In late January of this year, I woke up in the middle of the night and had to go to the toilet. To get there, I had to go down a flight of stairs. As I reached the top of the stairs I looked down and saw two young girls in naval uniform playing with each other - they looked as if they were playing not inside a house, but in some recreational park or somewhere where there is plenty of space. They seemed oblivious to their domestic surroundings!
I couldn't hear them but I could see their grey / silvery outlines clearly. The colour of their uniforms was almost completely bleached out until it was close to sepia, what little colour there was looked very faint to me, but I could distinguish the darker shades of navy blue and deep red stripes on their clothes.
Although their outlines were easy to define, I could see straight through them.
One of the girls glanced up and noticed me looking down at them from the top of the stairs - at that very moment she broke away from her friend and ran off - disappearing through a side door (into the living room) and vanishing. Her friend followed straight after.
I stood there at the top of the stairs wondering whether I should go down there to the toilet or else pee in my tracksuit pants. I decided that peeing in my pants wasn't much of an option, so at the risk of confronting these two ghostly girls once more, I finally decided to take myself to the toilet downstairs.
I went down the stairs and turned on every light within reach as I walked through 2 more rooms before finally making it to the toilet. While I felt like I was taking the longest pee in my whole life, I continually looked over my shoulder and out of the corner of my eye for ghostly-looking girls playing about in the house.
There was no more sign of them...phew!
I finally went back up the stairs and got back into bed. My partner had woken up by now and before I could tell her about my experience, she told me that she'd just been dreaming about herself as a little girl, involved in some performance. She said she was dressed up in some national costume.
I asked her if it was a navy uniform and whether she had a friend in those days. She said no to both questions. I then told her, with as much detail as I could recall, what I'd just seen at the top of the stairs.
This was an experience that I'd never had before and I immediately began to wonder what it was that I'd experienced: had my partner shared her dream with me while we were asleep and that I was visualizing something residual at the top of the stairs after I woke up to go to the toilet? Or was the apparition of these girls something completely separate?
The description of the way the girls were dressed in the apparition seemed very similar to what my partner described herself as wearing in her dream.

Your theory sounds quite interesting. I am amazed at how often my partner says something and I was thinking that exact thing at the same time she said it. I'm not sure if that is because we are both settling into thought patterns that we routinely go through and we are both in tune with them, or whether there is something more to it.
Like with your experience, mine was slightly unsettling in that I didn't recall having any dream of girls playing in national costume before I awoke to answer a call of nature. I do feel that my partner is sensitive and psychic but, like me, she has no control over it (there's been several experiences to support my belief of this, but I won't expand on it here). I never feel ready for it when it happens, like with my sighting of these girls. They tend to be a surprise where I have no way to prepare for them.
If what I saw really was something supernatural, then these situations tend to occur when you least expect them to.
Thanks also for your kind feedback, sonri! 😊
