I Saw Dead
People
by Sarah-Claire
When I was a child, my mother and grandmothers always caught me talking to "invisible" people.
I am 12 years old now, but I can still remember most of the people I talked to. Most of the time they were dead relatives. My grandfather, and great-grandmothers were a few. Occasionally, I would talk to people I was unfamiliar with. If I did not know them, they were always children, like myself.
One time, I was talking to a girl that was about six or seven. I was only about three, but we had fun talking. Her name was Ashleigh, and she was trying to warn me. She kept telling me," Look after Becky. Look after Becky. Never leave her out of your sight."
The next night, I had a dream that my Pappy was telling me the same thing. The next day, my older sister, Becky, went off a 15-foot cliff. I cried because I had let them down. My Pappy came to me in a dream the night she went off. He told me not to worry, she would be okay, and that I was the only one outside with her, and I was watching her.
Another encounter with my family's dead was just last year, in February, when I was very sick with bronchitis and strep throat. My fever was over 104, I heard my mother saying. I fell asleep, but woke up at about 2 a.m. I was scared because I thought Voldemort (in Harry Potter) was coming to kill me. I walked down the hall to my mom's bedroom, but before I reached the door I got really dizzy and fell down the steps. I couldn't get up. Someone was standing next to me and I was scared. My pappy was there. I only saw him when I was a baby, because he had died, but I knew who he was from my dreams. He told me to run upstairs to my mothers room and stay away from the door. I didn't listen.
Later that night, I woke up to people talking. I looked down the stairs because I was in my mom's room and the door was open. There was a man and a woman talking about how they were going to kill me. They came toward me and I couldn't breathe. My mother and stepfather woke up and called 911. I was having a seizure. I don't remember anything else.
My guardian angel or ghosts? I don't know what to think now.
