My experiences with the paranormal have been getting stronger and stronger
as I continue to grow older and something in my heart tells me that my
spirit was given a job. It's not just in my heart, it's also in my memory
because one night on a later tour of Waverly Hills Sanatorium I was walking
with the tour group when out of nowhere I find myself in a place I have
labeled "the shadow realm." I looked all around me, I had never seen any of
this before in my life. I saw several demonic shadow figures who looked very
angry with me and then suddenly an angel appeared in the midst of them all
and with a voice like that of a little girl's said to them all, "Move away."
The angel looked like someone I had seen in the historical sight of Waverly
Hills -- a little girl named "Mary Lee." She was frightening, but at the
same time a welcoming sight from the midst of all the demonic figures. She
didn't have any eyes and she looked in my direction and held out her hands
which held a sword with a lion around the blade handle, and said, "Take this
and use it to banish demons and spirits that come to haunt places you
visit."
Then I remember allowing her to hand me the blade and the next thing I
remember I was back in reality with the tour group and my friend Mark
appeared as though nothing had happened until he looked on my back and asked
me something that scared me to death, "Where did you get that sword?" I
looked at him and said, "Good one, Mark. There's no sword on my back." he
looked at me and said, "Look for yourself." I reached back and felt the
handle of a sword! I was very scared at this point and thought that if there
was a sword on my back, why hadn't the tour thrown me out by now? Everyone
looked at us when they heard us talking and said, "You two are both crazy,
there is nothing there!" I couldn't believe it. No one else saw it but us!
When we finally left on the drive back to my house I turned to Mark and
asked, "Mark, would you think I was crazy if I told you while we were on
that tour I disappeared into something like another dimension?"
He said, "What are you talking about? You never left" I told him about all
of this and he said, "Man, you are crazy, but I can't deny any of it with
that sword in your trunk." And then it hit him, he forgot to ask me about
the sword. I told him what I saw when I got the sword and he told me one of
the legends about a girl named Mary and a lot of mean peoples' ghosts that
still reside in Waverly. I just simple said, "Mark, I think I found them."
He looked at me and then I just kept looking at the road and kept driving.
To this day we hardly ever talk about what happened except between the two
of us. We agreed to this and he said, "Fine, you can tell other people about
the experience but just don't cry to me when they call you crazy!" And I
said, "Fine." To this day we are still friends and vowed never to split as
friends and with blood we sealed that pact!
