Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

I have always hoped to have a ghostly encounter. Mind you, I like to believe ghosts can’t harm me, even though many people here talk about dark experiences they have had.

I have had very few moments in my life where I thought perhaps something paranormal was occurring. This very short story is one of those moments.

I still am not convinced my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me, but it happened several years ago, and it always sticks in my mind as something surreal.

I was driving home late one night when I was in High School, probably about 13 years ago. I traveled frequently down this road that led through the older historic “Rich Neighborhoods” that had many old houses that have Texas Historic Markers. This street in question has many newer, more modern houses lining each side. It is very well lit, and nothing ominous about it.

As I was driving I saw something strange, I had not been drinking or taken any mind altering substances (I was pretty straight-laced), it was a regular evening.

I remember seeing a car coming toward me from the opposite direction. Bright headlights, a curved modern shape, and lights all around in the houses… very normal.

I remember blinking, and for a moment everything looked completely different. The houses that lined the street.. seemed to be gone.. just faded to black, the trees remained. The road also remained, and where the car was, I could see two very dim circular lights heading toward me…. reminded me of an Old Model T type Car or something from that early automobile era.  It was distinctly different from the headlights I had seen before.

I blinked again… all was back to normal. The car continued to head toward me, very bright lights, sleek, and modern looking. The houses were back along the street. It happened so fast, yet I distinctly remember seeing it.

I have always thought I saw something that night I couldn’t explain… but, like I said… could have been my eyes playing tricks on me.

Sorry, not very spooky… but I was wondering if people ever have a glimpse of the past. It happened right in front of an entrance to an even older area with big old rich houses from the past. It is a special area, mainly because even though the houses are old, the area itself was an old Military base during WWI and before.
