i thought all breathing things were souls, so, when animals die, why are there not animal spirits all over the place? hmm I always wondered about spirits myself.
i have had some experiences with a ghostly like woman when i was a 4 yr old , yes a 4 yr old. she walked through the wall when i was in my bed.
she came across the room and got into bed with me. i rolled over and closed my eyes in fear.
well, this happened a few times.
i still recall the exact layout of that room, and im 52.
and the fact that this spirit was a woman with long hair makes me wonder why a 4 yr old was 'dreaming' something so real.
as a child in this particular apartment i also recal getting up walking of the top of the stairs and jumping into the air and floating down. many times.
now why would a child age 4 in 1965 when tv was rarely watched, and in black and white have such dreams? i lived a boring quiet life.
while in this same apt, my mother says that many mornings after my father left for work, she felt someone hold her down in bed and she couldnt get up.
she attributes all of this to the fact that she was 'studying the bible' with my aunt who just brought the jw faith back with her from california. we moved out of that aprtment and did not have any experienced like that UNTIL one day my school freind who I found out liked to play the oija board games and read spiritistic books,[ at age 13], gave me a bag of clothing. one night that week, i heard voices on the other side of the door. it was 2 am so it wasnt the tv. i told my mom about the voices and she told me that it was probably demons that came form my friends house.
she made me give the clothes back and i never heard them again. and thats back then, but wait,
last year i was working in a store in my area, an old store. i was bent over stocking shelves when i heard someone walk past me and saw a brief figure out of the corner of my eye, go into the back room, knowing it was only me and my manager, i stood up and looked back expecting to see her, when i did not I yelled for her, and she was in the front of the store, i said, 'who walked into the stock room? she said 'no one , why?' i told her what i heard , and she came walking back with a grin on her face and said ' you saw him, the ghost who lives here'.
now mind you, im not a kind of person who believes in such things nor am i afraid of the dark, or things that go bump in the night. so i dont look for these things to happen. they do out of the blue.
coincidence, ,maybe, but it was very odd huh?
