on our homework, our private teacher exclaimed "OMG!!! we are late for praying!" He told me and my 7 year old cousin to stay in the room while he, my brother, and my 15 year old cousin go and pray. Me and my cousin were doing our homework until suddenly there was a blackout! Me and my cousin got scared because there were no candles in the room and our teacher was all the way in the east side of the house. We heard a knock on the window when she and I were going to the other room to get a candle. "Knock, Knock" "Knock, Knock" My cousin got really scared after the knocks on the window. But, I was brave enough to open the window and see what was knocking the window. I saw nothing but our cow mooing like a yard away from the window. Right then, I felt some cold air passing through me. The air gave me shivers. I thought it was just the wind so I closed the window. For a few minutes we heard nothing but the paper clip falling from the table. It was really hot after I closed the window so, I opened the window again to get some air. Then the same cold air passed through me again. It was starting to get a little creepy. But that's not the end. I saw somebody or something walking in the graveyard that is right next to our backyard. i thought it was just my dream but my cousin saw it and told me it was real. Which, FYI, freaked us out!!!! we didn't have a good feeling about what was going on. then a white figure came out of nowhere and started making creepy noises. The white figure kept getting close to us every second. By the time the white figure was about one inch close to touching us, the electricity came back and my brother came to get us. when me and my cousin looked at the window, we saw nothing and the window was closed. from that day on nobody went to THE ROOM IN THE WEST SIDE OF MY HOUSE.
