I thought she was just some person that had come into the building off the street. She looked at me and I looked at her, then she passed to the right of me down the other hallway. When I jumped up to follow her, there was no one there. I checked the halls, the bathrooms, and still, no sight of anyone. The next morning she returned -- woeful, the same wet hair and blue denim top, again stopping in front of me. Suddenly, I realized that the woman standing before me was dead and I froze in my seat, not daring to move. I never saw her below the waist, just from the waist up. Then, the saddened woman again disappeared once again down the hall.

I was growing a bit concerned when I saw her a third morning and I told my friend Joie, who occupied the cubicle beside mine. We checked to see if anyone had died in the building but no one had. We then began checking around the neighborhood and found that a young woman had been killed close by a few years earlier. Searching the web for a news article, we found nothing from the press; however, we did find a police report indicating that a young woman had been found along the Brandywine Creek, near our work place.

The woman had been dismembered and placed inside a suitcase. Her legs were missing. They had a picture of her clothes and I was shocked when I saw the lady's blouse - blue denim with white stripes and copper colored buttons. Her body was unclaimed and unidentified and later I saw the story featured on America's Most Wanted.

I tried to find out if there were any other sightings of this ghostly apparition, but I could not find any. In the course of looking for other sightings I ran across a lady named Leslie Rule who investigates these things. She said there was some unfinished business that was keeping the girl on earth. I had some Masses said for her, enrolled her for Perpetual Masses and I named her Mary Angel. I have never seen her since!

Sincerely,
