What's the most haunting thing you've ever seen?

I rarely drive past the campus now that I'm retired from it, maybe once every 2 or 3 years...drive by and shocked at how rapidly it's changing, whole apartment complexes razed and new buildings put up for example...every time I drive down some of the streets I see several things that's changed. The most haunting was a row of apartment buildings next to where I used to live, didn't even know they were tearing them down...and a lot of memories of my daughter playing in the little park next to it. They are building much more expensive apartments and making huge profits for them, also driving up the price of rent here in this city because of demand to get off campus.
Many things.

The mountains of Vancouver. How the trees stretch as far as your eyes can see. Ribbons of green.

A man with flesh-eating disease. This horrible grey matter consuming his legs and his life. How it felt on my hands in protective gloves. *shudders*

How my only son felt when I first held him in my arms after he was born, unbreathing and dead white in colour. How they whisked him away to the NICU. How at loss I felt...

The look in his eyes when he left expecting to return one day. I knew I would never let him return. It wasn't good for both of us, let alone each of us.

The flow of soccer when I play with the co-ed teams. How swift. How breathless. How motion-filled. I love it so much. The way my clothes fit in the game. How it feels to guzzle water, rest, and to return. How a goal feels. Soccer. :)

How it feels to save lives in my career. Some haunt me still. Ones that went on to live. How awesome a breath is...How one should never take life for granted. Never. Live each moment. And appreciate life always.

I had this memory last night.. looking across a classroom at a class mate holding her hand to her head where her head was hurting on more than one occasion... she died a week later from Meningitis...

Watching The Woman in Black at the Fortune Theatre, London, when the Woman emerged from the middle of the audience and walked up onto the stage. A most chilling play.

My friend ran over a puppy once. The sight was gruesome and still haunts me to this day.

Witnessing the overdoses of a few of my friends.

A vagina. In real life. I should've burned my eyeballs then...
