Sensitive to Another World
by Dawn O.

I am 28 years old and live in California. I believe in God and I am a Christian and stand strong in my faith. A few years back we lived in an apartment, which rumor had it was haunted because a man killed his wife and kids. I never looked into it to see if it was true or not... and still don't know if it holds truth or not. All I know is the experiences I had there and still have.

Where we lived at the time was what you would call rural area. My son got a walkie-talkie for Christmas and he wanted to try it out, so he went to his bedroom and started talking on it, but I couldn't hear him. I got more static than anything, then it cleared up. But what I did hear sent shivers down my spine and I wasn't really sure then why. It was the voice of a little boy, who sounded like he was far, far away. He kept saying over and over, "Matthew," (my son's name) "Come and play with me."

I took the walkie-talkie and asked the little boy who he was, thinking maybe it was a kid somewhere playing around, but he wouldn't answer me. It was like he couldn't even hear me. He just kept repeating the same thing over and over again. This went on for about an hour and I recorded it with my stereo, but don't know what happened to the tape. After that, weird things began to happen. I would know when the phone would ring and who it would be before it happened. At Christmas, I was rearranging the gifts under the tree to make room and I picked up the first gift and I got this image; I just "knew" what it was. I didn't even really get a mental image; it was a "knowing." I asked my husband if I was right and he turned white. At Christmas, he handed me my gifts and asked me to do it again. I got every one of them right. How could I know something I have yet to see? 

I would wake up out of a peaceful sleep to see a spirit in white at my bedroom door and I wasn't scared. I felt peace and love. One night I woke up from a terrifying dream, and normally I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep, but I felt a presence and someone touch my forehead. I felt the fear drain from me and felt so loved and protected. I thought nothing of it and fell back to sleep.

Another occasion, I was watching TV and would hear someone who sounded far away and at the same time the sound sounded like it was on an old Victrola. It was a man whistling some tune that I didn't know, but it sounded like something from the '20s, but I wasn't scared. For about two weeks, I would see a white ball of light bounce across the bottom of my TV. That freaked me out a little because there wasn't any place the light could come from. I finally said, "I see you and you are starting to scare me. Please go away." I never saw it again.

There was one time I was unloading my dishwasher and was thinking of things I had to do the next day, and I felt something go right though me and it scared me so bad I couldn't stop shaking because it was evil - so much rage and hate. I started reading my Bible, and as I read through it, I would read how God doesn't like psychics and soothsayers because they deceiving and lying, etc. I shut off all of my senses because I don't want God mad at me for something I did not ask for.
