A Ghost Story?

In summer of 1948 I was about 10yrs old, the Family was having a nice evening, we (children) were rolling around on the grass having a good ole time. My Mom told me to go to the store to buy her a pack of cigarettes, my cousin Tony (13yrs old). So off we went it was about 9PM and we were a little afraid, not terrified, apprehensive would describe it best.

We were walking down in the middle of the street talking and actually laughing and as we approached the intersection we heard rustling like dry leaves, this intersection had a house on the NW, NE, SE, but on the SW it was a vacant lot with Johnson Grass almost as tall as the fire hydrant on the corner of that lot. Tony and I looked around to see where the sound came from and it was from that lot by that time we directly under the streetlight and all of a sudden I saw this women with her white hair pulled back into a bun dressed in a long white starched dress jump over this fire hydrant and disappear. I got so darned scared that I told Tony I was going home. Mom was a little upset (no Cigs).

In 1978, my Mom passed and Tony was by then a minister and led prayer at Moms service, after Mass was over, he sat down next to me and talked about Mom and things she used to do, then he asked me "Rita let me ask you something, do you remember that night we went to the store to get cigarettes? I said yes, he continued with, did you see that woman? I said yes, then he said "Thank God, I didn't say anything to you because I thought I was imagining things". Tony and I had never talked about it, not even to ourselves and we were there. Now I do believe that it was an Angel, protecting two children.
