Please explain what I saw
I don’t even know if anyone’s going to read this but this is the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to me and I’ve been through some crazy stuff and I still can’t explain it. this happened around 6 years ago, I would’ve been around 13/14 at the time. I was with a few of my childhood friends (still till this day we are still friends and none of us can explain what happened we just genuinely ignore it). We were “playing out” or whatever in a park/ field around 15 mins from our houses- no word of a lie we looked over and inbetween 2 bushes that were seperating both fields stood my friend Sophie. Her exact figure her exact face her exact clothes, we all knew it was her because she was a dancer and she had this certain posture lol. She also used to have a massive iPhone that she used to hold in a specific way that you would just recognise if you knew her. She lived close to us at the time and we were all in the same friendship group so we just started calling her name- she didn’t move or react so we called out a few times again until she turned around and ran into the bushes behind her. I know it sounds like one of those typical horror movies but this genuinely happened and it gets worse. We obviously think she’s taking the mick so we follow her and actually begin to get worried because we can’t find her (of course) I kid you not this part still baffles me to this day, we are in the little block of woods where she ran and we are calling out her name again and again and again until we hear her shout “IM HERE” in her EXACT voice I know it sounds crazy but she has a very specific voice, same tone and everything. Of course we can’t find her after that so we call her a few minutes later and she picks up very confused obviously, us still thinking it’s a joke she tells us she’s at her aunties house which is the OTHER side of town. A 20 minute drive away. But she was just here. She genuinely was at her aunties house that day and till this day I still ask her to tell me if she’s been keeping a running prank on us but she genuinely isn’t. I just would like some sort of explanation I guess I was watching Reddit stories on YouTube and I just thought I’d tell my weird encounter
I know some stories can seem a little made up sometimes but genuinely this is completely true- all 3 of us say the exact same thing about that day start to finish so I know I’m not crazy lol
