Curious about the paranormal?I am.
It’s no big secret, all things of the supernatural fascinate me. After all, it’s why I write in this genre. But what most people don't know is the little incidents from my past that have shaped my interest in this.
As a little girl, my grandfather lived on
sugarcane plantation and I loved going there. I still remember the first time I saw this huge ball of
orange rolling across the tops of the sugarcane. I was seven, I stood there
fascinated. My grandfather said it was the ‘fire devil’. Maybe he was teasing,
but I never forgot that sight. An orange flame, rolling so fast over the
sugarcane crops. Curious, I asked him to tell us more and my fascination grew.
Our best was ghost stories.
But other little things started happening, as I
grew older.
No, of course I didn't see ghosts, angels, or anything of the sort,
but I dream them—agh, not the ghost, I'd be hiding under the bed then. But about events,
little things and they would occur a few days later. It always left me with a
sense of deja vu, afterwards. But so far it’s on a smaller scales and usually
relates to myself, or those close to me...
Now my sister on the other hand has angels and
ghosts appearing, while she's asleep. Yes, seriously! But she brushes it off as
normal. And she lives alone. Brave girl.
Several years ago, my cousin’s husband suffered a massive heart
attack during the night, he was rushed to hospital. The families didn't know
about this awful happening. My sister who lives
across the country, was asleep, jerked awake in alarm, and was startled to find a figure
hovering in her bedroom doorway. She said a sudden
chill filled the room. Instantly she knew something had happened, and asked him what was wrong. And like a whisper in her
mind, he answered, 'Help her, she needs you.'
She tried to keep him talking, but he said he could not stay. Immediately, my sister called my cousin, who burst
into tears and told her what happened and that her husband had just passed
away. He left behind a gorgeous little girl.
A lot more of these happenings occurred over the years.
One evening recently, my sister said she'd been
restless, and for some reason kept checking the windows and doors were locked.
Above the door to her apartment, she hung a rosary, which was given to her when
she moved into the place.
Uneasy, she fell asleep, only to awaken sometimes in the early parts of the morning, someone was shaking her. She felt as if she was swimming out from a current that wanted to suck her back in. Until a voice, which sounded so melodious that she couldn't help but listen, told her had to come back. It wasn't time for her. Like a drowning person, she gasped for air to find the coppery taste of blood in her mouth. She'd bitten her tongue in her sleep. The vision sat on the bed beside her, had its hand on her legs and warmth surrounded her. Dressed all in white, she couldn't see its face. Then it rose, extremely thin and tall. It didn't walk, but glided to her closet and disappeared through it.
Strangest thing was, one she could never understand, if it was an angel, then why did it avoid the door where the rosary hung?

An alien, it wouldn’t care, right?
I guess, it’s a question that will remain forever unanswered.
So, my fellow peeps come join me, if you have a paranormal happening in your life, I would love to hear it.
Have a super day!
