This occurred to me quite some time ago, it was 1976, at a small college in Alabama. THe school was a catholic campus, and a seminary. The story was that one of the brothers walked the halls of one of the older dorms. Yeah right, I thought. I was 18 at the time, and somewhat skeptical.
I only attended one semester at this particular school. I gradually became afraid of certain areas of the grounds. There were places my dog, who was a happy go lucky (yes, stupid too) Irish setter, would tuck her tail and back away from, with the hair on her back standing on end.
The eve of my departure, I was sleeping in my dorm. I was not alone, I had a friend come to help my move back to atlanta, and at 0340 I woke feeling like someone was in the room! What I saw was the door of my dorm room (which incidentally was in the older part of the school) close and the deadbolt turn.I sensed the being had left, and oddly enough my friend was as awake as I, and just as wide eyed. We both said at the same time, did you see that? I bolted to the door and was in the hall in an instant. There was nobody there. I searched allup and down the hall, still no body was there.
I feel to this day, it was the old brother saying goodbye, and making a believer of me.
I have since had other experiences, but will save them for another day.
