A family observes a man standing in a barbershop who looks exactly like their late grandfather. They find out later that the grandfather frequented that same barbershop.
I received the following account:
"In 2017, I wrote to you about my grandfather who passed away after making his "The Bus Is Full" comment. Well, I didn't mention something else strange that took place within the year after his passing (sometime in 1986).
My family was visiting my grandmother (his widow) who still lived in the same house that she and my grandfather had always lived in. I remember we left to drive home just after nightfall, and to get home we had to drive through a busy "main street" through the center of town. So we're driving along and stopping frequently as a result of the numerous traffic lights on the route. As our car was stopped at one, I heard my mother say to my father, "Oh my goodness, he looks just like your father! In the window over there!" She pointed to the window of a barbershop on the other side of the street. My father, my brother, and I craned our necks to look in the barbershop. Even though it was on the other side of the street, it wasn't more than 20 feet away, and the contrast of the dark night to the bright lights within gave us a very vivid look at everything inside.
Inside, standing at the window looking out, was a man who was a dead ringer for my grandfather. He was the same height, had identical facial features, the same hair, and the same thick-rimmed glasses that he always wore. However, what jumped out the most was the jacket he was wearing. It didn't look like just any jacket, but the EXACT one that my grandfather loved to wear: a light tan suede-like one with woolen, sheep-like trim along both sides of the zipper and along the collar.
He was just standing at the large window (which basically took up the entire front wall) staring straight out into the street. "Wow, it does," my father said, but if he was any more amazed than that I'm not sure because he never brought it up again, at least in my presence. After a couple of seconds, the light turned green and our car propelled forward - the man in the window still looking straight ahead.
To make it more interesting, the next time I saw my grandmother I told her that we had seen someone in the window of the barbershop on that street who looked just like Grandpa. Since she hadn't witnessed it she couldn't make a big deal about it, but she did say that was the barbershop he had always gone to for a haircut. Now I'm not sure who the man in the window was, but it's still something I think about to this day, over 30 years later." K
