My family has a history of weird happenings. My grandmother on my father's side is a firm believer in the Paranormal and has tried to impress that same belief on me. My mother on the other hand, has always been a sceptic and disapproves of my grandmother's tall tales. I tend to side with my mom and write most things off as strange but explainable. Most of the goings-on have been confined to our home but this is the first experience of something in the wild and is I believe, my first actual sighting.
It was November last year, coming up on midnight. It was a cool night and road conditions were clear. Mom and me were driving back into town over a stretch of road called the 'Brae'. It's the secondary road into town and pretty desolate. There's a few farms dotted about the area but quite a lot of them are abandoned.
We'd been driving for about thirty minutes and were on a straight part of the road. I was on my phone while talking to mom. As I look up I see a figure of a girl suddenly appear. It's hard to put into words. It's not like the girl was lit up as the car moved forward or walked out from the edge of the road, she just appeared out of thin air in the middle of the road.
Mom braked but it was no good, there was no way we were stopping in time. The car skidded. I clenched my teeth and waited for the impact of the body hitting our car but nothing came. Our car ended up sideways on, basically blocking half the road but did not hit anything. I knew it was impossible, our car should have hit the girl who as far as I could see, didn't move.
I turned to mom and saw she was not moving. Panicking, I realised she had somehow been knocked out. I didn't understand how, we didn't hit anything and although our car had braked hard I don't think she hit her head. I shook her arm but she didn't respond. I kept prodding at her until I got a groan in return. As she came to, I turned to look and could see the figure behind us, completely fine. As I watched her, she disappeared as she had arrived.
Mom remembered seeing the girl but has no idea why she fell unconscious. She's 37, very fit and healthy with no previous medical issues.
She was wearing a large gold Michael Kors watch when all this happened. It was only after we got home she noticed it had stopped, roughly about the time we saw the girl.
