Thirty Two.
Ok, so, I don't really know what's going on.
Since Chere died, I...see things that aren't there. I hear things that aren't there. It can be very disturbing at times. I thought it was just me. Just my crazy.
Until I saw that my cats were seeing the shadows that were flitting about my apartment too. This rattled me more than i can say. Is what I see real?
I got a new job after my sister's death, and I told a co-worker about my problem. She told me that due to the shock and trauma of losing my sister, the veil that stands between the humans and the Spirit World sorta, tore a little, and now stuff bleeds through. (For those that don't know, Christians believe that two worlds, if you will, exist on earth. That humans and Spirits (being angels, demons and so on) exist side by side, except humans can't see them. There is a veil between us. The ideal is also that animals don't have the veil. They can see the spirits. You know when you see your dog trot over to a random spot and sniff? Yeah.)
I never put a lot of stock in that theory. I mean, I'm a Christian, but I try not to get into the mechanics of it. I believe in God. And for personal reasons. I don't care about Spirit Worlds or speaking in tongues. I like keeping my faith simple. I have a walk with God. but now....?
I have a friend who works in a hospice, and she is also a Christian. She has seen many, many things she can't explain. Her idea, is she works in an area of mass death. People come to her, to die, essentially. That being said, of the Christian idea, there is a lot of angels and demons alike in one spot, ready for the souls that depart. That can create a lot of strange things. One, is the one that has bothered me the most, and I'll explain why later. The Black Man In Black. Her husband was walking into her work one day, and saw a black man, older, kinda pudgy. Jowly face, almost like an old bulldog. He was in black. black shirt, jacket and hat. He (husband) was walking in, and saw the man standing in a patient's window, looking out at him. The Black Man In Black waved to her husband. He smiled and waved back. When he saw his wife, he asked who the man in room 11 was, and told her what he saw. She was confused, and ran to the patient's room. No one was there. And as she sits at the entrance and exit for that hall, no one had come or gone. They summed it up to weird, and left it at that. Few nights later, she sat, it was very late, watching the security cameras in the halls, reading and sorta taking it easy. Until someone passed by a camera. A black man in black. She started, staring at him on the screen. He turned to the camera, smiled, tipped his hat and walked into a wall, disappearing. Later the patient in the room he walked into would die within hours.
So creepy right? And okay, maybe she was messing with me. Y'know, late night ghost stories and stuff.
Except. Yesterday at work, my store was literally a buzz with Spirits and their chatter. They were everywhere. As I walked into the back room, I randomly poked my head into the service hallway that leads to the back door.
And there, stood the Black Man In Black.
Guys, I'm a little freaked. So far everything I have dismissed is showing up real. Or maybe I am that insane. I don't know what's happening to me.
