I have had a few strange occurances in my life. Ones that I believe have made me more optimistic, and more eager to learn. My first event was the scariest of them all. At the time I was five, laying in my room fast asleep. Then I awoke abrubtly looking around, and there at the end of the bed was something in an all black cape with hood, you couldn't see a face but it seemed to have star looking eyes. I froze for a moment, closed my eyes and then re-opened hoping it would be gone, when I re-opened my eyes it was still there, I got this feeling it was bad, and possibly going to hurt me. I screamed for my mom while sitting straight up in my bed. Closing my eyes again while trying to get my mom in the room. I refused to open them untill she came in the room. That night I said a prayer and made mom sleep with me. I never saw it again. I think I have felt its prescence, but never saw it. I grew up with a religous family, always involved with church and family activities. One of those was sending me to church camp for a week during the summer. Every night we would gather around the campfire and sing songs, and share stories of beliefs. Well we were singing and I was getting this real 'close to god feeling'. So I prayed that he show me a sign that he was really out there and watching over me, and did I have a guardian angel. Well a few moments later as we were all gathered in the middle of this field, I looked up in the trees, and in one of them I saw an image of what looked like Jesus sitting on a branch, I could only see an outline, but I felt it was him. I just stared at it, and it appeared to wave at me. I started crying, feeling a love stronger than ever. But then towards the evening I started to convince myself it was just a shadow and that I was just wanting to see it. Well then as we were all leaving the fireside I looked up again, low and behold! , there was my falling star. I just smiled the rest of the night. Now this event is solely my big sisters. One evening my cousin was staying over at our house. Her and my sister would spend the evening talking about boys of course. Well my sister had a big bed and our cousin slept in it with her. I guess in the middle of the night one of them, not quite sure who, but one of them reached over and started strangling the other and in a devilish voice was saying 'I am going to kill you' shaking the other in strangular motion. The other began praying and saying I love you over and over to the other, then suddenly they stopped, and fell right back to sleep. Not remembering what she had done to the other the previous night. Another strange occurance that happened to me. Well my grandmother had a stroke and was in the hospital for awhile. The hospital was in another town and I didn't have a vehicle at the time so I needed to wait untill I was able to find somone to take me in to see her. I loved her dearly, and even though she was a strict parent and grandparent you felt her love and respected her. I guess while she was in the hospital she managed to come awake long enough to make her wishes be known that she didn't want to be kept alive by artificial means. So my family abided by that. She slipped into a deep comma. A few days had gone by. She had nothing attached to her, no food or any drink given to her. Everyone in my large family had been in the hospital saying there goodbyes, but me. Finally my father said he would come and get me so I could say goodbye to her. When I got there and saw her lying there, her breathing patterns where wrong, her lips were dry from not receiving any flui! ds. Her legs where turning different colors because there was no circulaiton. I complained to the other family members, saying that she was suffering, I didn't care what her request was I just knew she couldn't be comfortable. They just reasured me that God was going to take her and make her very comfortable. Still unsatisfied and wanting to hook the machines up myself, I went to her bedside, talked quietly to her and rubbed her legs trying to make her comfortable. I was really struggling with seeing her like that. That evening I was taken home, I tossed and turned trying to fall asleep. But when I did, it was deep. I had this dream that my grandmother was standing in this area with black all around her, but she was bright as day. SHe said to me, 'goodbye and it's ok, I love you, and everything is going to be ok.' then it went away. I felt like she had just given me a hug. I shook the dream off the next morning. Then my dad came over that afternoon, he said that gr! andma was gone. The doctors were amazed that she had lived so long without any assistance. Like I said before, everyone had been able to say her goodbyes, and grandma just seemed to be holding on for some reason or another. I got to say goodbye to her, the last one. She died as I was going home from the hospital, and I didn't know that till the next day. I still feel the prescence of my grandparents, especially my grandpa. It's a great feeling to know that you will be reunited with them. That there is a place where everyone will gather in peace. How it changed my life:It has made me more optimistic when thing occur. I also see more of the good in things, and I always feel like I can see farther than the outside of a person.
