So I work in a relatively old school building here in Houston, Tx..... It's quiet, unless bombarded with citizens during our pantry days, other than that, not alot going here in the old Langston school building.
Well yesterday I'm walking out of my office to head to another office just down the hall. As I'm walking to the office, I see a, what looks like a man in his late 20s early 30s. He's headed to the water fountain. We catch each others eyes, slightly. "Hello how are you you?" He says. "I'm doing fine, and yourself?" I reply. "I'm well." He says with eloquence. After our brief exchange of words I reach to open the office door and attempt to catch another glimpse of this very charming young man, he's gone......When i realized what had just taken place, I froze with fear. Had i just seen a ghost, or an angel? What was interesting is that this man looked as if he stepped out of a 1970's movie. Neatly shaped afro, chocolate brown pant suit, cream butterfly collar dress shirt, and freshly polished brown shoes.....it's 2012.....
A few minutes after i left the co-worker's office I ran into our building security gaurd and the custodian. I asked them if they ran into a young man with brown suit and afro. They replied no just a very old elderly man in a brown suit. I replied "No this man is in his late 30s he couldn't be elderly, he moved too fast!"
"Naw, not that young!This man could barely walk!" " Ms. Cherry the security gaurd answered.
After I explained what happened to me they told me it was possible that I may have seen a ghost. The custodian shared her stories of shadows walking by doors and children laughing in the west wing of the building. Ms. Cherry gave us stories of the days working in old abandoned hospitals and the things she witnessed and experienced.
Don't get me wrong I LOVE to hear a good ghost story, I own almost every horror movie ever existed, but I don't believe in ghost....never have.... never will. I do however believe in angels. I believe they visit every now and then to comfort us when we're down or feeling uneasy about life. This young man intrigued me, he was so sweet and kind. Even though him and I had ten second conversation I felt comfort knowing he was there. I'm honored that he decided to show his self to me. Maybe he's the angel that the lord has assigned to watch over me???
Sometimes in my dreams I see a similar young man always hanging out in my dream. I could dream I'm at a carnival with my family and he's there standing by the ferris wheel. I've had dreams about singing on stage and the SAME guy is in the front row just staring at me while the whole audience is screaming with excitement. He would stare at me like he's proud of me and he's gonna be there for me. He's been my best friend in one dream, and when everyone in the dream laughed at me, he's taken up for me and holds me when I cry.....Who is he????....I don't know, but it was sure good to see one of his buddies on yesterday....to be continued......
