I went to my friend's house over the weekend to sleep over. My other friend was invited so we all went out to Ruby Tuesday's. We talked, ordered our food, went to the salad bar, and sat right back down. But in those five minutes when all of that happened, I could have sworn I saw someone that I saw recently like ten minutes ago.
I know, your thinking, "She probably just saw someone in a car who was happening to go to the same restaurant..." Hello, remember, this is a ghost experience!
Before we left my friend's house she showed me a picture of one of her uncles. He was maybe 90 or so. Looked pretty old. Sort of short and bald. So when we sat down at the table and was talking, I could see a man who looked exactly like her uncle at the table just few sections down. When we ordered our food, I looked at him again and saw him again but a little different. He looked see through. I wanted to point him out but I didn't want to say anything rude if it wasn't actually him. When we went up for the salad bar, I watched the ghostly man get up and walk over to my friend (she's the one who has the uncle). She hates salad so she just sat there. But the guy was sort of talking to her. She didn't know what he was saying, or even know that he was there. Then he sat at his seat again. When I sat down I looked over to see if he was there, but he vanished!
After we left I didn't see any more strange things. But 2 days later, I was on AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) my friend IMs me and says "Do you know my uncle?" I said no. She says "Oh, well, he died on Saturday. At night. He was about 90 and I haven't seen him in 3-4 years..." Although I was sad about her loss in the family, I was shocked!
Like I heard in many other stories about an occurrence like this, I still thought it was shocking!
