I thought I saw a ghost!  | | Have you ever looked into the eyes of someone and thought you saw someone you knew it couldn't be? The person to whom you thought you were looking at has been deceased for years. Yet, standing before you is a person that looks exactly like that person!
This morning, at my grandson's basketball game, it happened! My son had told me that my first cousin's oldest son had been the referee at their very first game. But he had no idea he would show up at the games this morning. We were sitting there watching the game and my son reached over and said, "there he is!". I looked up toward the entrance and sure enough there he stood! I was amazed at what I was looking at! There was no mistaking who that man was! He had the pure image of his Dad, build, color, you name it. The only exception was his hair which is gray. His Dad died at the age of 50 from a kidney disease and never had hair. But, for that one thing, I thought I had seen a ghost!
I knew he kept looking toward us, but I had no idea that he actually recognized me after the many years it had been since I had seen him. But, as I got almost to the door, he reached out his arm and asked how I was doing and hugged me! I told him that he looked exactly like his Daddy and I couldn't have missed him. He told me that often people will come up to him in the grocery store that don't know him and will tell him that very thing.

Barb42 (2713) | 1 year ago | Our son and daughter both resemble us. People have seen them out and don't know them but know us. They will ask them if they know one of us and they tell them that they look just like us. I don't really think they favor us all that much. But this man looks exactly like his Dad, even in his mannerisms and his smile. When he was younger, he favored him, but nothing like he does now.

patriciaqualls (4604) | 1 year ago | My grandpa that adopted my sister and I when we were younger I met his son and he looked so much like him I didn't know who to call grandpa. Honestly it was pretty neat they looked like twins. Both of their names were Robert so I just kept calling them Robert instead of grandpa.

| | 2. OreoCookie3 (18837) | 1 year ago | That is amazing. I only had an experience once, and it was fleeting. My grandfather had died, and I went to Florida to be at his funeral. On the way home a man looked like my grandfather from the back of is head. He was sitting in the isle seat about 4 rows up, and he looked just like him from the back. I knew it wasn't him because we had just buried him.

Barb42 (2713) | 1 year ago | OreoCookie, I've had that experience several times. We get the back of people's heads in our mind. I've often thought I saw my youngest brother from the back of the head, only to find out it wasn't him.

| | 3. GardenGerty (20605) | 1 year ago | My experiences were not quite like that, but similar. I went to my hubby's home town one year. He was visiting in the home of his cousin, and in walked her adult daughter, and said "Uncle Butch". Well that was hubby's dad, who died twenty years ago. This summer I went to my dad's twenty fifth anniversary. A man walked in and I knew he was family, he looked so much like Dad. It was his second cousin.

| | 4. mentalward (4381)  | 1 year ago | I know that feeling! But, it wasn't someone I had met after a long time, it's my own son!
One of my sons looks so much like his father that it's spooky! Actually, from what I've heard, his father is dying of cancer right now (might already be dead or it was an elaborate and cruel lie to get out of the child support arrears he owes me) so it won't be long before my son gets those looks from people who think they're seeing a ghost!
It's really something, isn't it? I mean, the way some people can look exactly like one of their parents!
I've seen myself before, well, except for the hair color. THAT was a strange feeling! It was a local ad for a TV news station where one of the anchormen was walking along a city street and talking. Behind him, a woman was walking in the same direction. She looked SO MUCH like me that I started getting phone calls from friends telling me that they saw me on TV! LOL
Her hair was much blonder than mine is and a little longer but, other than that, she looked exactly like me! I guess I just have one of those faces.
I think it was so cool that he recognized you and made the effort to let you know! Otherwise, you might still be thinking you saw a ghost!

| | 5. sparkofinsanity (3542) | 1 year ago | I ran into a woman at the mall once that I thought was my mother in law. I was so shocked to see her that before I could really think clearly, I blurted out "Jean! What are you doing here? You're dead!" Poor woman turned white and I thought she was going to faint...
