Ghost!!

A few weeks ago (before I came down with the ear infection), we were doing one of our favorite things - walking through an old cemetery.  I love to look at the monuments and statues and just take in the serenity of it all. 

It was a beautiful day, the sun was out and warm on our faces and the breeze added a touch of  lightness to the day.  As I was walking through the mazes of tombstones, my mind seemed to drift back to the days before the cemetery became a cemetery.  I could almost envision the people and the setting....  Next thing I knew, a car came by and broke me out of my almost trance-like state.  For a few minutes I felt very confused and felt like I had misplaced something.  I could not recall walking the short distance I did walk to get up next to the narrow road.  I still cannot even bring back exactly what I was seeing or hearing during that short time, but just remember a sense of another time.

I know I felt a little rattled by it, but decided to walk into another area and hoped that whatever I felt like I was forgetting would come back to me.  I stood on another hill looking out over the rolling slopes of statues and stones and as I scanned the scenery, a dark figure briefly caught my eye.  As I caught my breath and immediately looked back to see what exactly it was, it was gone.  I knew without a doubt that it had been an apparition and my impression was that it was a woman.  The moment took my breath away, made me slightly dizzy, and gave me little goose bumps all over my arms and neck.  That's my signal that I know I experienced something.

We walked over to where I had seen her and in that area were two little tombstones of children.  One had died as an infant, the other at two years old.  I felt a little chill in that area as I recalled what I could of her appearance.  Unfortunately, all I could see was dark - dark clothes, dark hair or bonnet, and her face was dark as well. 

After staying in that spot for a little while longer, I was ready to leave.  After experiencing both of those things in a short amount of time, I felt I had reached my "quota" of paranormal experiences that day!  LOL
