A short ghost story.

[Grandpa Greenman]

I was at a meeting at the place my fellow Pagans hold our rituals. It was a pleasant night, with a lite breeze in the palms. As I was standing by my car getting ready to leave, when I saw a man in a cloak walking toward me. I had never seen him before, He was a pear of old fashion boots, My only thought was what cool boots. He walk past me and step off into the woods without a sound and disappeared. A friend on walked up to me and I said, did you see that guy. He said, what guy.

Flash forward 8 years. I am having lunch with a Pagan friend who also goes out there. We started taking about things we had done out there. She is a medium, she started telling me about a cloaked spirit walking through a circle. I ask, want kind of shoes was he wearing. She thought a moment, "Boots, old fashion Boots. I think he is from Florida's Spanish era, maybe a conquistador. I told her I was glad someone else had seen him, too.

Yeah, Pagan rituals then a ghost sighting. I'd imagine that happening a lot more often. Does it?

Had you told anyone of your ghost in the 8 years between the sighting and the Medium?

edited because I'm an idiot and called the medium a "middle"...mock as you will

Reminded me of the Spring-heeled Jack with his long black boots.

Depends on sensitive you are. I think most of the time they just blend into the crowd. We call in the ancestors I guess we shouldn't be surprised when the show up.

More like about five years between sightings. She saw him 2 years ago. I haven't told many people about it, I don't think anybody who she knew and I didn't know her back then she wasn't apart of what we were doing.

Your story reminds me of what often happens in paranormal events: other people didn't see it/hear anything.
