What I am about to tell you really happened.
It happened in the late 1890's to my
Great Grandma.
My Grand mom use to tell me the
story and I did see pictures of my
Great Grandma.
My Great Grandma and her family moved into a
farmhouse in the Eastern Cape. They decided to
have family over for dinner. Those days the
daughters in the families had to set the table
and help to dish up. My Great Grandma went to
the dining room and started to set the places
for people to eat. She heard a weird noise
behind her and thought it was one of her
brothers trying to scare her. She heard the
noise again and turned around but did not
see anything. She then felt this weird
sensation that someone was watching her. She
turned around and was slapped across her face.
She fell forward causing the plates to fall off
the table. My Great Grandma's parents and
family came running in to see what was wrong and
found her unconscious on the floor. They
picked her up and carried her to her room. It
was only when her mom started to pat her face
with a wet cloth that she saw the red mark of a
hand across her forehead. She called my
Great Grandma's father and they were stunned by
this hand mark. They asked her brothers if they knew
anything about this and they all said no. When
she regained consciousness she told her parents that
she saw and old lady with an angry face looking
at her. The rest she cannot remember. They
then asked the previous owners if they knew
anything and they told them that there once
lived a family with three daughters and the
Grand mom lived with them. The daughters use to
tease their Grand mom a lot and she did not like
it at all. She then promised to come back for
them when she died.
Unfortunately it was my
Great Grandma and not her own grandchildren she
slapped.
My Great Gran had a bald spot on her
head where the "ghost" had hit her.
Her hair
never grew there. The red hand
mark was still visible but not that much.
