I'm going to begin this update by saying I've been deliberately blocking this/ them/ whatever they are out. I'm very, very glad y'all also see this. It is certainly a much needed relief. Tell me though, in your own opinions, do you think the shadow grainy like figure in the 2nd pic thats very close to me, is the same as the bright light surrounded figure farther away in the 4th pic? I think I already know, but I want yalls opinions. Sorry I say "y'all" so much, I am an East Texan after all. Joking aside, I can't tell you enough how real and true what I've been telling y'all actually is. What I've said is true, the pics are real in every way. So that means I'm not crazy. I knew I wasn't, but you know you can't just talk to anyone about this kind of stuff. I hate it sometimes. Other times I'll allow myself to listen to them or allow myself to see them or however you want to put it. It's like being on the phone with someone, while 100 other people are trying to beep in and it interrupts everything. Or not wanting to talk to anyone on the phone at the moment and they just keep on calling. I'm just glad y'all see this too and can understand. It used to not bother me really as it/ they/ whatever these are came every so often. Now though, maybe because my son can hear them now too, maybe that's whats caused the contacts to increase, I dont know. I've considered trying to get a legitimate 'medium' if that's even possible, to just come to my house, walk the property with me and not act like a medium but just an old friend and us shoot the breeze. Then afterward, meet up somewhere away from here and discuss what they felt or seen or heard. I'm uncertain though as many or most of those people are as fake as a good Monday morning. As I've thought about it the last week or so, I've realized that right before these increased occurrences started, I had 3 out of body experiences while sleeping. Now that may sound dumb or funny or fake to some, but had you been me or it happened to you, you would probably also end up here wanting answers soon enough. And its just the weird unexplainable things that always happen around me or my family. It's just so much thinking and writing. Okay, so 1 year ago and also 2 years ago, two dear friends died young. Also, 3 years ago, my uncle whom I was very close to also passed away in his late 50s and he had a family and a single girl in her very early 20s. One of my friends had passed a day after my birthday 2017 or the night of my bday, no one knows exactly. His then 8 yo daughter had always went to a school in the next district over her entire life. The very following school year after his death, his then 8 yo daughter not only started going to my sons school in the next town over, but the same exact classroom and the same class periods for every class they had. Now I know, coincidences do happen if you believe in coincidences, but for the record I don't. I believe things happen for a reason, you just have to understand it. My other friend Johnny, died tragically a year younger than me also in 2017. A few months later, I had a dream, but not a dream, where I was standing in a super bright hallway with all of my friends who had either passed or were severely injured and in crippling states, not a lot but maybe 5 total. In my " dream", it started as I was already standing there in this hallway with super bright walls and floors and ceiling , everything. Like someone had the floodlights on. And as I finally realize in my dream that I'm talking to Morgan, but he's crippled and in a wheelchair and can't even speak any longer in real life, he's standing there telling me a joke and already laughing before he finished it. Then someone approaches us and I look over to my right and it's Johnny. But he passed away July 4th 2017, but it seems so real and he's right here. I look at him with what must have been a happy yet sad face, because before I could speak he says, "Hey Wayne! Hey man, it's good to finally see you again man!" I said, "man Johnny, I never thought Id never see you again". He says, "Don't worry about that right now man and he's all grinning and smiling and happy and he says here man I have something for you. I looked down as he started to raise his arms and he has a big wad of what looked like bright white sheets all balled up in his arms. I reached out and as I did, I looked up at him and with a smile he says, here man, this is for you. I take the balled up sheets and fold the top piece over and a little newborn baby is inside. I looked up at Johnny and he looked at me and smiled big and walked away. That "dream" messed me up for a while. Shortly after, I literally had a "dream" that I came out of my body and floated toward the ceiling for a split second. I turned over and looked at myself sleeping in bed and my wife beside me. Everything had a bright light blue glow all around. I looked at myself for what felt like a few minutes, maybe 2 or 3. Then I reached down and started rubbing, almost petting, my body's head and it's hard to explain. It's like I was comforting my own self from somewhere else. It was unexplainable. I did this for what seemed like nearly 10 minutes, even lightly touching my body's face like in a caressing motion. I know, it sounds stupid, but that's what happened. I remember waking up and feeling "off" like almost wave sick or motion sick. I actually didn't feel right for several days after this one. Then last summer my deceased Uncle, called me to him in heaven or someplace like it, I don't know exactly. That night, I fell asleep like normal. Not sure of the time this happened, but all of a sudden it was like I was snatched upward, like a rope tied around my waist and I was going upward thru this super bright fluorescent tunnel. As fast as if I was strapped to the front of a missile. It felt scary at first then as I'm looking up watching this tunnel fly by, I just see this massive ultra bright light beam shining down at me. I hit it and bust through so to speak and I'm instantly standing in this beautiful place that was like the most beautiful park you can imagine. I remember looking down at my feet in the green, green grass. Then someone calls my name and I recognize the voice. I look up and it's so bright here I can barely see. I squint and put my hand up to shield my eyes to see. There's my Uncle waiving at me standing up on the hill, what we would say was maybe 100 yards away. He calls me again and waves me over to him with a big smile. I yell to him and run toward him. As I approach him I run up and we give each other a huge hug. While I'm hugging him, I look down and there's his most beloved dog, Remington, long since passed, but standing right beside him. I look up at him as we release each other from this super hug and he must have seen the sorrow on my face because he says, "Hey, hey. It's okay, it's okay. I'm alright, I'm fine. I'm just fine. But I need you to tell all the family something for me." I remember wiping away tears as I said okay. He then says, " I need you to tell them that I'm okay and that that I love them and miss them very much and not to worry about me. Can you do that for me?" I remember looking around this gorgeous place as I said," yes I will, but I don't want to go back." He looked at me and said, "But you have to go now." He grabbed me and hugged me hard again and as we release the hug he reached out with his right hand and sort of tapped my left shoulder and it was like I was reverse shot thru a cannon back down thru this ultra bright tunnel. I smashed into my body that was in bed and instantly jumped up and was already in heavy tears, sobbing, choking and on the verge of vomiting. My wife jumped up out of bed asking me what was wrong and I couldn't even talk. I was trying, but nothing would come out properly. It was all jibberish and I couldn't even understand what I was saying. Anyway, I passed his message on to the family, the next day, like I promised. Ever since this event happened, all the weird stuff here at the house has heavily increased. It's just weird and sometimes I don't know how to handle all this. I just take it day by day and hope for the best.
