My name is Jeanne. My experience happened at school my freshman year (2 years ago). It was mid December right before school was out for Christmas vacation. It was the last class of the day, my teacher wanted to decorate the class with Christmas decorations. I didn't really feel like decorating so I sat at my desk reading a magazine. On my desk, there was a red rose but it was one of thoses plastic roses that you use to decorate for Christmas. I had the magazine on my lap and my arms crossed with my head looking down reading. From the corner of my eye I saw "someone" pass by and touch the rose with a soft and gentle touch. After the touch the rose fell on the floor. I didn't look up right away because I wanted to finish reading the last sentance of the story. When I looked up there was no one there. Only my class mates standing in the back of the room decorating. I had asked my friend if he had passed by my desk he said no. I told him what I saw but he just thought I was crazy. He said I moved the desk and that's what caused the rose to fall- BUT... it wasn't me if I had my arms crossed and I wasn't even touching the desk!?
