Pretty strange story, not one of the strangest I’m saving or building up to share here…. Around ten, maybe fifteen years ago I was working around an industrial estate as a machine operator. I’d pulled a Sunday shift, 7-3, standard one really… I’d worked the full week and at the end of that shift I’d just about got to my limit and I was feeling tired… I locked up after a couple of other guys had left and started walking up to the bus station. The layout of the estate was fairly open, you could see pretty much everything and everybody as you were walking. To this day, and believe me it really is still as clear as day in my mind, I have no idea where she came from, a woman literally ten feet away from me as I’m walking with a large ginger Tom in her arms. And she looked like she was in her night wear barefoot. So I stopped, because it felt off. Hairs on the back of my neck off. I asked her if she was alright. To which she replied, Kitty is sad, kitty’s not got a home, can you take kitty….? I think it took me a second but I said I already had a cat etc, and she repeated it all again and looked up at me. Now I said it was off, the entire look of the situation, but soon as I got a look at her eyes my entire body felt like it had ice water all over it. I can’t really put it in to words but the word Crazy and Looney were pretty predominate in my mind. So I’m apologising, and she’s repeating and getting louder. She was a skinny thing and I’m a big guy, but I was getting afraid, again, no idea how or why I’m reacting like this. So the fight or flight reflex is in full swing. I ended up side stepping a couple of times apologising all the way, and walked (majority backwards..) toward where the bus station was. Here’s the thing. She was out of my eye sight for maybe thirty seconds, when I crossed on to a side street. I still had a full view of her. And she was gone. In the middle of a wide open space. No place to go. Still gives me the willies thinking about it. Don’t know what happened that day, and I’ve tried to explain it to myself, look for a logical explanation, told my wife too. She literally vanished. I don’t work down there anymore, and I’m kind of glad.
