So last night, I was laying in bed reading. I had my candles going and my night stand lamp so it was slightly dark in my room, I was reading "The Lovely Bones" courtesy of Mocmoc. Anyways for those of you who don't know the book is about a girl who gets murdered and basically its told from her point of view when she is dead. Seeing as it's almost halloween I thought this would be appropriate. But this is what I was reading....
"..a soul would run by a living being, touch them softly on the shoulder or cheek and continue on the way to heaven. The dead are never exactly seen by the living, but many people seem acutely aware of something changed around them." -- AND THEN!! The smoke detector went off and scared the crap out of me!!! Talk about timing!

It's almost like the time in AP US History in high school when we were watching a video on nuclear bombs. Right when the video said "Nuclear bombs feel like earthquakes" the classroom shook. It was an earthquake. Our teacher yelled for us to get under the desk. So we did. Duck and cover, you know the drill. The teacher next door came over to us and was like "was that an earthquake"? And there we were trembling under our desks. I asked my friends later who weren't in my class if they felt the earthquake, they had no idea it happened.

But speaking of ghosts and how it is halloween...about 3 years ago I was sleeping in Alhambra and I woke up in the middle of the night, unable to move and it felt like someone was pressing down on me. I opened my eyes and there hovering directly above me, face to face, was the pale, hallowed in face of an old man who was wearing a top hat and bow tie..... I quickly closed me eyes.
