story Hello,
I can't remember a time when odd things have not happened to me. Now you may say "oh right" but it really is true.
I am a 47 year old woman and was born and raised in San Antonio TX this has to be around 1954 0r 55 when I was very young (like around 4 or 5...this is the earliest I can remember any type of paranormal experience) I can remember my mothers dog dying. No big deal you say...well we were sitting in her bedroom watching TV and I saw the dog walk up to the door. If I remember right the vet had said she would recover from her illness and turn out hunky dory. I turned to my mom and said " Beverly is dead".
My mom just laughed and asked me where in the world did I get such a notion. She was a very black spaniel crossbreed but when I saw her appear that night you could see the back of the hall behind her. It was as if she was a figuer that was not fully formed but like a shadow. Odd but true. Many, many times the radios and TV would turn on by themselves when I was babysitting my brother and sister after all had gone to bed. In the house I grew up in, we had what you would call "cold spots". The main hallway to our bedrooms were famous for these. But I think one of the most amazing thing that ever happened was when my husband and had moved fromTexas to Colorado. One night while sleeping I felt something almost like a punch on my foot. Like someone hitting it rather hard. Now our bed faced a door that led out to a patio and there was a large window right off to the right of the patio door. I woke up with a start and saw (what I thought was my husband looking out the window) a black male silouette looking figure standing profile to me. I do remember asking "What are you doing?" the next thing I know he turns over in bed next to me and when I look back at the figure its gone. I got up (quaking in my stocking feet) and all doors and windows were locked! So you tell me. One other time and this was the worst...my family had come to visit and do some skiing over the holidays while we still lived in Colorado.(1990) My older sister became very ill and when she went home she died 10 days later of heart problems.No one knew that she had any type of cardiovascular problem. My son who loved her dearly came to me about 2 or 3 days after her funeral and told me about a very strange and what he thought realistic dream. But was it really? We lived in a 2 story house at the time and there were stair leading up to the bedrooms above. He said he swore he woke up and saw a very bright white light coming from downstairs from the family room. He remembers walking down these stairs and seeing my sister sitting in the "lazyboy" as if nothing had ever happened. My son said he did not say a word but that my sister spoke and said "Not to worry I'm alright now" . Again you tell me? There have been many times when I KNOW what is going to happen on any given day. All I have to do is quiet myself and get rid of the chatter in my mind. Then I can allow pure feeling to come through and how I experience the emotion will tell me if something out of the ordinary is going to happen. Strange Stuff. And I am almost always right. I've had more but don't want ot bore you or have you think I'm off the edge. There really is more to this existance than anyone of us ever thought we just have to be open to it. Well do what you think is best with this but thanks for allowing me to quote unquote spill some of the beans.
