Vision:
Blessing or Curse?
by Tara
My grandmother lived in Alabama and I always loved going to spend the summer with her (we live Texas -- it's too humid!). She always had a special "intuition." She once told my mother when her older brother left to go to work that they would never see him again and on his way home the next weekend, he was killed in an automobile accident. It seems that this "intuition" or sensitivity has been passed down through the generations.
When my grandmother passed away about four years ago, I was standing at the graveside service and I happened to look down the hillside. When I did, I saw a man hanging from the tree and several men watching him die. These men looked rough as they held guns and hounds on leashes. It was very eerie, like a peek back in time. I shook it off and got into the car to leave.
On Halloween two years later, we were very slow at work, so a colleague and I were looking up haunted places and I happened to look up locations in Alabama. I read about a cemetery in Gadsden that was originally a plantation with a horrific past involving hangings and lynchings. I didn't know the name of the cemetery where my grandmother was buried, but I called my mother and sure enough it was the same cemetery.
Is this a blessing or a curse?
