Young, single, working full time, of legal age. Friends all over.
Headed to the city to spend time with a friend down there. Middle of the week, my day off he worked from 6 am to 2:30 pm at the Merc. We bar hopped and had our usual good time, Not a real late night, just a good relaxing time.
I spent the night at the apartment. Couch was an actual daybed (amazing in itself as this was two guys living in this apartment. As they had to leave through the front door which was in the same room I was in I heard them leave, I was in that fabulous stage where you are still sleeping but yet somehow can see the room clearly and hear all that is around you, Time slips in and out.
I don't know how long after I heard them leave that I felt the weight of someone sitting on the bed next to me, leaning up against my arm, Then came the soft kiss to my brow, My mind was racing furiously. Did one of them return and I did not hear it, My relationship with Jack was never that and I had just met his roommate. I struggled to open my eyes, It seemed forever but actually was only a few seconds. When my eyes opened no one was there, and slowly the feeling of the weight left me.
Instinctively I knew that is was a spirit, it did not alarm me but intriged me. Once I analyzed it I realized that it could have been female. more of a loving motherly type touch and kiss.
I left a note for Jack admonishing him for not telling me about their ghost and left for home.
Hours later I get a call from Jack all freaked out, He had just gotten home and read my note, His roommate and he had never spoken of the different experiences they had had in the apartment both thinking they were some what crazy. My note forced them to discuss it. Seems the ghost was not quite truly happy with their house keeping and often they would find towels left on the floor in their rush to leave hanging up to dry as well a a million other things. Noises they could not explain, smells that lingered.
I often visited that apartment on Magnolia. Was a house converted to two apartments in the Lincoln Park area of Chicago. Never did feel anything there again and after a while they guys did not notice things either. They picked up after them selves better and her job was done
