I Saw Dead People?!!!

I think that foongpc would be interested in this entry (Supernatural stuff excites him!), so let me dedicate this to him as well as to my grandparents! Sorry for no photos or pictures!

 

I faintly remembered spending time with my grandfather when I was young. I am quite sure about that. I knew that I was pretty young, at the age of 3 or 4. And I could already walk or maybe mummer a few words. I remember asking for my grandfather and I remember my older cousin cheating me to keep all my messy toys because my grandfather was coming.

 

I was quite sure about that until one day when I went to pray at my grandfather tomb, it was written that my grandfather died 4 months after my birth! That means that it was impossible that I could even play with him! To make it worse, I was born in a city called Miri, whereas my grandparents were living with my uncle’s in Kuching. My parents only moved back to Kuching when I was around 3 years old; and we were so poor that we need to live together with my uncle. So, who I was spending my time with that time? He looked like the person in the photo labeled as my grandfather and I really could remember he was wearing a white singlet. It must be him!

 

On a separate case, about 10 years ago, when my grandmother passed away, we organized the praying ceremony at the place she stayed which was my uncle’s house. My grandmother’s body was placed inside an open casket to let everyone have a last look. As you know, children not knowing what was death were playing around the house, screaming and laughing. There was a person (I could not remember who) went to the children trying to explain or teaching them what was death. That person asked “Do you know where is your grandmother now?”  One of the children pointed at an empty bed inside the room where my grandmother used to stay and said that she was sleeping over there. No one dared to challenge that kid’s words but I was glad that grandmother’s spirit was still around us at that time.

There was a belief that children were able to see spirits or ghosts and this led to a study or research being conducted. It was quite an interesting piece of research or study! I believe that children has this ability because of my experience, do you?
