Yes, this is a ghost story, But it shoudn't scare anyone. Because, at least this ghost was rather friendly. I made a video about what happened that day at the "Metropolitan Museum Of Art," just so viewers could see that I didn't have antlers coming out of my head or something. And that I'm quite a normal and ordinary person.

I was just doing a job, just like any other normal working stiff, when something very unusual happened. The Vatican had lent the museum one of it's very treasured collections. But before the public could view the collection a gallery had to be made ready for each specific grouping. Anyway, that day, I was in a gallery that contained fragments of the cross that Christ carried at Calvery.

Till that day, I hadn't even been aware that fragments of the cross still remained. And I was just amazed that somehow I ended up in a gallery all alone with fragments of the cross that Christ carried at Calvery. At least, I thought I was all alone. I was told that there was only one way into the gallery. And that no one could get in, unless they had a key to the locked door that was in front of me.

But yet,, someone wearing a security uniform seemed to walk through a wall and into the gallery where I was. But, I'm not the type of person that gets easily flustered, so I calmly asked the person, "what are you doing here?"

"Im always here," was his response."

I told him "that anyone that comes into this gallery has to log into the log book and list their name and department."

After, he signed I said to him again, "what are you doing here?"

And his response was "I came her because I wanted to meet you in person."

Looking perplexed, I asked, 'why would you wan't to meet me in person?"

He answered, "because your antics" have us all laughing."

"Who is us?" I asked.

"Oh just me and my friends," he answered.

"How come I've never seen you and your friends before?" I asked.

"Oh, were very hard to see," he answered.

At that point, I just figured that perhaps this guy was just a harmless ecentric, and was looking to strike up a conversation. And he talked for quite a while about things that only a long time employee of the 'Metropolitan Museum Of Art' would know. And I have to say, he was quite a good conversationalist.

After talking about various subjects, my unusual visitor at last said, "I've got to go now."

I watched with amazement, as he walked toward the wall, and then vanished into it. Later, I asked one of my co-workers, "did you ever notice a guy around here that seems to walk through walls?"

"No, I don't know anyone around here that walks through walls, but let me see the log book, and I'll see if I know the name," my co-worker said laughingly.

"Well, you've been here forever, so if anyone knows the name, it's got to be you," I said.

Looking stuned, my co-worker asked, "are you sure this guy signed the log book?"

"Yeah, I'm sure, why do you ask?" I replied?

"I'm asking because this guy worked here for a long time, but he died 15 years ago," my co-worker replied.

So, why did this happen to me? A lot of people work at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art, and there are quite a few of them that are rather ecentric, and I would imagine that quite a few of them would be more than happy to talk to a ghost about art, if the opportunity availed itself. I just don't know why this ghost thought I was so entertaining. But perhaps the video may hold some clues. I just honestly don't know. Anyway, this is the link to the video, I made on Youtube a while back. www.youtube.com/watch
