emember my first experience? Where it happened? I just came back here at our old house and not more than a year ago same things still happen.

After I came back, and that was the month of September, do you remember? As popularized by a song by Earth, Wind and Fire, and in the good spirit of the song, we started a booze, (drinking for you older coots) spree on the 21st.

Now after much of the drinking up to the wee hours of the morning we started talking about serious stuff. It was then that I declared we are all pretty much drunk that were no fun anymore. I asked the guys and the gals to adjourn. There was nothing left of the 3 cases of beer, a vodka, and 5 bottles of rhum mixed with grape juice, name “tandgrape” in these locale.

So we decided to go home, since I was the nearest they decided to walk me home. I thought “damn, as I was just about planning to go somewhere else with one of the girls”. Oh well I thought I live to die another day anyways, we proceed.

As we were walking along blocks of street laughing and sharing stories, we arrived at the block where I live. As we approach I noticed a black shadow beside a tree positioned outside the house on the corner street. The same house where the apparition I saw on my first experience disappeared into. And this was about 15 years ago.

” As we approach I noticed a black shadow beside a tree positioned outside the house on the corner street.”

What came to mind immediately is that it was maybe a burglar on the look-out. I nudged one of the friends I was with and asked if they saw the shadow beside the tree. Cautious and drunk as they were, they started to tip-toe to take a closer look. The ladies were pretty much clueless of what was going on. I leave them at that so there’s less panic. As we near the corner block, the shadow doesn’t seem to move, and then to my surprise my friends scolded me that I was having them scared and that there was no one there. Cezar my friend even quipped, “You just start seeing things when you get drunk! Are Your Drunk?”… then they laughed. I was pretty much sober than them since I’m the last guy to ever get drunk in any drinking sessions (My friends can attest to that). So I laughed with them and agreed I was playing with them. But in the corner of my eye I still see the shadow and I can now distinguish the human shape, the body built and height… Heck! I was hoping I could see the face, but I can’t. It looks just like a solid mass of blackness.

So we said our goodbyes without me telling them anything about what I saw that they couldn’t. After I got into my house, my mobile rang and there was a sms coming from one of my friends. He told me he smelled oddly enough a flower scent from the corner block we were in and a candle scent. So I texted back and told him, it was nothing, but I said Ill talk to him more about this in the morning.
