The people
______
Okay, so my sister is kind of... sensitive? It's something my entire family accepts, since she seems to get targeted the most with the sorts of weird things that happen on our property. I have some theories about why, but even typing them makes me feel weird.
Anyway, my sister tends to have I guess what are walking visions when she's in the barn. She's not got any kind of mental illness, she just sees people that she swears are there.
The way our barn is set up, is that in the main section is a central platform running the length of the barn, and then there's a gutter separating the main platform from the cow stalls. One night, my sister was on the main platform, behind the cows doing her own thing. She looked up, and thought she saw me in front of the cows, scowling at her.
This isn't unusual, I'm kind of a grouchy person, but the way that "I" was looking at her was kind of too hostile. Apparently, this me didn't say anything or do anything aside for just glower. My sister kind of brushed it off, thinking I was being a more testy me.
Actually, I was up in the milkhouse, talking to my parents when this happened to her, which is all the way on the other end of the barn. Probably a couple hundred feet.
My sister comes up into the milkhouse, and says, "Oh," when she sees me. "You sure moved fast." We all three give her a look.
"I was up here for the past five minutes," I tell my sister.
She falters a bit, a small smile on her face because she thinks I'm kidding her. "Huh-unh," she denies. "I just saw you down there. You were scowling at me."
At this point, I was feeling uneasy. I don't like being told I have something that looks like me appearing to my sister. "Okay, so maybe I was astral projecting to make your ass hurry up," I respond.
She's frowning now, more thoughtful than scared. "No! I swear I saw you."
"She was up here the whole time," my mom chimes in.
My sister frowns a little more. "No, you were there. You looked really angry."
Later, she would tell me that she didn't look exactly like me, just enough so that at a glance my sister mistook whoever she saw for me. The girl she saw had a thinner face, looked meaner, and had longer, blonde hair.
The other person she saw was of a young man, and this one kind of freaked me out. One afternoon, we were up in the calf barn, moving things around and talking when she mentioned having seen a guy up there before, but was acting weird.
I gave her one of my patented squinty looks, and asked, "What guy." She quickly protested she was telling the truth.
"I saw a guy up here," she explained. "He was cringing up against the wall and sort of smiling at me. He looked like he was nervous to see me, and was afraid I might hurt him. He was young and had blonde hair. He looked like the brother of that woman I see sometimes." So I asked what she did.
"I told him to stay where he was, and did the chores upstairs. He did, and when I went to leave, he was already gone."
Nobody else had ever seen anybody like that on the farm before, or the woman she sometimes sees.

my mom thinks that if you're open to seeing ghosts and such you're more likely to see them, and they're less likely to show up if you're closed off or afraid of them. i don't think that sounds stupid either. i mean, who the hell really knows, anyway? any explanation is a decent one.
