Eerie

It's 3:45 am. I'm sitting with a friend in the garden of her building talking about this and that and then we come upon the topic of her trip to Europe last year. She starts telling me some really eerie stories about this house she stayed at in Madrid and the weird presence in this house. The benches we are sitting on are covered by a tarp (it being monsoon and all) and suddenly I see a weird shadow on the underside of the tarp and on the garden to my left. I don't say anything thinking that my friend can see whatever it is that is making this shadow, she sitting facing me. A second after this thought goes through my head she says, "What the f*** is that???" We jump up and go to where the cars are parked, all the time staring at this odd shadow on the grass. After a minute it disappears. For the life of us we can't make out the source of this shadow. I'm trying to justify it making some story about a tree in the distance and some wind, not even really convincing myself. And then I look up and of all the things I see a lady in white walking towards us!!! Can you believe it?? Of all the things, a lady in white.

Luckily my friend knew who she was. (though we did follow her to figure out what she was doing at 4am walking around. Nothing suspect there.) We both quickly called it a night and headed to our respective homes.

So in the end nothing really to report, though I am going to be sleeping (ha!) with the light on
