This story is what I now know as a "precognition." Our family: me,
mom, and dad just purchased Nintendo with the super Mario's Brothers
game, which my mother stayed up till the wee hours of the morning trying
to conquer. Anyway, strange things began to happen at three in the
morning. Clock radio's would go off (not set), smoke detectors, etc. My
father would wake up angry and rip the smoke detector off the ceiling,
take the batteries out, and it would still go off! After a couple days
of this it stopped for a day and then it happened. I was asleep then I
just woke up. Not groggy, fully awake -- I looked at my clock on one
side of my bed (the one near the door) then I turned my head to the
other side and saw an old looking man, very pale white, sitting on all
fours with his head cocked towards me looking right at me! It looked
like he was wearing a baggie loin cloth, and he was emaciated, with
piercing eyes.
I quickly turned my head away in shock and then made a bolt for the
door. My mother was sitting at the end of the couch playing her Nintendo
(at three in the morning) when she saw me come out of my room scared to
death. I explained to her what I just saw, then slept on the couch.
It took me a year to figure out what I saw that night. That May my father
was given a year to live (cancer). He wanted to die at home so we had
Hospice take care of him. He died one year exactly on the day he was
diagnosed. He died on the couch. His 250-pound frame was a mere 80
pounds of skin and bones. His skin and hair were white, almost
translucent. Wearing nothing but a pair of baggy white boxer shorts, he
died with his eyes open -- his piercing blue eyes.
I saw this a year before it happened.
