A WEIRD VISITOR
First, let me say that I have had a Lot of
psychic/spiritual experiences. The first one was
when I was about 3. I saw a State Capitol building in miniature on the floor! After that,
there wasn't anything remarkable until I was about 9 or 10.
It was the summer, and I was in the back of the
house getting some water for the flowers. This is
not an old house, it was built the year I was
born, 1968, so that means it was only 9 or 10
years old at the time, too. Also, most of the
spirits I come in contact with now are of living,
human origin (yes, us psychics can fly--in the
spirit form--thank you!!!). But at the time, I
did not have the skills required to determine the
origin of this one...
Anyway, I felt someone staring at me. When I
looked up, there was a figure all cloaked in
black! I couldn't see his face.
I asked him what he wanted. I was scared, but
not because it was a spirit. In fact, I didn't
realize he was a spirit! (He looked solid.) But,
I had heard about "perverts", and was afraid that
this guy who had snuck up so silently was one of
them.
He didn't answer my question. I thought maybe
he didn't hear me, so I asked again, louder. No
answer. He just stood there, apparently looking
at me. I can't be sure because I couldn't see the
face under the hood. The bright daylight was
mysteriously kept from it.
I ran in the house, which required bolting right
next to the place he was standing. Only hours
later did I get the guts up to turn off the hose.
I could have gotten my mother to do it, but for
some unexplainable reason I didn't say a thing to
her (maybe I was scared she'd think I was nuts--I
can't remember my reasoning now for the life of
me!).
Years later, I saw a picture of this figure in a
history book chapter detailing old belief
systems. The caption read, "The Grim Reaper"!!
I can't say if it was the real thing or some
other spirit playing a joke on me (nobody died or
anything), but it sure made an impression!
Little that I know that I would experience many
more, much weirder things--things which make this
look like nothing in comparison...It would take a
rather large book to hold them all.

Finally, I Yelled "What do you want?!" He just
kept standing there. Thoroughly exasperated, I
aimed the hose straight at him. There was no
response at all, or any attempts to dodge the
impending blast.
I said, "If you don't answer I'm gonna squirt
you!" I gave him about half a nanosecond to
answer and then I sprayed the Ultra-cold well
water at him at full blast!
He seemed to warp back the distance of one step
without moving his legs or feet (which were
completely hidden by the cloak, but the fabric
would have moved with a normal step). Then he did
it again--but this time his image started
breaking up. Then there was some sort of energy
release and he disappeared!!!!!!!!!!!
But before you think I had an overactive
imagination, I will let you know that the history
book was the First Time I had seen this image!
Before that, I had never known the imagery which
went with the title...
