Once again I am using a friends computer. Seeing as my computer won't bring up my blog, I feel like I should using this time to write something profound, and damn, I can't come up with one profound thought.. So, here are a few not so profound thoughts.
1) I don't think that I have I have personally ever seen a ghost. However, I do believe that their are those who can and do. I think I lack the special something others have that allow them to have this experience.
2) I believe that there are times, special times, that I can communicate with animals and certain people that others (professionals) have told me is not possible. I want to tell you about a time when I talked to German Shepherd, a specially trained guard dog. I was working in sales at the time. I was given an address to do a demonstration for water conditioning equipment, I had talked to the home owner, who gave me the directions, you have to remember that I am directionally challenged. Anyway when I talked to the home owner and got directions he told me that there were 2 dogs on the property, but that was o.k. and not to worry about it. When I turned into a long drivewy, way out in the middle of nowhere, I noticed a sign saying "Guard Dog On Duty...Beware" I continued up the driveway and the signs got larger and more ominous. I continued and finally saw the house. There were motorcycles parked there. I got out of my car and walked to side door. The house appeared to be empty but I knocked on the door. No one answered, I picked my display case and turned to walk away. I never seen or heard the dog, but I felt something take hold of the sleeve of my jacket. It was a very large King Shepherd. I was very , I want to say frightened but alarmed is an more accurate word. The dog didn't appear visious, it also gave no indiction of letting go of my sleeve. I began to talk to the dog. Finally I sat down on the grass, the dog still holding on to my sleeve, I talked to her about 15 minutes. I explained to her that I had gotten lost, and I was on her property by mistake. Eventually she let go of my sleeve and she sat with me. I told her I had to go back to my car, I had to leave now. I stood up and so did she. I bent down to pick up my case, she grabbed my sleeve again. I knew at that moment that she was willing to let me leave, but she didn't want me to take my case. So, I sat down again, so did she. I explained to her, like she was a human, that I had to take my case with me. This took another 5minutes of talking. I told her I was going now and I had to take my case with me. I stood again and picked my case. She stayed sitting. I picked up case and started walking to my car with my case in my hand. She walked beside me all the way to my car. I continued talking to her, explaining every move I was making, like "I am going to open the car door now and put my case inside," then I told her " I am getting inside the car now and driving off your property". When I was inside the car I had to turn it around to drive out. She stood where I left her. I opened the car window and said "goodbye girl". As I drove back down the long driveway I paid closer attention to the signs. They said "Guard Dog On Duty" "Enter At Your Own Risk". And other warnings.
I have never told anyone this story, mostly because I felt no one would ever believe me, I also felt embarrassed for getting lost. Looking back it now, so many years later, I feel it was a wonderfull, probably unbelievable experience. I am not sure I would believe it if someone told me this story. But it is true. it happened to me. I did not sit down to write this story, it just flowed out of me for some reason. It happened almost 25 years ago. I am glad that it did and that I finally was able to share it with you.
