This is really not a ghost story, but rather an unbelievable occurrence.
I received a diamond and white gold pendant from my husband to celebrate our first wedding anniversary back in 1967. Years later, while my hubby was deployed to Guam during the Vietnam "Conflict", I had it on and was shopping for clothes. I was in and out of dressing rooms, up and down aisles, on the hunt for a nice dress to wear once he was back home. When my shopping was done, I reached up to my neck chain, and the pendant was GONE! OMG I was so upset! What was totally perplexing is, that the chain was still securely around my neck! The pendant's bale was cast into the piece. (solid gold with no moving parts). How could it come off of the chain, but leave the chain intact?
I ran to a friend in the neighborhood's house to wail and cry about it, seeking commiseration, I guess. While I was there, I was fiddling with the hem on my blouse. I could feel something hard stuck within the hem. I had to get a seam ripper to release it (because by then, I knew it was the pendant!) How in Heaven's name did my pendant pass through the metal of the chain, and lodge itself into the hem of a shirt? The shirt was one of those tailored button down Oxford Shirts. The hems are small, the stitching is small and there is no connection from the neck of the garment to the hem. I used the seam ripper and there my diamond pendant was, unscathed, looking so innocent! That the chain was unbroken, the pendant was still in one piece, is the biggest mystery to this very day! I have chalked it up to one of those crazy things that will forever remain a mystery!
Anyone else have a story like this to share?
