September 13, 2001 New York City

I have never told anybody this story before, but it is totally true. Maybe telling this story will be of some cathartic help to me.

I live in Queens , New York. I used to be able to see the World Trade Centre from my kitchen window, but now I just see the surviving buildings.

On the morning of September 2001, my boyfriend who I was living with at the time was getting ready to leave for work. He was running late as always, not that that has anything to do with the story as he worked in Queens, but just as he left the door the phone rang, and his Russian mother was on the phone asking for him. I said he was in the shower, and she said "did you see the news. An Aeroplane flew into the Empire State Building". I was totally flabbergasted and turned on the TV - and it was the first of the planes that had flown into the WTC on the screen. I rushed to the bathroom and shouted "a plane flew into the WTC". Disbelievingly he came out and watched the TV with me . Then left for work . Just before he got into the subway I called on his cellphone and said "a second plane has flown into the WTC". There was a general sense of disbelief. By the time he got off the subway I called again and said " The building has collapsed,", then the second one has collapsed. I took a couple of pictures out of the kitchen window before they collapsed and can scan them if anybody wants to see them, but they are just normal bad pics of Manhattan in the distance with smoke billowing out of the two buildings.

This is however not what my story is about. Two days later with the world still in shock, we kept watching the TV in disbelief and horror and when we went to bed that night we both had trouble getting to sleep. It was like trying to sleep in a room full of people. We cuddled for a bit both scared and uneasy, when they became visible. The room was filled with people standing around - looking unhappy and confused. They milled around the room for about an hour and then disappeared. I wish I could have helped them in their transition but I was too frightened.

it was a sad day in US history......and all you people thought it was a missle and crap

Wow, you're story is very strange. It gave me chills. Did you recognize any of the people? Did they do anything other than stand there?

I did not recognize any of the people- but then again I have never tried looking at photographs of them. There was one woman in her early thirties dressed in a business suit who kept walking to the bed and trying to tell me something. She had short dark hair and a darkish fitted suit. She looked anxious to get the message across. What it was I will never know. I think fear blocked out any potential for communication.

maybe she was trying to tell you to tell her family something.......

In the past 3 years I have often felt that if I had handled the situation differently I could have potentially helped her family in dealing with their loss. Society has taught us to fear transient souls which is a great pity, they aren't here to harm us.

I think most people would be scared of that very same situation. In human nature we want to help most of the time, but pride and fear can block your sense of doing what is right.

If you thought of those people as strangers who just knocked on your apartment door as opposed to ghosts, how would have that changed your ability to help them?

Would you be sympathetic to a stranger asking you to use your phone in case of an emergency? Or would fear of them possibly being a slick home invader keep you from offering your phone?

Things to ponder, tough for anyone...

Well, one ghost is one thing, but a whole freaking room full of ghosts? I'd have soiled my pants...

BTW, I've heard that Ground Zero in New York, NY is now one of the most haunted places on Earth... Even now, as construction begins on Freedom Tower, people report bad vibes that makes them not want to be in that area, sightings of spirits, etc...

That must have been a long night for you!..I dont imagine sleep came easily to you.
One of the remote viewers from project grill flame was tasked with viewing the TWA flight that was bombed, and he said the hardest part came to him when people that had been on the flight that were dead, were looking to him for answers and were disillusioned by the fact that they did not know they were dead from such a sudden event.

Just awful and sad.

P.S thundercloud were did you hear about the hauntings at ground zero, i have not read much about that?

Thanks for the U2U thundercloud....interesting story
