This is one I've been sitting on for a very long time. It sounds so bizarre that I haven't bothered to share it with the world at large.
Here goes:
When I was 8 or 9, I had gone to my grandma and grandpa's farm way out in the country to spend a few days with them and one of my cousins.
Yes, it was Halloween night, but I've been over every aspect and can't see how this was a "trick" of some sort.
So my cousin and I are playing "Ghostbusters", running around between the kitchen and the office, pretending to bust ghosts, as it were.
At the point I find myself in the dining room, my cousin is behind me in the kitchen and my grandma and grandpa are in their respective chairs to my left, watching the news.
I look across the living room into a dark(-ish) hallway and see a vertical bar of white light, maybe two or three feet tall, hanging in mid-air. I watched as a large, adult hand extended from the light, palm open and facing away from me, clench into a fist, then retract into the light again.
The hand itself was green, covered with coarse black hairs (very much like someone with German or Hungarian descent) and, apart from the hue, looked entirely normal.
As for the "light bar", it didn't "disappear" in front of me...it just wasn't there any more.
I've worked up a drawing of the farmhouse with relevant points labeled, so I'm going to see about uploading that and linking back to this post....
Some salient points:
-It was evening, perhaps around 8-9 o'clock.
-There were only the four of us there.
-This place is out in the boonies.
-We'd experienced some lesser phenomena here, but nothing this substantial.
EDIT: Let's see if I've got this-here interwebz thingy figured out:
Success!!!
EDIT2: Added "salient points".
