Ghosts or Angels?

When I was thirteen, I was at home one day during summer vacation. I was sitting in the living room, watching T.V., and I got the feeling someone was watching me.

I turned my head towards the door (which was still closed) and there in front of it was a grey man standing about 7-8' tall. By grey, I mean he was all grey! His clothes, his face, his body, ALL grey!!!! He didn't have any distinct features, but at the same time he was solid. His clothing reminded me (at the time) of the rain suits that fishermen wear, except of course grey instead of yellow. He had a long coat and a roand brim hat on.

He just stood there watching me, and I him. And for some reason I eventually just calmly looked away. A few minutes later it dawned on me that that man shouldn't have been in my living room !!!! Why had I not freaked out?!!! He was gone now, he had left as silently as he had come. I just don't know why he had come, or why I had been overcome by calmness as I stared into his blank face.

A few years later I had become more interested in the paranormal and often experienced seeing shadows drifting through my, and others' houses, but none of the same solid forms as the Grey Man, until one night when I spent the night at a friends and awoke in the middle of the night to use the restroom. I washed my face off and as soon as I raised up I saw behind me in the mirror the Tall, solid, long coat wearing, featureless figure. Only this time he was black and I was instantly filled with terror!!!!!

Needless to say I ran back into my friends room and didn't sleep the rest of the night. I told my friends mother (who also believes in the paranormal) and she said it may have been an angel both times and that there are dark angels as well as good ones. At the time I had been becoming more religious and she said that might have been why he was bothering me.

Well I have no explainations, but in the last year I have found on a different sight about "shadow people" drawings of the same image I had seen.

If anyone knows what it was or has seen the same thing feek free to E-mail me at: scaredofthedark1@aol.com
