U-Shaped Ghost
In June 1995 I sighted an apparition at my brother's house in Manassas, VA. Three of us had gone onto the front porch, it was around 11PM and dark out except for the front porch light. After steping on the porch my nieces husband David said,looking across the road, "what's that light?". At the same time I too saw the light. It looked like an inverted "U", with circles where eyes might be and two triangles below each circle. The triangles were elongated with the point down so they looked somewhat like tears. (At least I thought so.) The apparition was about 2ft X 1.5ft and perhaps 3-4ft off the ground. It was dimly illuminated and the circle and triangle shapes were a little darker than the "body" of the apparition so they could be easily distinguished. It did not look like reflected light. It appeared for about 5 seconds or so, then disappeared. Long enough to get a good look at it.
It was very quite and dark out that night. My brothers house faces and is across the road from ! ! an abandoned cemetery. The sighting looked like it was on the edge of the road and the cemetery is about 3-4ft from the road. The cemetery is completely abandoned and uncared for. Some of the grave markers have the last name Fair, one 12 year old girl is buried there named Pearl Fair. Other markers are just a piece of slate in the ground with no writting on them that can be seen. There is also a story of two brothers buried there who killed each other over a woman.( I don't know if that is a true story or not.)
The man who lived on one side of the cemetry had his workshop near the edge of the cemetery and had died there a few years eariler. My brother thinks the road passing by the cemetery may have been built right over the cemetery since it is so close to the road. I probably would not have thought much of the sighting had it been a cloud or mist without form, but what I saw did have shape and symmetry, in fact it displayed bilateral symmetry common in most organisms. The ot! ! her person on the porch with me that night could not describe what I saw, although he saw a light also. I don't know what it was we saw that night, but it seemed paranormal to me. I remember I had an uneasy feeling after seeing this thing. As I said this took place in Manassas, VA. However, we were several miles from the famous Civil War battlefield, so I don't think there is any connection there. The sighting was something I'll never forget and am planning on going to the cemetery to take photos to see if anything shows up on film.
