Do I know you? You look familiar.

author_by_nightI keep forgetting to post what happened last Sunday.
It was really weird... I was in Philadelphia, just on a day trip with my parents. Well, at one point, I saw a girl, probably around my age, with black curly hair, really short, and pale skin.
I couldn't help it: I could've sworn I knew her.
This has happened before - I see people, and I could swear I know them from somewhere, and I can't remember where.
She looked at me, and her face seemed to show she was thinking the same thing.
I know you.
I'd say maybe she was someone from my area, but how likely is it that, given that we're about an hour and a half away from Philly?
I wish I'd said something, but I sort of just walked away with my parents and Michelle (my cousin).
This has happened before. Last summer, I was in Conneticut, and saw a middle aged (ish) woman. I was so startled... I wanted to ask if I knew her, but again, I was with my parents, and besides... you have to be careful in doing those things. Not to mention the fact that we were rushing, and I didn't really absorb what'd just happened until we'd passed her.
What really puzzles me is that the girl reacted right back. She looked at me as if we were long lost friends.
I know I know her. And it still bugs me, nearly a week later.
I think I'm also posting it in case it was one of you or something. I don't know how many of you I've exchanged pictures with.
Of course, maybe it's past life regression or something. (Yes, I believe in reincarnation). Or maybe we just both remind one another of other people.
Or... who knows?
Anyone else ever had one of those moments?

But there's this picture I saw in a literature book in high school and I thought: I know you. I've seen those eyes before. I couldn't shake it.
