FOUR FUNERALS & ONLY ONE WEDDING!

Image
MY EARLY YEARS -- 1960-1980 Four Funerals & Only One Wedding! As an Angel in the Elysian Fields, dealing with souls of the dead was pretty much routine. Thankfully, I'd never dealt with actual dead bodies… I may have the diligence to deal with the spirits of the dearly departed (and you'll see my encounters here). However, it was a stressful time as a Human as after all, I was barely 6 years old! Here we go… Sadness galore and one wee ray of sunshine, sort of (giggles). If you look back at your childhood, you expect fun, sunny days, getting up to mischief with your friends at school. Seven short years that bring back sweet memories, minus the troubles with education but that's for later hahaha... If only Real Life was always like this... Seven years which began in 1966. First year of actual learning where you're only concerned with a curiosity of discoveries: reading, writing and arithmetic.. Don't get me wrong, to this day, I enjoy learning somethin

THE POLTERGEISTS AND CEMETERY GHOSTS EXPERIENCE!

PLEASE note that this story is based on true events, names and places have been changed to protect the people involved. Thanks and enjoy this spooky read... THIS took place after the house fire in the worst winter month... February 1962... WE knew we'd have to find lodgings as soon as possible. Temporarily staying at maternal grandparents caused a few unwelcomed frictions. THE local Firehouse called us a fortnight later. They had good news. They'd found us a top floor flat with the advantage of two balconies. One at the front accessible by the living room. The other reached by the kitchen and situated at the back of the property. HOWEVER , we were two streets up from the biggest cemetery for our city "Ash River Graveyard" established during the Victorian era and containing over 50,000 souls. ALTHOUGH some of us were apprehensive of this proximity, it was a choice better than the tension-filled house currently available. Personally I'd missed the nightly chats

THE SOUL'S ENCOUNTER!

YOU know I love the Paranormal, I always did. From the Summer of 69, I discovered so many answers. It was eye-opening! Below, is a story based on a true situation. Names, places have been changed to the protect the privacy of all involved. IF YOU enjoy stories of life-after-death and a belief in Souls being an eternal piece inside all of us, then just read... THE SOUL'S ENCOUNTER! JULY  arrived in a blaze of heat. Unrelentless high temperatures. Overall the month had an average of 27°C (81°F). The amount of wild fires and the ones as a result of fireworks falling on dried grass... SADLY and unexpectedly, 5 July saw the end of Gramps' life (See the story; 4 Funerals and 1 Wedding; coming soon). From the Monday, 7 July, he rested at the Funeral parlour for 3 long days. INSIDE it was freezing, the AC being on to keep the bodies cold. Turned up much higher due to the constant stream of mourners. All three days were very busy, Gramps had family, friends and loads of acquaintances

MY PARANORMAL/HORROR ESSAY STORY

SACRED LANDS... A PLACE NOT TO MESS WITH... HEED THE WARNINGS! BACK in the late 70s, a not so brilliant idea came from the sister and brother-in-law of our intrepid girl... The brother-in-law had received a prestigious promotion within his computer business. Such as it was, it came with an incredible new pay packet; a brand new car and a fully paid mortgage for a house of their own choosing. WANTING to help out his mother-in-law, he came up with the idea that he would equip the basement with a fully functional kitchen, laundry room for all, storage, bathroom, plus living and eating areas. Two bedrooms upstairs for the Mum and the wee girl. Ready to move in within a month... A disaster waiting to happen, our wee girl knew from the word: GO! She wasn't to be proven wrong in oh so many ways... IT WAS a bad idea to begin with as the married daughter did not fair well being with her mother on a daily basis -- after all, she had married the first guy that wanted her as a wife two month
