(First of all I would like to say that I don't believe in ghosts. I believe when someone dies they cease to be alive or aware, or consious of anything..they are dead. But I DO believe in angels and demons, and I believe that they often interract in poeple's lives.Angels often step in to save us from hazards, and demons generally try to make life as miserable as possible for us, often taking the forms of dead loved ones to confuse and frighten us. In this story I'm about to relate, there is what I believe to have been an angel AND a demon...a battle was won between them, and I'm glad to say it wasn't the demon. =) Years ago, when my mother was 20 or so, she and my father were visiting my grandmother at Christmas. My grandmother was very upset at this time in her life because of the numerous fights that she had been having with my grandfather...she loved him and was afraid that somehow their marriage was failing. When my parents arrived, she had been in a severe state of depression. But my parents had no idea how truely depressed she was.... It was 2 days until Christmas , and my mother and grandma were doing dishes downstairs. When everything had been washed and put away, my mother told gramdma that she was tired and was going upstairs for a nap. My grandma nodded and said she would go,too. My mother had been sleeping peacefully for a while when she was awoken by words in her head (not audible, but more like implanted thought words). They were urgant.."Wake up! Your mother's trying to kill herself!!" She gasped and sat up. "What an odd dream!", she thought. She blinked a couple times, shrugged, then laid back down to sleep. She started to drift off when again the words came. This time even more urgant. "Wake up! Your mother's trying to kill herself! Hurry, or it will be too late!!" This time she listened. Frightened and confused, she made her way out into the hallway, and began to search for my grandma. She called her name and walked down the hall to grandma's bedroom. When she got there, she noticed that the door was open a few inches. She stood outside it and called, "Mother??". No answer at first, and then a voice in the room said in a really tired kind of aggitated way, "What?". Well, my mother was so happy to think that grandma was ok , that she threw open the door and ran in......but.....no one was there!! Well, then my mom REALLY wigged out and began searching the room frantically. Under the bed, behind the curtains, behind the dresser.. Then the voice came again.."Hurry!!! She's in the garage with the door shut and the car motor on!!" Mom rushed downstairs, and pulled open the garage door. And there, sitting in the car slumped over the steering wheel was my grandmother..the fumes in the garage were thick and she was barely consious. Mom yelled for my dad and together they dragged her out of the car to safety. (So there you have it. My mother and I believe it was an angel that saved my grandma that day and are very grateful for it. We also believe that it was a demon that was behind the door. It's ploy didn't work, however. Instead of being relieved and walking away, my mother went in to see her. Way to go, ma! hehe =) Also, my grandparents worked everything out and spent many more years together. My grandma still likes to talk about God and his wonderful angels! Thanks! Hope you enjoyed it)
