Well, today I have had what I would describe as being the strangest experience of my life.
I was in the city and I decided I would take a wander up to the cathedral for a wee while. I walked clockwise round the cathedral (I walked down to the left from the front) looking at the various gravestones as I went. When I got to the back down by the wall, I saw a man (in his 60s?) wearing a grey suit, we said hello, spoke about the weather etc and he said he was looking for Jack Baldano (Belldano or Bolldano maybe? It's not a surname I am familiar with), I said I didn't know where to find him but I would look as I was walking. I said goodbye then turned away to carry on walking, then decided to suggest to him that if he couldn't find it to perhaps ask someone at the cathedral as I'm sure they would know. I turned back and, I am being completely honest, he had gone. Now, I had only turned around for a matter of seconds and this was an older man who didn't look like he could move very fast and even if he could, he would've had to have sprinted full pelt from the split second my back was turned to get round the corner before I turned round again and even then I'm not sure it would be possible. I hesitate to use the word ghost but I can't explain it any other way. The thing that's freaking me out the most is the fact that I actually conversed with him and he seemed just like any other man, person, human, whatever.
I've tried Googling for Jack Baldano but nothing, does this name ring a bell with anyone on here?
I appreciate I am probably going to get a fair bit of "Yeah, right, whatever. You are talking shite!" but I swear every word is true.
Ching Ching!!!!!!!
