Having previously studied behaviourism and psychology I have always been a bit cynical about 'unexplained' events until a few things happend to me that I just could not find an explanation for
I will tell you about one of them............... A few years ago I was going visit a girl that I had just started 'going out with'. I arrived at her house late evening (9:30pm) and as I parked I noticed (in the rear view mirror) someone walk behind the car and towards a hedge. I could also see him in the 'side' mirrors - so there was definitely someone there. To put this into perspective - she lived by the shores of Loch Ness (in a house of course, in case anyone picks up on this
), and her house stands quite a distance from any neighbouring house. There is only one road that passes her house, and I knew that I did not pass anyone as I was driving and there were no 'exits', paths, etc that this person could have came from. Anyway, I turned around and all I saw was this 'black shadow' of a male which disappeard into the hedge.
I got out of the car and went over to the hedge to see if I could spot anything - nothing, and the hedge was 'solid' with no way through.
I went into the girlfriend's house and told her what had happened. She went very quiet before asking me to show her where about I saw this 'person'. After showing her the area she began to tell me how this part of the hedge used to be the entrance to the garden, but some years ago it was altered. Her mother and father had both died in this house, and supposedly every night (at the time I arrived at the house - 9.30pm) her father used to go out of this gate to check there was no one coming, before going back into the house to lock up
When I descrbed the rough size and shape of the 'shadow' it would appear to be very similar to that of her father
I still don't have a solution to what I saw that night. Believe me - I have gone through the usual 'skeptical' thoughts - was I tired?, could it have been a trick of the light?, etc, etc - but none of these apply. I believe that what I saw was real.
I had never had such an experience before. It was really exciting to experience such a thing. There were quite a few similar things that happened when I stayed in this house - I will tell you about them another time.
Anyone else got 'unusual' stories to tell?
