The Man in the Lab Coat
Rate this encounter:
Janice Weiss Truitt - Giessen, Germany - 1979
In 1979 I was in the U.S. Army, stationed in Giessen as a veterinary
technician for the medical service. We had a vet clinic in an old, WW
II-era, three-story, barracks-type building on the U.S. Army post in
Giessen. Our veterinary clinic was at one end of the building, on the first
floor with four rooms off a long, central hallway.
I was sitting behind my desk in the office area and happened to glance up
and to my left toward the doorway to the first room on the right. Much to my
amazement, a man in a long, white lab coat with horn rimmed glasses was
standing there looking back at me. I wouldn't say he was solid like a living
human, but there was enough to see his whole body from head to toe. He stood
looking at me for at least 30 seconds, turned to his left, and went through
the wall next to the doorway. Apparently in his lifetime it had been in that
spot. I have no idea what time period he was from. I would suspect the WW II
era. All I can tell you is that I didn't get "shivers," and I was not
alarmed or scared.
I "see" people all of the time out of the corner of my eye just strolling
through some of the places I have lived. I have no doubt the folks on the
other side have not really gone anywhere; they are with us.
