Here's something unusual...

This incident is narrated by my friend Martin Cornell:

"When I was a child I shared a room with my brother. One night, I suddenly woke up, it must be around 3am, just looked around as I felt some movement and suddenly saw that there was a woman in a green dress standing in the corner of my room! In panic I jumped and went to wake my brother but he didn't wake up no matter how hard I tried. I then went back to my bed, under my blanket and tried to tell myself what I saw was not real.
As soon as I thought that, I looked again, she suddenly turned her head and stared straight at me. Then in a weak, trembling voice she said "You know, you look just like my little boy; Graham". I panicked. It was all indeed real.
I got up and jumped on my brother's bed again and started shaking him. This time I was successful to get him near consciousness. But as he was starting to wake up, the woman in the green dress looked out the window as if waiting for someone and then looked back at me and said "I have to go now...Graham, you take care dear". And then she glided behind the curtain, towards the window and got lost in the shadows.
I narrated the incident at lengths to everyone the next day. To this day no one believes me in my family. We left the house later when my father relocated to another city.
I was totally convinced about what I saw. It wasn't like I was 3 years old or anything, I must have been at least 11 years old and I still remember every piece of detail of that night.
The green color, the lady, her stare, her deep weary eyes and her voice. Sometimes in my dreams, I still hear her calling me..."Graham...Graham..."
