Experience description:

I was sitting in a quiet living room reading a book when this young man walked into the room.  He was transparent, but I saw him in color from head to toe.  He vanished after 4-5 steps into the room.  I said `hello` to him and there was no response from him. I have not seen him since.  I believe he is a young man who died from an accidental gunshot wound while rabbit hunting with friends.  This accident happened at least 30 years ago.  Maybe 40-50 years ago.
