strange, But True

By r. so. uumtun

stiange stories often fouow in mg wake of war. The one I am now going to set down for your en- tertainment takes us back to 1942, 1,, gn airport in the southwest of England. My informant. an offic- ., in the R. A. F. had been hos- iiltalized from wounds received in ,. mid over Germany. The day of his return to active duty was chil- ly and foggy. He was walking a- miss the airfield. when he saw a uniiornied man emerge from one of me buildings. Upon nearer ap- pr0RCll my informant stated that he identified the fellow as s broth- or flying officer. "MacFadyen," my informant exclaimed, "I'm sure bind to see you againl"

The man made no reply, but me right on walking, looking reitlier to the right nor left. "Mac- Fgdycll," he shouted. "why all the hurry? Haven't you time for a word with an old buddy? still the re- ticnting figure made no reply. Just kept on walking with his head oent slightly forward.

Very much surprised at getting he cold shoulder, as the saying goes. my informant entered an- 3lilCl' building and reported to his iuperior officer who was pleased :0 see him back again.

"You seem to be upset about gqmcllllllg," he observed. ”Didn't see 8. ghost. did you?"

”No, sir, but I just passed Mac- Fgdyen on my way here and he never gave me a hello nor any sign of recognition. though I call- rd altcr him a. couple of times.”

"You never saw MacFadyen. my boy," said the superior officer. 'beCause he was killed last night orcr the Ruhr!"

sounds at bit. like a. tall tale. doesn't. it? Yet the man who told me the strange story. a. couple of months ago, vowed that it is abso- lutely true. and as he seems to be a pretty solid sort of individual I ac- :rptecl the story for Strange But riuc without any "ifs or buts." lllicalise I myself have read many supposedly true accounts of ghost planes over Europe in World War 11. If ghost planes were seen then it seems reasonable enough there would be ghost pilots too.

William Blake's dead brother, Rtlbert. instructed him in a dream how to reproduce his exquisite de- signs, mingled with verse. by a process of sketching and writing in reverse on plates rendered im- pervious to acid, except where the pen had touched them.

Robert Louis Stevenson and Ed- gar Allan Poe admitted that much of their best works came to them during the hours of sleep.

The most interesting dream of modern times which has come my way. has to do with F. H. Grise- wood who. as a boy had a dream that went on and on for 14 nights, in which he saw what appears to have been part of a former life in the days of King Charles I.

The 14 night dream gave Grise- wood a good knowledge of that part of England where the dream
