I don't remember the exact date, just remember it was a Sunday. While it might have been confusing then, it definitely makes me wonder now. Here's my story......... I, along with my friends, had already planned to go to the park and play soccer. Some of my friends were unable to go due to some reasons I can't remember, that left only three of us. We figured we couldn't go to the park to play soccer (not enough players) so we decided to go my friend manny's house. Manny's parents were visiting some relatives, not too far away and weren't expected back till maybe later on that day. We all headed for manny's house, conversating and joking along the way. We took a short cut that led to us cutting through another's neighbor's house always landing us in manny's back yard. Kinda confusing I know, the neighborhoods were all drawn in, sorta like a maze, houses were very close to one another. Anyways, manny didn't have keys to his house so he jumped in through the back window. We entered and went to his room. I remember we played some video games then decided to watch a movie. It started to get dark and me and my other friend decided it was about time to start getting going. We weren't scared cause we were going to walk home together. Right as me and my friend started to debate on whether we should have someone pick us up or not, we hear knocks on the front door. It kinda startled us, we didn't expect it. We couldn't really see anyone through the peephole so we checked through the window. My other friend says," It's a weird looking man, he kinda looks like a homeless person" Those were the exact words outta my friend's mouth. We never thought it was a good idea to open the door but figured since it was three of us, we could probably out-fight the man, if necessary of course. He was a man that might have been in his mid-60's or so, clothes torn , very mysterious I might add. We opened and he asked for Maria, my friend manny's aunt who I never knew personally but had said hi to about two or three times before in the past. My friend says, " she's not here, why "?? The mysterious man stares into my friend manny's eyes and says, " is she here or not " ? Perplexed but not thinking much of the situation my friend says, " who are you, what do you want " ? The man, not saying anything, back-pedals slowly at first then suddenly till finally dissapearing. We glanze at each other, confused, a little scared. Not knowing exactly who this man was or what his intentions might have been, we decided to call my mother to come and pick us up. Next day, manny didn't show up for school. The entire week for that matter. I was really close to him. His family and mine would bar-b-q frequently, so we knew each other pretty good. The following friday I decided to go to his house to see what was going on. He sadly tells me that his aunt Maria, had passed away. I just couldn't believe it. Devastating for him and his family. We simultaneously brought up that mysterious man who had knocked on the door that Sunday, that man who was looking for his aunt Maria. Who was he??? I suggested my friend should tell his family about that man, with possibly bad intentions. My friend said he did and they didn't believe him. He said he's mom called him "crazy" and promised to punish him if he ever dared mentioned that again. He's kept quiet ever since. We know what we saw, and heard. That man bared an evil face not easily forgotten. Who was he and what did he want??? How it changed my life:I still wonder who that man was.
