Lately I have been the confessional for people who have had paranormal experiences, or questions. At my birthday spaghetti dinner today, my sister approached me with a tale of the strange and downright creepy.. According to her recent memory of something that occurred just a few days ago, she said she felt the presence of someone in the back seat of her car while she was driving.. the way she dealt with it was my suggestion: Ignore it's there, pretend it's not. Go about your business as though nothing is looking back, although she said that she saw "it" about four times before it finally was gone for good...
People may scoff and laugh at those who have such experiences. The 'black eyed children' is considered a hoax by many--but people who have profoundly amazing background and lives have been involved with saying that they have seen them.. Only a few days ago, the HORROR REPORT wrote a story about the 1 2 3 Lady, the woman who quietly counts while tapping on the window of children..
And now my own sister with a haunted recollection of something that took place within the confines of her own car--a space that should be safe from that type of thing..
Eyes can play tricks on those who inhabit them.. Settings and scenery can cause shadows to appear as something other than what they are, plain shadows. And often, our imaginations run wild without despair or repair, enticing our brains to conjure up some weird facts that perhaps never were real to begin with..
But how could I, or anyone else, truly judge the 'story' someone presents? Unless a medical condition is documented, what should we assume what someone believes whole hardheartedly to be true is false? Sure, science and reason will dictate that most of what we hear is probably not true.. from UFOs with the cattle mutilation to the sounds of the earth groaning across the landscape, we can debunk it all..
But just ponder to yourself, when you're deep in thought or silent in darkness, how much of the 100% you try to call false perhaps is not.. maybe just .01% could be truly unexplained, but that's still something.
And when your family member, who tells the truth and believes what she sees, tells you of an experience, will your downgrade that person and tell her that she did not see what she believes she did?
