A Family Trait

I'm really not afraid of ghosts or spirits or UFO's. I find them all fascinating! Mainly because of my family.

First of all I should let you know that our family is sort of a magnet for weird things. My mom's side of the family had a psychic thing going on, and my dad's side are known to have seen some ghosts. Now I guess you can see why our family is a magnet for weird things!

My dad and my older brother do not lie about these sort of things, and I totally believe them. My dad has seen a few ghosts, mainly in the houses that we've lived in (really cool stories!) and my brother has had the same experiences. Recently he saw a little girl in our living room who was dressed in a 1930's dress and she looked at my brother and giggled, then she ran down the hall. He sees ghosts at friends' houses, apartments, barns, almost everywhere. He's seen "bad" ghosts too. He's also seen demons in the house that we currently live in (I don't know much about this because my mom didn't want us younger kids to know about it).

I've experienced things myself. One time I was in our bathroom and the door was locked. While I was washing my hands at the sink, I felt something sort of punch/push my right side near my lower ribs. It was so strange and weird, but it didn't really scare me. I kind of found it fascinating! Also, I have had over 7 dreams that came true, or that have told me things that were going to happen soon.

For example: I had a dream that my friend and I were walking into a room for a funeral and it was really sad, but I woke up before I saw the person in the coffin. When I woke up I somehow just KNEW that someone in my friend's family was going to die. Well, a week later my friend's aunt fell off a balcony while their whole family was on vacation. She died a few days later.

I've just had dreams like that where I knew when I woke up what they meant and what would happen. I wish I had time to tell you more strange things that have happened, but this letter is too long as it is! Thanks for listening!

(Mel, thanks for taking the time to write to ScaryPlace. You mentioned some "really cool stories". We would love to have you interview your Dad and relate those stories to us. I'll post them right here in the Scary Life section. Stay in touch! Scuttles)
