Electrocution
(NOTE: The
following happened at a farm house in Dallas, Texas.)
It all begins when I am eighteen months old (born March
1975). I remember the day so vividly. My grandmother was in the
kitchen cooking breakfast and when she was finished she told me to go and get my
grandfather to come to eat. I went into the bedroom where he was lying on
the bed watching TV and told him that grandma wanted him to come and eat.
Grandpa just grunted, like I remember he would always do when you asked him to
do something he did not want to do right at that moment. So, being the
mean little trouble maker I was I ran into the kitchen and told my grandma that
grandpa was not coming he was just watching TV. She told me to go back in
there and turn the TV off and tell him to get in there now. So I strut
myself back into the bedroom and relay the information to my grandpa who again
just grunted. So I decided to do as my grandmother had told me to and turn
the TV off. I was too short to reach the knobs on the TV so I decided to
unplug the TV. I was not strong enough to do it with just my hands so I
put my mouth on the cord and yanked. This of course was not a smart action
to take; I never said I was the smartest eighteen months old. Anyway, I
was electrocuted at this point.
I remember my body feeling like it was being yanked up
and down. I then remember leaving my body and floating through the house
we lived in at the time. I remember my grandpa jumping off the bed and
yelling and beating on my body. I remember the feeling of peace in a
sense. I floated through each room in the house and then I get to the
front screen door and see the bright light of the sun and as I was putting my
hands out to open the screen door, I remember being yanked back through each
room of the house and then back into my body. (I think this was from my
grandpa banging on my chest)
After that they took me to the hospital and I got plastic
surgery done to my face where I cord was. I came home and slept in the bed with
my grandmother. I remember one night shortly after I got home I was
sleeping in the bed with my grandmother and woke up by people calling my name.
It was a soft whisper like but I could make out my name. I looked up from
the bed and I saw a bunch of people on the wall motioning me to come with them.
It looked like some kind of portal, there was a lot of people inside and some
where not even caring about me. They looked to be going about there own
business. They were all wearing white but you could tell they had
different clothing on. Not everyone was wearing the same thing, like you
see on TV or something. I of course was scared and shook my grandmother
for her to wake up and protect me. She woke up and turned over to where I
was at and when she looked up I remember her having a look of horror on her
face. She grabbed me and pulled me over top her body and in front of her.
She then put her body on top of mine and kept chanting over and over “you can
not have her”. After a few moments the portal and the people went away.
I have other occurrences since then but they are not as
dramatic. Little senses and feeling that I get. My grandmother came
to me in a dream after she had died in 1989. I think she knew that I was
scared of seeing her after she died and she need to tell me one last thing to
calm me which she did.
