Hi Reddit. I'm looking for some kind of explanation for something that happened to me around 15 years ago. Only my mom knows about this experience as she was with me at the time. So I live in the UK and my best friend lived in Brighton which is by the seaside and I live in the city so any chance to visit the beach was something I jumped at as a child.
Brighton is known as the 'gay capital of the uk' and every year at gay pride, there is always loads of events and fun stuff going on so we always went to stay with my friend around that time. Brighton at that time is always really busy and to be honest, there's so much colour and energy, when you walk through the rammed small lanes throughout the town, everything passes by in kind of a blur and you can't really take it all in. Especially when you're 11/12 years old! Anyway that's the context.
But basically my friend, my friends mom, her 3 sisters, me and my mom were walking down a particular lane and we had to walk single file as there was a main road to the right of us. There were people walking single file on the left side of us walking in the opposite direction and it was in the middle of the day. So I'm walking along not really paying much attention, trying to hold on to my mom's hand as I didn't want to get lost in the crowd and trying not to bump into people but not really looking at people's faces or anything, just soaking up the atmosphere when for some reason I feel this massive urge to look to my left at the people walking on the path in the opposite direction.
Coming towards me is a man who looks around like 50/60ish and he looked native American. He was wearing just jeans and a t-shirt so nothing out of the ordinary but it was kind of a bit strange in itself in the middle of a gay pride event in a UK seaside down but hey, he could have been on holiday. As I looked at him it was like a split second (I can't exactly explain it really)but it was like my eyes went in x-ray view and this man was a skeleton walking past me. Everything behind him turned black and I could literally just see his skeleton still walking. It Only lasted like a split second and then everything popped back and he walked past. I squeezed my mom's hand so hard and she looked a bit pale and I said 'mom I just saw something weird'. She says 'yes me too, I saw that man's skeleton'. It was so weird. We kind of just looked at each other and my mom said we'd discuss it later because my friends mom was really religious and I guess my mom was worried what they'd think of us for explaining this bizarre experience.
My friend and her family didn't see anything. It was literally just me and mom. I spoke to her about it later and she'd seen the same thing, a native American looking man who one minute looked perfectly normal, and the next he was a skeleton.
I've never experienced anything else remotely paranormal. I believe in the paranormal sort of but I can't say I really fully believed and I still don't really. If it was just me that had seen it, I would have blamed it on my 11 year old imagination but my mom saw it too. Has anyone had any similar kind of experience? Any idea what it could have been? I've never experienced anything since so I'm pretty sure I'm not remotely special and don't have any psychic ability and neither has my mom.
