The Pointing Ninja of Xi

Hello everyone my name is Dominic. I have never written a creepy pasta before, nor do I intend on writing another one. I am simply posting this TRUE story on here so that other people may be able to see what I have seen...

For those of you who have a Playstation 3, you should know by now that there is a Playstation Home where you can make your own avatar, play games, collect items, etc.

You also probably know of a place called: The XI Museum.

Which (according to the Playstation Wiki) is a "tribute to the Xi game that was on Playstation Home in 2009. It contains a video and slideshow discussing the previous game. Currently, it has two areas that contain mini-games, along with 11 XI collectible rewards."

I would first like to point out that I never was part of the original XI game; but I have been to the museum many times and have learned that it was one of the first console-based/virtual world-based alternate reality games (look it up if you have to). However, what I saw recently had nothing to do with the museum, or the old game...as far as I know.

It happened about 10 days ago when I got bored and decided to enter the XI museum for some maze games. Before I continue, I need to explain what this museum looks like: It is a rather big room with two portals that lead you to games, stairs that lead to the "second floor", poor lighting, and NO MUSIC AT ALL. Not to mention, the museum was made to look like it was old and run-down.

As you can imagine, it is a creepy place to be when your alone. (Back to the story) as soon as I entered, I saw that the entire place was empty (which is really common) except for that there was a guy dressed as a: Ninjutsu warrior - golden dragon sitting in front of a pedestal which allows you to go shopping.

This pedestal is in the very center of the room, so it is hard to miss. I slowly walked up to him and noticed that he was crouching and kept pointing in the direction I came from. In order for some-one to do this, they would have to press about 3 buttons for every point they made. And this guy KEPT DOING IT! I walked around the room for about 5 minutes and he never stopped or walked around.

He just kept crouching and pointing! I finally decided to leave the room and play some games which I did for about half an hour. I decided to return to the main room to see if the ninja was still there...and he was...still crouching and pointing in the same direction.

I now knew that something was weird, so I decided to leave my person standing there, watching the ninja to see how long he would keep this up. Eventually, I got bored just watching it and walked out of my room to play basketball with my dad.

We played for about 1 hour or so before I came back to my room, only to find that the ninja was still sitting there POINTING! I was starting to get creeped out (probably because it was getting dark out) but I still watched him, waiting for him to stop. I then entered what would be the longest 20 minutes of my life as I just sat next to him, waiting for...something! Half-way through, people did start coming in and out of the museum, but no-one payed much attention to me or the ninja.

I began to wonder if this was just a glitch and maybe I could only see him. However, some people did stop to point at the ninja (trying to mimic him) so I wasn't the only one who could see him. After my long wait, I had enough, the museum was empty again and I sat in front of the (still pointing) ninja. I began to point back at him (no response), I walked to the direction he was pointing (nothing happened), I even sent him a friend request...with no response at all.

I should also mention now, that I think his username is dehart67. At last, I thought of something that no-one had tried. I was sure it wouldn't work, but I gave it a go. I sat in front of him and typed: "What are you pointing at?" As soon as my message appeared (to my surprise) a thought bubble appeared over his head and the pointing stopped. I finally thought I had stopped the creepiness!

However, I was dead wrong. The ninja instantly replied with this and only this: "5890." And as soon as he said it, the ninja vanished as if the person controlling him just shut off their entire console! I was just left sitting there...wondering what I had just saw...

When I realized he wasn't coming back; I left the museum and played some other games. I was actually pretty freaked out by what had happened and found myself shivering a few times. I also began to notice that it seemed as if all the games were taking a REALLY long time to load. This could have been random, but it was odd that it happened right after the ninja left.

The next day, I called my friend: Tyler and told him about what happened. He responded by saying that he had played his PS3 that morning and saw the SAME NINJA! He then told me that he hadn't talked to it like I did, so there is no telling if the response would have been the same. He just thought it was a glitch. I should note that my friend kids around a lot, so his story may or may not be true.

So there you have it. As I mentioned before, this story is indeed true and I suppose its completely possible for someone to do this. But I just find it so odd and random. I'm afraid that is all I know as of now and I apologize for not having theories or any pictures to back up my story. If you have your own theories or stories, please tell me. I would love to here them.
