I don't think this is really a ghost or haunting story but it is weird so thought i would share :)
When i was a teen ,one of my sisters and i used to work part time at an old opp shop ( second hand shop ) The place was actually a huge old house turned into an opp shop by a lady (Mrs Laurence ) who owned the house ...My sis and i used to pretty much help out ( the pay was **** ) on a sat morn and sometimes in the holidays...Sometimes we worked with this lady but most of the time she wasn't there as she was getting pretty old ....Anyway just a quick lay out of the place first as it is quite important ....You would walk in through a front door and the first room pretty much contained the front counter plus a lots of boxes and shelves of old books magazines etc ...Then you walked through another door and you could either go right which led to one room that was full of clothes or you could walk straight ahead down a long corridor which had 2 doors to the left and 2 to the right ..One of the ones on the left led to what would have been prob the living room of the house it was pretty big and in this room there was a massive array of second hand toys,bikes ,kids books etc.... On the door of this room there was one of those ( sorry don't know what they are called ) beaded kind of curtain things that you had to walk through to get in this room,i have no idea why that was there but it was ..Now the layout was pretty straight forward and not a place one would easily get lost in .....Anyway many times when people would come in, most of them mums with kids ,the kids would go straight to this room to check out all the toys while the mums browsed at everything else ....Now i don't know how many time over the few years while working there , my sis and i had mums, who after browsing for a while would go to look for their kids in this room ,only to not be able to find it ...I can remember many times saying to them ,"go straight down the corridor and take a left through the door with the beaded curtain "only to get the usual response of "yes that's the one i went into" ....So we would have to take them down the corridor ourselves and show them the way ...I can remember many puzzled mums who said " but that's the door i went through before and this wasn't the toy room ,it was different " .....Anyway over the years i never really thought much of it ...I don't really believe in hauntings and it wasn't until i had a recent convo with my sis that i really began to think about it a bit more ...Could these ladies have seen a glimps of the past or experienced some kind of timewarp ? ,i'm not sure what to think as my sis and i never experienced anything other than seeing this room as the toy room ......
Sorry should have been glimpse of the past :)
