18. Grandpa came to play with me

“I don’t remember this happening as I was very young but it’s still something that my mom talks about to this day.

I was a wee lad almost 2 I think when my mom’s father passed away from pancreatic cancer. He used to play with me apparently in my old toy room as a way to take his mind off his cancer. My mom says she would always hear me giggle whenever he did.

So it’s the day after his funeral. I’m in the toy room and she’s in the kitchen. She hears me giggle and being a curious mom comes and asks me what’s so funny?

‘Grandpa came to play with me,’ I said. She just stared at me she tells me for a solid 5 seconds and says OK…

Apparently after she left the room I started giggling again.”

19. Suddenly I’m on my back in a field, staring at the stars

“I was at a Halloween party at my friend’s house which was located on a huge property in the middle of the woods. She lived up near Whiskeytown, so mountains, a lot of trees and fields. Had a couple horses.

I arrived that night, there was a gathering of people, maybe 10 at most. We were just talking, mostly outside on the patio. Other than her patio lights it was dark as fuck beyond the moonlight and stars.

One second I’m talking to three of the people there on the patio, the next second, literally in a blink of an eye, I awake in a field about a couple miles away from her house. Just opened my eyes and I’m on my back, in a field, staring at the stars. I stood up and could see her house in the distance. I started calling out hello, but no one was around.

I walked at a brisk pace back to her place, was walking around, EVERYONE was gone. The lights were all on, but no one was there, I even called out my friend’s name outside but no response. I slip back into the house through the sliding glass door, still calling out, she stumbles out of her room. Tells me everyone went home, and she is asleep with her boyfriend in her room, but I’m welcome to crash on her couch. I just sat down, dumbfounded, and kept asking her when everyone left? What was going on? She seemed to have no idea what I was talking about, and then I realize the sun was coming up and before that it was around 11pm at night, and now it was 5 or 6. I have never been able to put together what happened, where all those hours went, and how I ended up so far away in a field. I hadn’t done any drugs and maybe just a couple beers.”
