Vietnam Ghost
I thought I sendyou a story my mom told me last night.
This was sometime back when I was just a small boy and I barelyremember what took place, however I do remember the event. Thishappened sometime early during the Vietnam war and one night mymother awoke feeling cold and clammie as she put it. She said shewas just laying there in bed without openning her eyes, but shestarted having this feeling that someone else was in the room.
She opened her eyes and when she peered to the end of the bed,she saw her younger brother standing there smiling. She calledout his name calmly and asked what he was doing there. This inturn awaken my father, who swears he awoke hearing her brothersay, "I've come to say good-bye sis".
My mother started to sit up and saw her brother smiling and thenjust vanish before her eyes. My father now fully awake looked atthe clock and saw it saw about 1:20am in the morning. They couldnot go back to sleep, and my mother felt something aweful hadhappened to her brother.
At around 4:30pm the next day, the Army drove up and a Captaingot out and walked up to the door, my mother knew what was aboutto be said and started crying. They we're told that my uncle haddied yesterday when he jumped off a tank and landed on a mine,killing him instantly.
The weird thing is, because of the time difference and about thetime they said he died, my dad figured it would be about 1:20amour time. And what do you make of that? Gives me a weird feelingmyself.
Later,
