I was walking across a very long field along a very narrow pathway that leads to a parking lot. I could see across the whole field except where a small island of thin trees partly cut my view to the left. As I was walking, I never saw anyone onto the field. Then shortly after I passed the set of trees, literally in a blink of an eye, two teenagers appeared no more than 20 feet ahead of me, going in the same direction as mine. In the corner of my eyes, I never saw them approach me. So, I was stunned and wondering where they came from.

Perhaps they came from behind the thin trees. But I was 90 feet from the trees. I would have had at least 20 seconds available to see them coming from there. Also this was the fall season, and most leaves were on the ground. So, I could easily see through the trees. I should have seen them from a long way away. Also I should have heard their footsteps cracking the dead leaves or their feet shuffling through the tall grass. Even after they appeared to me, their footsteps made no noise at all! They never turned their heads to look at me, and never acknowledged my presence. Nevertheless I could see them talking, but I never heard any voices!

This field is dead quiet. I go through that field all the time. I can easily see or hear someone from at least 120 feet, especially when they converge toward me, as this was the case with these two teenagers. Moreover they were dressed in identical black pants and identical black jackets. Black is a color that stands out so easily against the green field. It is simply impossible to miss this, especially that there were two of them!

About 30 seconds later, I saw them skip over a 2-feet tall guardrail that leads to an empty parking lot. I then saw them proceeding straight ahead onto the parking lot. I looked away for a couple of seconds, and then I looked back at them. They had vanished! The entire parking lot was empty. There was no place to hide. Where did they go?

With the help of my son, we tried to recreate the events to see if it is at all possible that I might simply have been absent-minded and missed seeing them coming toward me then disappear 30 seconds later. My son and I tried different scenarios, and I could always very easily see and hear him.

I don't know what to think of this encounter with those two teenagers. I think that they were teenagers because at one point, I saw the side of the face of one of them--he looked young. They were not dressed in the fashion of today at all. As they appeared to me, it felt like they were from another period of time. I felt that they didn’t fit the current space-time. Finally they appeared to me as three-dimensional entities, so, quite unlike the usual ghost sightings.
