I live on a small side street just off a really big main road. To get to school every morning I have to walk up this main road a little bit and then catch a bus from there. I do this every morning.
A few times I have seen a little boy in a really old fashioned school uniform, with little shorts and a cap, walking down the road. But the minute I look away and then turn back to look again he's gone. There's nowhere for him to go because from where I walk, you can see everything. I've seen him quite a few times, he doesn't scare me, I'm just interested in him.
So on one particular morning, I didn't see the little boy and I was wondering why and where he was. I got to the bus stop and there was no one else there that morning. All of a sudden, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a flash of white, in the shape of a person, running across the road. There was a car coming very quickly down the road at the same time and they collided.
I gasped really loudly, thinking that someone had just been hit by a car right in front of my eyes. The car carried on driving and I was terrified that this person had been left dead in the middle of the road.
I looked over with my eyes kind of closed, because I was really scared that I was about to see a dead body, and there was nothing there. Literally nothing. No one had run in front of the car and the car hadn't hit anything.
I was in shock and nearly missed my bus because I was so busy looking at this empty spot in the road.
I don't know whether it was the same spirit as the little boy, whether he was hit by a car and that's how he died? What do you guys think?
You may be right about him warning the OP about how fast the cars go in that area. But I also agree that he is showing her where and how he died.
Hetti I would go to the library and look up accidents on this particular road. You might find your answer there.
