A picture is worth a thousand words, and I got two.

   Sometimes I wonder if spirits know that I am interested in them so they choose to let me know that they're there. It's so odd, because I have probably had more paranormal encounters than anyone I know. But, this was probably the most odd one of all. I was down taking pictures with my friends in this dark old place outside that looked like one of those turn-of-the-century photo places but has been over-grown with weeds and leaves over the years. There is a tree that looks ancient, and the vines hang down to the ground so you can go in it and it's like a jungle. There are quite a lot of those. They are so unbrushed up and meloncholy, but I think that's what makes them so pretty. I was posing to take a picture and I didn't notice until after, but there is a man by the tree that I just explained. We were the only ones there, or so I thought. He was see through, but yet, still seeable, if that makes sense. You could tell where his head and suit were and his face. It was obviously paranormal, because he was too ghostly to be live man but too easy to identify to be a camera glitch. And again, I was taking a picture, and under a different but similar tree, in the distance there was a young girl in a turn-of-the-century dress, hat, shoes, and umbrella. The man also was dressed in that style of clothing too. It was so appauling when then next day I overlooked the pictures, knowing that I had often traveled down there by myself for walks and for fun, because it is quite beautiful. But these pictures are so easy to identify. It's so obvious that there is someone there, though your mind wants to doubt it. But I know what I saw, and the feeling I got when I went down there was such sadness and I don't know why but it just drove me out in a hurry. You get the feeling in your gut that someone spent there last moments there,a family, maybe. The sadness was so awful that my gut hurts just thinking about being in that awful yet beautiful place. So to top everything off, just remember, maybe these people are guardian angels, and if they weren't here a family member of yours who has been near death could have died. I've never been in that situation but I know everyone has a guardian angel, a person who has once been here but died and is now looking out for us. Just think of them that way, because I know they aren't here to hurt us. Most of them, that is.
