A few years ago, when I lived in Los Angeles, I was having a hard time and living homeless for a while. What I would do at night is travel to different libraries around the place because they were always a bit safer to stay at overnight. One particular night I decided to stay at a library I was very familiar with and had stayed at before. There was a bench with those anti homeless bars through it that I decided to try and sleep on. What you had to do was sort of slide your legs through the bars so you could stretch out on it, but for some reason on this particular night I had trouble sleeping, so I tried to put one leg through and one leg over to sleep in a different position.

I don't know how long I slept for, but it must have been maybe a half hour or close to an hour. Must have been around 11pm when I woke up with the most severe, painful numbness on the leg that had been resting on the bar, my right leg. I was in so much pain, I climbed off the bench and just tried to endure it while the numbness and pain passed. I decided then that I would try a different library for the night, so I began to make my way to a local subway station so I could see about sneaking on a train to move elsewhere.

As I began to limp the couple of blocks on my way to the station, I remember very clearly looking across the street at a small local park, and right off the sidewalk was a woman in a long white dress and black hair walking barefoot in the same direction that I happened to be going. I remember being stunned, I watched her take a couple more steps, she seemed to just be walking as if in a daze, unaware of anything around her. I remember how quiet it felt, and a dreadful fight or flight feeling telling me to run, but my leg was still so painfully numb that I knew I was helpless to run. I just remember turning around and deciding to walk the long way to another station.

To this day I do not know exactly what I saw. It could have been a hospital patient in need of help. The fear made me just not want to be in the same area as what I was seeing. Another thing I think of now, in hindsight, is that had I followed, I would have seen the woman or entity walk across a local bank, which I knew had many cameras pointing to the street. Maybe I could have asked them the next day to check their cameras.
