I Floated Down the Stairs
Rate this encounter:
OB_Nurse, Ohio, July 1957
I am now a well-educated 53 year old woman, but when I was 3 1/2 years old,
I floated down the stairs of our house built in 1903 twice. I fell down
these steps very frequently, so I started sitting on the top step and
scooting down the steps on my bottom. One day I suddenly rose up and floated
down the stairs! I started screaming for my mother who was outside hanging
clothes on the line, but she did not arrive until I landed at the bottom of
the stairs. This happens twice, and my mother remembers me screaming for her
and telling her what happened. Of course she did not believe me at the time,
but since I am still swearing to it 50 years later, she now believes me. As
an adult, I found out that my great-great grandparents died in that house in
March of 1927, just four days apart. My great-great grandmother was dying,
and her husband decided to starve himself to death so he would die first. He
died just 4 days before her. We lived in that house until I was 10, and
besides the stairs incidents, I could not sleep at night because when I fell
asleep, I heard a man's voice calling my name, which woke me up. Once we
moved from the house I never heard this again. I am very anxious to hear
from others who have had this kind of experience. I have told very few
people about this in my life, and when I have I have been ridiculed. It
happened, I would swear it on a stack of bibles. Anyone else with a similar
experience?
