The Man in Brown

When I was about 14 years old, I went into Belfast City Centre one afternoon shopping with my mum for a new camera.

After I had purchased the camera, we decided to pop into a local bar for a drink of coke. While we were sat at our table, I took the camera out of the bag to look at it and a man in a brown suit, brown tie and white shirt approached the table. He stood quietly looking at the camera I had just bought. I looked up at him a couple of times, expecting him to make conversation or comment on the camera, but after a couple of minutes he just turned and walked away.

I remarked to Mum that it was strange that he just stood there, but Mum said that she didn't see anyone. I looked around for him but he was gone. I remember there was a damp musty smell off him too. I definitely think he was a ghost.
