It took awhile for me, Donna and her to make connections to meet at the apartment, but we finally did.  My attorney, whom I had known for along time, also knew I had dealt with spirits  and had asked if he could go on the next ghost hunt we went on.  He also knew another property manager who had experience with spirits also.  So I called him.  Well we had a full house that evening.  Not much happened that evening.  I think we may have scared her at least I know Gary did.  I did feel someone.  Donna saw her.  But she wasn't coming out for anyone that night.  So we did take some pictures, and while we were in one of the bedrooms, the spirit opened up the oven door in the kitchen.  Gary was acting strange.  People do that when they are in a situation like we were in.  His first ghost time, (he had watched too much T.V.)  We felt he was the cause of  the old lady not coming out.  There was something that frightened her about him.  Donna told Lisa this lady died of cancer.  The pictures we took of her showed a yellow image.  The old lady was very medicated during parts of the day.  And if we were to do anything with her we would have to come back when she was less medicated.   (Even as a spirit she was still living those last days of her life, some parts of the day she was very active, some parts of the day she was not).  We wanted to come back during her up times.

Donna and I both figured we had better come back to this one later.  We didn't tell anyone that night but Donna had seen another spirit next door to the duplex we were at, she saw him standing in the door way, and thought that was the place we were suppose to be at, but I said no we are supposed to be here at this one.  And we weren’t going to go knocking of strangers doors. 

 A couple of weeks later we finally got back together with Lisa, we had a lot of questions, and she was not able to answer all of them, but her mother could.  She lived next door to Lisa. Remember the man (spirit) Donna saw the first night we drove up.  Talk about coincidence . . .   Well when you approach people.  You sometimes have to walk on egg shells in the beginning.  Some people believe and some do not, even if the spirit knocked them over the head.  Lisa's mom was very receptive about everything.  Donna talked to her for a while.  Lisa's Mom had lived on this street for many years.  She knew the old lady who lived in the apartment Lisa was in.  All she knew  the lady had been very sick.  She did have someone taking care of her 24 hours a day.   But she had died a couple of years ago.  Donna then asks her the big question,  "Who was the man dressed in a white military shirt with dark military pants, that is in her apartment (spirit)?"  Her mother just started crying, I mean crying.  Even reading this, you won't believe the rest of this story.  But believe me it is all true . . .     Donna talked to her and calmed her down.  She said she didn't mean to upset her.  Lisa's mom knew whom Donna was talking about, she knew!  We didn't, we were all sitting around wonder what was going on.  We had come over to one duplex to get rid of an old lady who had been hanging around, and find another spirit next door.  And then on top of that, Donna said they weren't the only ones, there was one more, a child.  Lisa's mom really started crying after that.    So we took a break.   Her mother went over to her duplex and brought back some pictures to show us.  The man (spirit) whom was with her was her old fiancé who had died in a helicopter crash in Viet Nam.  He had been badly burned from the head down to his waist and did not live long after the crash.

 Lisa's mom had just started seeing an old friend of her fiances from years ago.  She showed us a picture of him.  He looked just like my friend Gary the attorney.  They could have been brothers.  Donna told Lisa's mom it may have been why the old lady was so upset over Gary, she thought Gary was this man  Lisa's mom was seeing and she didn't like him at all.   And Donna told her she didn't like him either, it was like he had something to do with the crash.  Lisa's mom said they  were old army buddies and he was on the helicopter also when it crashed.  Donna felt that he had something to do with the crash but didn't know what.  We did know he was the pilot.   This evening was really getting interesting, and confusing.  It was exciting, and just unbelievable.

Donna told Lisa's mom that she had something of her fiances hanging in her closet, something that he treasured very much.  She had his war medals she had also never told anyone they were there.  For years and years she never knew where he had been buried.  She had taken his death really bad at the time.  She also told us she was pregnant at the time he died and she lost the baby.  She never asked the family where he was buried.  A few years ago, she started writing every military cemetery  she could write to see if she could find is burial place.  She said it was like a crusade, she couldn't stop until she found it.  And she did, and she went.  She also took pictures of his grave stone.  When looking at one of the pictures you can see helicopter blades with an image of a body.   You have to see the pictures she took, really unreal.  She also told us that she knew he came back with her to the apartment and she knew he was there and she had never felt more protected.  

Then one day his  old buddy  shows up at her house. Just out of the blue.  He wanted to start dating her, and she had been out with him a couple of times.  Well remember those pieces of puzzle you start putting together to get the big picture, well.  They finally started to fall right into place. 

Then the coincidental meeting of Melanie and Lisa, Melanie introducing me to Lisa, me knowing Donna, and Gary being there when he was and looking so much like his old army buddy!  And the child, possibly the child  she lost.  The old lady was a diversion, to bring us to the other spirits.  For some reason Lisa's mom was not to have anything to do with this man who had just showed up from the blue.
