The Cloaked Figure in Nesbitt Elementary

It was early in the morning about, 7 AM -- I had arrived at
Nesbitt Elementary School for summer cleaning. I am a janitor, presently
42 years of age, and I never saw any spirits before or since this
experience.
The school was build 1912 so it's been around a while. It's a
three-story building with a basement, and our office was in the
basement. Around 7 AM, I entered the office and was greeted by three
other employees. I then went up to the second floor -- I think, to check
on something, I don't really remember what -- the hallways are wide and
long, and you cannot see the classroom when standing in the hallway
because they are not flush with the walls but indented in from the walls
about two feet. Getting back to what I saw -- you know when you think
you see something out of the corner of your eye, you turn, and there is
nothing there? Well, I turned and for about two seconds, moving like a
slow passing wind, I could not believe my eyes. (Every time I tell this
story I get goosebumps.) Coming out from one indentation where the
classroom door is, across the hallway, and disappearing through another
wall indentation where another classroom was, I saw a black, cloaked
figure. I know what I saw and it was real. My hair stood up, and it
still does when I tell the story. I ran down and told the guys.
That's my encounter. When I saw this figure I did not feel
threatened by it, it seemed to be going somewhere totally ignoring me --
like I was not destined to see it. Like it had somewhere else to be, but
why in the school? I guess a school that's so old, many souls have come
and gone -- I don't know.
