The Girl With the Ring
Rate this encounter:
Jess Evans, York, England, April 19, 2006
This story starts when my dad had to go into hospital. I went to visit him,
and that day didn't feel quite the same. I didn't realize why, but do you
get he feeling something really is not right, but you don't know what it is?
Well that is how my day started out. Nevertheless I carried on as if nothing
was wrong.
Me and my brother and mother got into the car to go and visit my father in
hospital and I was talking to my mom about the new course I was starting at
school. I glanced slightly at her and there was somebody else sitting where
my mother was once sitting -- a girl much younger than me was sitting in the
seat next to me -- now this was freaky. I didn't know if it was my
imagination at this point, or weather it was actually happening, it's not
something you would expect to happen while sitting in a car. The day went on
and there was no sign of this little girl, she wasn't scary or threatening
in any way, she was just a girl. When we got to the hospital, my dad asked
me to go and get him a drink, so I did. I went down the stairs of the
hospital because the lifts were out of order. Halfway down the stairs, I
heard a giggle. It was a sweet giggle. I though my brother had followed me
so I looked up and there stood the girl again. It was as if she was looking
straight through me as if I wasn't there. I asked her name, she just stared.
I asked her if she needed help, she just stared at me still. She pulled her
hand out from behind her back and stretched it out in front of her. She held
a ring. It was a very old fashioned ring, not something you would find in
common shops today. I picked it up out of her hand, she looked at me as if
she was at peace with the whole world. She give a little smile and walked
off. I tried to follow her but when I opened the door of the stairwell, she
had gone. I have kept the ring till this day, for some reason that girl
wanted me to have this ring and I'm privileged that she chose me. I have
never seen her again, but I am hoping she is at peace and forever happy.
