Adobe Angels: The Ghosts of Albuquerque
by Antonio R. Garcez

As I said before, the ghost was seated between two people, and I could clearly see her from the waist up. The details of her dress and face were also visible, and I was able to study her mannerisms. She had poise and was obviously a woman of refinement. She had long black hair, and was wearing a white dress with long sleeves and no jewelry. The white dress itself was very sheer. Her face was slender and her eyes were a very clear hazel. I venture to say that her age was somewhere in her early 30's. She had a healthy color to her face and was not overly pale as I might imagine a ghost would look. The entire body of this woman was transparent, and aside from this oddity, she appeared to be quite normal and real. Although she appeared to be seated between two of the patrons, she did not use a chair. Seated at the back of the table, she directly faced the mirror and was very curious as she examined each plate of food presented to the patrons. I saw her lean over the dinner plates closest to her and inspect each dish with a critical eye. Apparently she liked what she saw, because she nodded her head with approval. I remember her as very animated, moving her hands and arms regularly. Overall, she was very pleasant and genuinely concerned about how the patrons were being served and cared for. At one point our eyes met and she fixed her gaze on me. I looked away, filled with apprehension. The patrons were thrilled and amazed at what they believed was some form of "extra added entertainment." They even went so far as to accommodate the ghost by passing butter around her and not through her. They were really having a great time with their "entertainment". I, on the other hand, was at a loss for words. Astonished by everything, I forced a smile along with everyone else and kept my anxiety to myself.

For about an hour and a half, the ghost remained seated during the meal. Routinely, I walked out of the dining room area into the kitchen where I stayed for minutes at a time. Each time I returned, she was still at the table. Sneaking glances at the mirror, I could see her carefully, as I brought food to the table and when I removed the plated. When it came time for me to offer dessert, one of the patrons said, "Look". I watched as she slowly disappeared.
