Yes I have many great supernatural stories that
happened to me, even got a couple of them
published in a book (There's No Place like Home
by Christina M Meade) and a few published here on
this great website. I don't know why I seem to
attract weird things but I do so anyway. Here's a
couple of stories from my childhood concerning
the supernatural.
When I was around 10 (1978) a mate and I
decided, just for the hell of it, to break into
our school and maybe hide the cane from our
grumpy old teacher. I went to a Catholic Primary
School here in Australia and it's a pretty old
school, dating back to the mid 1890s and run by
nuns.
Anyway, my friend, who I'll call L and me
got up early that warm autumn Saturday morning,
1978, as I was staying the weekend at his house.
We rode our bikes (well, me on his bloody
sister's bike) to the school, hid our bikes in
the lantana bush and snuck into the school.
To this day I still have weird dreams about
this but L and I were standing outside one of the
rooms, figuring out how to get inside when, out
of nowhere, a nun appeared at the class window.
We didn't recognise her at all but she looked
really cranky then she was gone. L and I looked
at each other with excitement.
"Did you see that?" We both asked each other at
the same time. We confirmed we saw a nun. A very
pissed off nun. But we didn't know who she was so
this intrigued us and somehow we forced our way
into the library that led into two
class rooms. L and I looked around the class
rooms, doing this and that. But one of the class
rooms felt spooky. I still see myself standing in
that class room feeling very nervous because it
felt like as if I just walked into a class room
full of spirits (had the same experience about
ten years later when I worked for a department
store. I think I've told that story somewhere
along the line).
I backed out and told L that we
should go. We did, after we hid the cane (the
teacher never found it for three months LOL) and
wasn't until a few weeks later L and I were going
through some old school photos when we came
across a group photo of some nuns dating back to
the 1930s. We were both giggling at how ugly some
of them looked when L pointed at one of the nuns
and said: 'Oh my God, "Harry", that's her. The
nun we saw.' And it was. She looked cranky in the
photo. Sister Rosemary was her name...I think...
One more experience I want to share.
I must
have been around 8 or 9 when this occurred and
mum was working the tuck shop one weekend,
getting it clean. I got bored and wandered down
to the church. Not to pray but to PRY around.
Hehehe, even sat on the priest's chair. Anyway, I
had to go to the toilet and was sitting there
when, all of a sudden I heard the organ been
played and people singing. I was by myself but I
swear to this day that I heard that Organ and
that ghostly choir singing and it sounded so
real. I remember running for dear life. Even to
this day, I still won't go into a church by
myself (I haven't stepped into a church since I
was 12).
Hey, thanks for reading.
