The Story of Blue Jeans |
I remember when I was only 8 years old me and my friends JoAnna and Rachel were outside in broad daylight and were playing freeze tag. Rachel had tagged me and I was frozen.While I was standing there waiting to be unfroze by JoAnna I saw a figure with blue jeans on suddenly appeared it waved to me and walked behind a tree I called time out and went behind the tree and there was nothing there.
I told my two friends the story but only JoAnna believed me.
Later that day my 3 year old sister Julie was sitting outside with my Dad listening to the radio.
Then a song came on that Julie liked and Julie said to my Dad "Daddy who sings this song?...I think its a pretty song!"
My Dad had the name of the band who sang the song on the tip of his tounge but just couldn't remember so he just said "I dont know Julie."
So then Julie just said "Okay fine! I will just go ask my friend over there...He knows everything!"
So little Julie went over to ask her friend and when she came back she said "My friend told me who sings the song!"
"Okay." my Dad said "Who sings the song?"
"Pearl Jam!" Julie replied proudly.
And Julie was right my Dad remembered who sang the song when Julie told him. My Dad ,JoAnna ,and me were all amazed (Rachel had gone home to eat lunch already and wasn't there).
So now me and JoAnna just call the Ghost Blue Jeans,Mr.BlueJeans, or B.J.
Now I'm 12 and still to this day I see B.J in my backyard.
For example last year when I was 11 I was up in my tree house with Rachel and I was leaning over the wall of the tree house and all of the sudden the wall broke Rachel screamed "HELP!!"
And then all of the sudden I felt two hands
on my stomach that pushed me back up! When I was able to stand up again I was
natious. After Rachel had screamed help for me my parents came running out of the
house and I told them what happened.
My Dad believed me about the hands pushing me back up but my Mom didn't...Unlike my Dad my
Mom didn't believe in ghosts at that time...She just said I must have just caught my
balance. My friend JoAnna says she has seen him in my yard too.
Another time I saw my friend B.J was earlier this year when me, Rachel and, JoAnna were
sleeping out in my backyard in a tent and my Dad had come outside to scare us...And
believe me he did a good job doing it.
Later that night we were looking out the window and we saw a guy sitting by a bush smoking a cigarette and we thought it was my Dad trying to scare us again because my Dad smokes.
When we got out of the tent to look the
figure basically disappeared and all you could see was the light from the cigarette.
When we got back in we could see the figure again.
Rachel said she didn't see anything and that me and JoAnna were crazy. But me and JoAnna just figured it was B.J and he had never tried to hurt us or scare us so we just went to sleep.
The next morning we found a piece of slate with the words Blue Jeans was here.
It freaked me and JoAnna out and Rachel accused me or JoAnna of writing it to make her believe in ghosts because she didn't believe in them.
Then just last week me, my Mom, my Dad, my sister Julie, JoAnna, Rachel, my Aunt Sheryl, my Uncle Mike, my cousin Ashley, and my cousin Stephanie had Just gotten back from a New Jersey Jackals baseball game and we made a campfire in my backyard and Me and JoAnna were telling my Aunt, Uncle and cousins about the thing with the tent and B.J and my uncle and Rachel just stated laughing because they didn't believe us.
Five minutes later we heard rustling behind
the bushes and banging noises and we all saw the figure of B.J.
Me and JoAnna figured that he got mad because they were laughing and then my Dad backed me
and JoAnna up and told them all about the incident with B.J when he told Julie who sang
the song.
Then from that day on my aunt uncle and
cousins believed in ghosts...even Rachel and my Mom believed in ghosts.
