Lavendar Woman
I attended StMary's College in southern Maryland (not to be confused with Mt.St. Mary's). It started out as a girls's school in the 1860's,only accessable by steamboat up the Patauxent River. It was alsothe original capital of Maryland and has one of the oldestchurches in the US, Trinity church, there. This was frequentlyinvaede by devil worshippers and once a friend and I were caughton a hillside while above us a black mass was performed-butthat's another story!
Anyway, my roomate and I were both sound asleep when suddenly,for no reason, we both came out of a sound sleep. I had a strangesensation that something was in the room with us but for somereason I did not want to turn my head to look. "Linda!"I hissed. "Look over there!"
"No way!", was her prompt reply.
I slowly turned my head and there was a woman, about 5 feet tall,dressed in the style of the mid-1800's with a long hoopskirt oflavender, a poke bonnet and a small reticule. I could see throughher. I was not afraid-she was very calm but seemed very sad andconfused. As I watched, she faded away. At other times, we used aquija board in the room and the marker practically leapt off theboard, moving too fast to make sense-almost as if someone were soanxious that our hands were being pulled along. We never foundanything out about any tragedy or who this woman could have been.
