Pinching Premonition
Rate this encounter:
Christine, Auckland, New Zealand, May 5,
2006
This just happened recently, and I'm still kind of freaked out. I
hear spirits all the time. I sometimes see shadows, but have only once
seen something more directly -- my father-in-law in a mirror, but that's
a different story. This one is about my aunt and the first (and
hopefully last) time a spirit has physically touched me.
A little background: my parents, brother and sister, and I lived
right next to my aunt and uncle. I have since moved to Auckland, New
Zealand.
Anyway, I was having a nightmare that included my aunt and some of my
old neighbors. It took place in the old neighborhood, and my aunt (we
called her Sissy) had started a nasty and untrue rumor about me and let
the neighbor across the street tell everyone. I was awakened by a sharp
pinch on my calf. It was very real. The pinch didn't stop with the
physical pain; it spread an icy cold up my leg, which lingered. I sleep
on my left side, and it was my right leg, so I am pretty sure I didn't
pinch a nerve or anything. I looked at the clock; it was almost 4:00 AM.
Much later that day, I broke down and emailed my mother, saying "I know
this is strange, but..." I told her about the dream and the pinch and
asked if my Aunt Sis and the neighbor across the street were okay. I
kept saying I knew it sounded weird, but I was convinced something had
happened.
Her response startled me. She didn't think I was crazy. My Aunt Sis
had passed away the night before, around quarter to midnight their time.
That would put her time of death right about the time I was pinched.
