WHEN WE WERE YOUNG, OUR PARENTS TOOK MY BROTHER AND ME
OUT TO MY UNCLE MATT'S HOUSE. IN THE EVENING, WE WENT
TO BED IN MY UNCLE MATT'S BED. ABOVE THE HEADBOARD
WAS A LARGE CRUCIFIX. MY BROTHER WAS SOUND ASLEEP, AND
SUDDENLY, I JUST LET OUT A YELL. EVERYONE CAME RUNNING
TO TH ROOM. I SAID THE CRUCIFIX WAS MOVING ON THE
WALL FROM SIDE TO SIDE. IT WAS MOVING LIKE A PENDULUM.
LIKE SOMEONE WAS SWINGING IT. I SHRUGGED IT OFF AS
'PARENTS KNOW BETTER.' BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I WAS
GIVING THIS EXPLANATION, THE FRONT DOOR OF THE HOUSE
BLEW OPEN. NOW THERE WASN'T EVEN A BREEZE OUTSIDE.
THERE WAS NO WIND VELOCITY.
A FEW HOURS LATER, WE LEFT FOR HOME. WHEN WE ARRIVED
WE FOUND A TELEGRAM SAYING MY GRANDMOTHER HAD PASSED
AWAY AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME THAT THE CRUCIFIX HAD
MOVED AND THE DOOR HAD BLOWN OPEN IN MY UNCLE'S HOUSE.

SLEEPING...AFTER MANY HOURS AT THE HOSPITAL. HE WAS
EXHAUSTED.

HIM. HE HEARD KATE'S VOICE CALLING HIM. HE HEARD HER
VOICE CALLING AND SAYING SHE LOVED HIM AND SAYING
GOODBYE. THEN HE SAW SOME KIND OF IMAGE FLOATING
TOWARD HIM SAYING GOODBYE. THEN IT DISAPPEARED. HE
NOTED THE TIME AND CALLED THE HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY.

I RETURNED HOME FROM A BRIDGE TOURNAMENT AT 3:00 A.M.
TO FIND ALL THE LIGHTS ON AT MY HOUSE. MY WIFE WAS UP
HAVING A CUP OF COFFEE. SHE LOOKED VERY UPSET. SHE
TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD BEEN UNABLE TO SLEEP FOR THE LAST
FEW HOURS BECAUSE OF SOME STRANGE OCCURRANCES.
ABOUT ONE O'CLOCK, SHE WAS AWAKENED WHEN THE BED
SEEMED TO VIBRATE. SHE THEN HEARD A NOISE AT THE BEDROOM
WINDOW AS THOUGH SOMEONE WERE SCRAPING THE SCREEN. SHE
BECAME SO FRIGHTENED THAT SHE TURNED ON ALL THE LIGHTS
AND WAITED FOR MY RETURN. SOOTHING HER NERVES AS BEST
I COULD, I PERSUADED HER TO RETURN TO BED. SHORTLY
WE WERE BOTH ASLEEP.
AT SIX O'CLOCK THE NEXT MORNING WE WERE AWAKENED BY THE
PHONE. MY MOTHER-IN-LAW INFORMED ME THAT MY FATHER-
IN-LAW HAD JUST DIED OF A HEART ATTACK.
THE DECEASED HAD BEEN TO OUR HOME THE PREVIOUS DAY AND
HAD GIVEN MY WIFE SOME CUTTINGS FROM HIS GARDEN. THE
TWIGS WERE PLACED IN A JAR, WHICH MY WIFE LEFT ON THE
WINDOW SILL OUTSIDE OF OUR BEDROOM WINDOW. IN THE
MORNING WE FOUND THE JAR HAD FALLEN AND BROKEN.
MY FATHER-IN-LAW HAD BEEN IN GOOD HEALTH SO MY WIFE
HAD NO INDICATION THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED HER TO WORRY
SO MUCH.

IN OCTOBER OF 1976 I WAS HOSPITALIZED AND HAD TO UNDERGO SURGERY.
I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR TWO WEEKS. WHILE I WAS THERE I KEPT
HAVING A RECURRING DREAM. IN THE DREAM MY MOTHER DIED. THE DREAM
WAS VERY DETAILED I SAW MY MOTHER DIE AND THEN I SAW HER FUNERAL.
BECAUSE OF THE DREAM AND MY SURGERY I WAS VERY UPSET SO MY HUSBAND
SENT ME TO MICHIGAN TO VISIT MY MOTHER. THE NIGHT BEFORE I WAS TO
LEAVE MY MOTHER'S AND RETURN HOME SHE HAD A HEART ATTACK AND DIED.
HER DEATH OCCURED EXACTLY AS IT HAD IN MY DREAM. THE FUNERAL WAS
ALSO AN EXACT ENACTMENT OF MY DREAM EVEN DOWN TO THE CASKET WHICH
MY FATHER PICKED OUT BEFORE I EVER SAW IT. I BELIEVE MY DREAMS
WERE MY MOTHER'S WARNING TO ME ABOUT HER DEATH.
