Most of us have a story or two of things that happened to us that we can't explain in “real world terms”. You wanna share?

I have one such experience. Now I have to say I’m not in any way religious (an atheist in fact – sorry if that offends, it wasn’t intended to) but I was raised a catholic and catholic guilt may have possibly had a hand in this. Here goes.

I was about 10. It was a sunny Sunday morning and I had just missed mass (but I don’t remember feeling guilty about it). I was fascinated with this mirror I had and I was shining it all over the place. I spotted this fly on the path and thought it would be really neat to shine the mirror on it and fry it (nice kid hey). Anyway, when I shined the mirror on the path a woman appeared within the reflected square frame of light. Now I’m reluctant to say this (because of the religious connotations) but she did have a veil on and it was like she was adjusting her veil in front of a vanity or something. Anyway the thing lasted for about a minute until I got scared and stopped shining the mirror. The image was so clear and there was nothing between the mirror and the path that could have obstructed the beam to make that image. I suppose my mind and catholic guilt is the only explanation but since then I have never had a apparition or imagined anything like that.

Anyone have an unexplained story they’d like to share?
