July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
- I've heard it said that truth is stranger than fiction, but is it? Finish the story - It started out as any typical day but then... UNBELIEVABLE? It started out as any typical day but then, as the sun rose in the sky, the humidity rose with the light rays that were moving across the young forests, that make up some of the land around us. I often rise at 5 a.m. to accomplish morning chores by noon. Then, I can have the afternoon to read, blog or play kindle games. During the summer of 2018 we had a lot of days of heavy humidity and storms flailing thunder and lightning at us. This day was like many others. As the day wore on the humidity built and the skies darkened. I watched Weather Bug on my phone for updates on the weather. In late afternoon, we were watching some program or another on TV. I walked around the house pulling plugs on any electrical gizmo not necessary to life or ones like the microwave that don't have a surge protector. At this point the sky was so black in the North West that I wondered how small towns and cities in the storms path were fairing. We kept watching what ever program was on at the time. I turned off the TV as the wind increased. It started raining in a heavy curtain, then a large crack that vibrated the house. A human figure surged through our living room window leaving the glass intact. It was a figure of a young male with dark hair. He was running so fast it was difficult to acknowledge feet on him. He flew straight through the room, through the hall, into the kitchen. I leaned forward, half standing to see where he went. When the figure hit the kitchen there was a load crack and a flash of lightning, the figure disappeared. I remember thinking how some stupid young boy was spirit walking (Some American Indians call them skin walkers) in an electrical storm. It took only seconds for this occurrence to evolve. I admit there was an electrical charge in the air as the storm passed over us. Could I have been hallucinating because of the high energy in the air. If I was, no harm was done to the windows or kitchen. However, There is a burn mark on the beam in the living room where the figure hit his head and a tennis shoe print burned into the finish of the hard wood floors in the living room, where one toe touched the floor. After the storm passed the high humidity was gone. Looking out the living room window I could see the wonderful Tulip tree in the back yard had been hit. I had hopes for it to recover, but so far it has not. All of the lower branches are dead and it did not have leaves on any part of the tree last summer. It was a beautiful tree one of my favorites. There is a rosary society in the area and when they pray electrical weather can be expected. It isn't unusual for prayer to affect weather, electricity in the air, and other natural events. I'm elderly so some people would like to chalk this up to hallucination, but I read a lot of Quantum Physics which allows for a different kind of world than we often admit too. THE END |
