Stange happenings one summer

Image Credit: sxc.hu I have had so many unexplained things happen to me during my lifetime. Some are religious and some are not. This happened to me while I was visiting my relatives in the south during summer vacation. My mother, sister and I would travel there by train during the summer vacation. My father and older brothers were back home in the city.

I am in my sixties now but I have never forgotten this incident. This happened when I was between the ages of 8 and 10. I know I was still in elementary school. Now I am going to tell you about three sighting, but I can't remember if they all happened the same summer, because it was so long ago. I do know I was in elementary school during these events.

One morning my mother, aunt, sister and I were walking down the road from my aunt's house to her country store that sat at the crossroads. For some reasons we stopped walking and were standing across the road from the store. My mother and aunt were talking. We suddenly noticed a bird perched on a phone line staring at us. My aunt noticed that the bird would not move for many minutes. We all started looking at the bird who looked back at us. My aunt commented that maybe Russia sent something to spy on us. This bird watched us for at least a half hour. We couldn't move because we were confused at its behavior. It watched us with such intensity that I have never seen since. It finally (and reluctantly) flew away leaving us wondering about the situation. The second event was when I was at my uncle's house. My aunt baked biscuits every day. We would eat them as snacks with syrup. This particular afternoon I took a biscuit and went outside to feed the pet dogs. I loved to watch them swallow the pieces whole. I broke off pieces of the biscuit and threw it at them. Suddenly a white puppy bounded up out of nowhere. He looked to be about six months old. I have never seen him before or since. No one in the area owned a white puppy. I thought he was so cute and threw pieces of the biscuit at him, and he ate it. As I was busy with the other dogs, he was gone. I never saw him leave. Later that day, I asked one of my cousins about him, but she said there was no white puppy in the area.

The third and most frightening event happened one night. My uncle's house had a back porch that held a sink, washing machine and some slop buckets which held garbage for the hogs. It was dark out there at night because there was no electric light. The only light came from the moon and from inside the house. The sink was the only running water in the house besides the kitchen. My sister, cousins and I were on the porch brushing our teeth. When we were about to leave to go back into the other part of the house, I looked up at the screened-in porch and saw a round light staring at me. It was about the size of a baseball. When I noticed it, it disappeared. I kept looking for it when it appeared again in about the same area. It was as though it wanted to watch me, but didn't want me to see it. This happened three times. I felt is was getting agitated with me. Don't ask me how, I just felt it. T then realized that everyone had left the porch, and I was standing there in the dark by myself. I became afraid and ran back into the other part of the house where everyone else was. I couldn't understand what I saw and I became quiet. I couldn't even tell anyone about it as though I was prevented not to. I never told anyone about this until about a year ago (2014) when I told my adult son.

I know I wasn't abducted because there was no lapse in time. I was told that the seventh child can see things. I don't know how true this is, but some strange things have and still happen to me. I must say most of them have been good.

About two months ago, I had to go to the bathroom and awoke up out of my sleep. As I did, I saw a light in my ceiling. Just as I noticed it, it went out. It was like it went up into the ceiling. Beyond the ceiling is a flat roof. I sleep alone on the first level. The rest of my family sleep upstairs. Being a single woman (divorced), I like to put a pillow to my back to sleep better. The pillow feels like another person. Since I have seen this light in my ceiling, I can't turn my back from that direction. I know it won't harm me because it could have if it wanted to. It is still a little eerie. I like to think of it as a good light watching over me.
