Reading your site has prompted me to share an occurance that I had in 1992 at work. Proir to my experience i had an open mind.

I had a part time job in Barbers Petrol Station in Northwich, Cheshire, England which involved working late alone.

The building I learned was quite old and not entirely pleasant to be in at night alone.

New to the job, it was taking me longer than usual to cash up, and I had switched off the lights to let people know the shift was over. My concentration was suddenly broken when goosebumps appeared on my arm and the hair stood up on my neck, and somthing made me look up slowly.

>From the counter behind which I was working a transparant shape seemed to form as a figure which moved toward the door. I could see through the shape but objects appeared blurred, I was terrified- needless to say I made a quick escape.

The best likeness i have seen is on the film Predater when the alien bends light to become camouflaged.

Weeks later when I had all but passed the incident off as my imagination, I mentioned to a colleage that somthing weird happened and she went pale- so before I described my ordeal I asked her to describe hers, she described the same occurences- my turn to go pale again...
