For those that donnot believe, Trust me one day whether, today or in the near future you will encounter something so strange that will make you a believer. the year was 1972, I was in high school and it was a style trend that everyone was wearing the FARMERS PANTS. They were the in thing to have. well i pested my mother and begged for a pair, she got so tired of me asking that she gave me the money so I could go and buy me a pair.

I went to school on a thursday as usual met with my friends and me and my best friend were going after school to find and buy the farmers pants. We hop on the bus and went to Belmont ave, thats where everyone went at the time to buy everything from food to clothing. we got there and started to look for a bargain, But everywhere we went they were asking to much money for the pants, We just kept on looking, untill we turn to another street and there was a jewelry store at the corner and next to that was and a fish market on the other side and in the middle of the two stores was a little shop with the FARMERS PANTS, handing from the shop!! we immediatley ran to it and there was a little old lady sitting in front of the store. We ask her how much for the pants? She replied $10 dollars", We looked at each other and agree to buy them. We were so happy that we found a bargain, We went inside and I guess her husband got the sizes for us and put them in a paper brown bag, we gave him the money and left the store happy as can be.

well the next day I went to school wearing the farmers pants, untill I saw that my friend didnt have hers on. I asked her what happen? she said they were to small and we had to go back and return them and get a larger size. I accompanied her back to the store, The only problem was that when we got there we saw that the store was burnt down, We asked the man in front of the fish market? What happened to the store? and were the two old people ok, He looked at us as if we were crazy, we asked him again, and this time he replied, "Girls can you tell me how those folks look like ? We told and decribed them to him, with amazed and surprise look he said, "I dont know what to tell you but the people you just described were the owners, but this store and the owners have been gone for 15yrs and this store has been burn down since. we looked at each other with amazement, disbelief, and fear. we started to walk to the bue stop when we stopped and look at each other and said, what in gods name just happen?

I went home and told my mom what had happened and continue to my room, where I took the FARMERS PANTS off and threw them away. This I have lived with up to this date, Were we in another time for that split moment, did ghost sell us those pants or were we crazy? you just dont know! You just dont know!
