A Random Encounter
Rate this encounter:
Adam -- Slough, United Kingdom -- Summer 1974
I have had many experiences over the years. I am posting this
because I bought
The Ghost Files and found out about Ghostvillage.com.
I have never been
shy about talking about my encounters but I have never seen a relative or
friend, nor have I or been in a historic building or landmark when my encounters occurred. It has always been
random. I never have a warning when they are about to happen. It just...happens.
Most are quite ordinary I suppose, but two encounters in my 20's were
physical and terrifying. One, in particularly, occured when I was aged 14. I delivered newspapers before
school. This morning it was a bright blue sky and about 6.30 a.m. The girl
that sorted the papers out had mixed them up. I realised this when I
took the paper out the sack for the first house.
I sat on the curb to rearrange them. It was a cul-de-sac, not a soul in sight or a car in
motion. I stood up everything in order, turned to go through the first gate
and there she was -- the ghost -- right in front of me.
This was summer so I was in a tee shirt and jean jacket. This lady was dressed for a cold winter. She was at least
60 years old and stood about 5 ft 2". She had a head scarf and a heavy winter coat that went below her
knees. She wore Derry boots (sheep skin lined ankle boots with a zip up the front).
She also donned black framed glasses. She looked me straight in the face and
had a big open smile, and looked solid as you or I.
"Morning! It is a lovely day isn't it" I said. She said nothing, just looked and smiled.
I continued, "You on an early
shift?" No response. She just looked and smiled. I was feeling a bit uncomfortable and
remember thinking
idiot. I then said "I'm running late, I'd better crack
on."
Right then she disappeared. Not a fade away type of vanishing but like a
light being turned off. The only thing I felt at that
point was ridged fear. I don't know why it happened or if it was a message.
Maybe it was an imprint ghost.
This was my first obvious encounter. I tend to ignore shadows or voices and put them down to being tired or lucid
dreaming. But when I'm awake and active and I have encounters I know they are
real.
