The witness writes:
In August of 1986 I was sent to our Grande Prairie office to work for three weeks while the usual staff member was on holidays. I stayed in his home during the family's absence. There was also a border away but expected back in the next few days, who was described to me as a young man with blond hair. This was an early "open design house" and you could see from one end to the other, with a half horizontal wall in the kitchen area. On this particular day, around 5pm, I was sitting in the living room area having supper and watching TV. I could feel someone watching me and looked up into the kitchen area, which was about 20 feet away. I saw a young man with blond hair and I recall that he was wearing a jade green golf shirt. As he was standing in front of the stove, I could only see him from the waist up and I remember that he had a blank expression on his face. Thinking that he was the expected border, I said a cheery "Hello there", at which point the young man vanished. Of course I was quite shocked but I didn't feel any fear and didn't see him again. The border did arrive a few days later, followed by the family in two weeks. I felt I couldn't mention what I had seen to the homeowner as I didn't want to frighten the family but I have often wondered who this young man and his history.
I felt that this young man likely had at some point lived in the house, which had been sold to my co-worker a couple of years previously. I think he was just wondering who I was. I didn't feel any threat or sense of him being back during my remaining two weeks in Grande Prairie although I must say that I did leave the lights on overnight from that time on!
