asked me

times or

making some

told him
>that he
>could go down the flight of stairs next to Mac to
basement.

>He appeared lost and asked me again if it was on left hand
side
>or right handside. I was little irritated as we were facing
the

left!
>Luckily my husband arrived at that time. The taxi behind him
sounded the
>horn, so
>I hurriedly pointed again to the stairway and asked him to go
down.
>Later I was suddenly awaken with an uneasy feeling. Realized
that he might
>be a hypnotiser.
>As I remembered that he was loitering near me for some time,
but I just
>took it that he was another
>passerby at that moment. He spoke in a deliberate and slower
manner, his
>hand gestures
>when mentioning chicken rice; duck rice, etc and his deliberate
attempt in
>asking me if left or right.
>These people try to get us to conjure up images in our mind,
that's how

not
