I just had something strange happen to me today. My dad owns a house at the end of our driveway that is pretty old and looks pretty shabby. He stores stuff in it and we call it his "junk" house. Anyway back when I was a little girl there was an elderly lady that lived there and she died when I was like 6 or 7 years old. There have been a few other people that lived in the house since then but they were young families and one elderly man. Anyway, my dad has had this house and stuff stored in it for at least 10 years. Today we were leaving and I stopped to check the mail at the end of the driveway like we have done a thousand times and all of a sudden my 5 year old said Mommy there was an old girl that lived in that house. I of course said yeah how did you know, expecting him to say that his papaw or mamaw one had told him that, and he said because I saw her. Kinda threw me for a sec so I said oh you did and he said yes she lived there before papaw had all his stuff in there. So I asked him what she looked like and he said sort of like Patsy which is my aunt that lives next to us. I said well did she talk to you and he said no, I said how did she look like Patsy and he said she had grey hair like her. I asked if he knew her name and he said no. I then asked him what she was doing and he said just laying there, she was just laying on the bed. Ok all of the rooms in this house is now just piled with stuff and no beds or furniture in them like they would have been before. He also told me she was wearing pajamas. I asked him how many times he had seen her and he said once. So I told him well I bet she was a nice lady and that if he saw her again to ask her what her name is and he said but I don't think she lives there anymore. I don't know, but he has never said anything like that before. I don't see how he could have made something like that up. |
