A good friend of mine had a paranormal experience a number of years ago. He was driving back home late at night along a country lane (like me, he lives in the UK).
Anyhow as he was driving along, he saw up ahead in his headlights what looked to be a teenage girl dressed in 1980s clothing. She was sitting by the side of the road, curled up into a ball, with her head in her arms.
As my friend approached, he mentioned how he got a feeling of despair and depression wash over him. Part of him was naturally concerned as to why this girl was out in the middle of nowhere at this time of night.
Yet the really weird thing was to happen as his car approached alongside her. For she seemed to just fade away ‘like disappearing into the surroundings.’
It was at that point my friend says he noticed another weird thing. Just a few feet behind where this ghostly girl was, there seemed to be some black void. Whilst he admits that it was dark anyhow, this black void was exceptionally darker: so much so that it stood out.
As he saw this void, the feeling of despair and depression quickly changed to a sense of fear and despair. Like it was really dark and unpleasant, and he had the sense to get away as quickly as possible.
A few moments later and his vehicle had passed by where both this girl and the void thing were. Yet looking in his side mirror, he couldn't see either of them.
Plucking up the courage a few hundred feet down the road, he turned the vehicle around and headed back. Only to find neither the girl nor the void were there.
He swears that at the time this happened, he was wide awake and never felt so concerned by the whole experience.
Have any of you ever come across a haunting which has this black void (formless blob shape he described it as) in it?
Love to hear your response if so.
Ps - I did ask him if it could have been a shadow person he saw yet he said he didn't think so. For it was no way in the shape of a person.
