What was it that I saw?

[Big Black Dog]

Way back in the late 1950's when I was a young boy there was a group of us (3 in all) playing outside at night on a large pile of sand beside of my Grandfather's country store. It was probably close to 9:00 pm. All three of us boys saw the same thing and describe it just the way I am about to describe it to you. I would be interested in knowing what it was that I saw...

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a bright light appear just as you would flip a light switch and have light appear in a room. It appeared just that quickly. The brightness was just as bright as a car's headlight and it nearly caused your eyes to hurt as you looked at it. In the brightness of the light was what appeared to be a young girl wearing a long robe type of dress. The details of the girl in the light was very clear. She had what appeared to be long blonde hair, a very pretty smile, appeared to be about our age at the time which was around 9 years old. The image was so clear that you could see the folds in the robe the girl was wearing. All three of us boys stopped playing to watch this thing. At first it was stationary about 15 feet away from us. Then it began to move away from us but not at a fast speed. We all called out to it and the girl turned her head towards us and smiled and gave a brief wave of her hand. Then she was gone just as quickly as she appeared. I would say that the whole episode lasted for about 15 or 20 seconds.

Some things have always made me wonder about what it was that I saw. First of all, 9 year old boys don't necessarily think of girls as "pretty". This girl in the light was very pretty. I also felt a calmness that I have never felt since in my lifetime.

Anybody else have an experience like this? What was it that I saw? I promise you that what I am saying is the truth and not a joke or some kind of a hoax. Nobody in my whole lifetime has been able to explain this to me? I would be interested in your feedback.

You likely came into contact with sand fungus (Fusarium oxysporum) which releases a hallucinogenic exotoxin.

Didn't know anything about shrooms way back then!

 

[Big Black Dog]

xotoxI - lmao!

Meh, Xotoxi put it in more detail ...

Bah!

 

[Zoom-boing]

I have no clue but . . . . wow. Could it have been some kind of projection image from someone/something else?

 

[Big Black Dog]

Haven't you guys ever seen anything you couldn't explain?

 

[Zoom-boing]

Haven't you guys ever seen anything you couldn't explain?

Not yet, but I keep hoping!

 

[Big Black Dog]

Zoom-boing - No, couldn't have been anything like that or at least I don't think so. The sand pile, although fairly close to my Grandfather's store, was pretty much in the open and we would have seen someone that was shining some kind of light at us. No, what I saw was exactly as I described it. I'm getting the rasphberries here but I've gotten that kind of response all of my life when I tell this story.

 

[KittenKoder]

Haven't you guys ever seen anything you couldn't explain?

Nope, not at all. I've been a hobbyist ghost hunter to, still haven't seen anything that I couldn't explain. Thought I did several times, but after some investigation (while what I saw was fresh in my mind and not some 20 or 30 odd years later) I always found some rational explanation.

 

[Big Black Dog]

KittenKoder - This is the only thing I've seen in my life time that I couldn't explain.

Truckers on I-10 in the desert near Barstow, California, historically and repeatedly have reported seeing a young woman with long blonde hair dressed in a white flowing gown at night.

Heavenly Encounters: Two Who Slip Away


Our Lady of Fátima - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[Sarah G]

I thought of Our Lady of Faitima the very first thing. It's because she was said to have appeared to the three little girls.

I've felt a presence around me, I do all the time. I'm a believer not because it was pounded into our heads while growing up and attending Catholic school but because I sense it to be true. Like my sig says, I just know it.

What made you think about it now?

 

[RodISHI]

When Rod was a child he saw the Lord with His angels descending from the sky. He recalls that he was 3-4 years old.

"It started out a sunny warm day. I was outside and it started clouding up. The clouds were banking up and I heard a thunder. The thunder was different from what I would normally hear when a storm was moving in. It was a constant rumble. I looked up into the sky and saw an opening in the moving boiling clouds. I heard someone shout. The cattle in the field started running. They all ran up to the barn. Then they couldn't get into the barn so the neighbors old bull and the younger bulls ran towards trees in the field. It seemed the bulls were trying to get into the trees as to try to hide. There were two young bulls and one great big red colored bull. The bulls gathered into the plum trees and the thickets to hide. The cows and calves and I stood there looking into the sky.

I saw two little angels with wings on their backs and they would blow horns and then I would hear the Lord shout a name. I saw a beautiful chariot pulled by a team of whites horses. The Lord and a beautiful lady were in the chariot. Her long golden hair was flowing out behind her. It was golden actually prettier than blonde hair. It flowed out past the chariot behind her. The Lord had wavy shiny black blueish color hair. His eyes were like fire, like flames (I'm uncertain exactly how to describe this.) They were beautiful. It was the most beautiful sight I have ever seen in my lifetime. I felt weightless. I don't even remember if my feet were on the ground. It was energy power, peace, calm. He would call out without speaking and it was like the horses knew what he was thinking. He did not hold the reigns as they were laid over the front part of the chariot. He had a big red belt kind of wide and in the center was a multi-colored medallion with a large jewel in the front of it.

The traces and the harness were not leather. There was a center in the lines that was all colors with all different shapes in it round, square, diamond and triangle shaped. The outter edge of the traces were some type of material that appeared to be more like fluffy white fur that glistened with gold type trim. The chariot was inlaid with beautiful colors of metalic type blue. There were yellow, gold, red and black emblems on the chariot. Over the front of the chariot was two wing that wrapped around the sides of the chariot and met in the front of the chariot. In the center of that was some type of medallion like a jewel. Colors I had never seen here on earth. Everything was clean just spotless. It was all light, vivid as if everything was within a spot light. No shadows just radiant pure white light.

I heard him yell words I had never heard. I heard the thunder of the horses feet but they never touched the ground. They circled around towards the ground and circled around me. As I looked at him I saw into his eyes. It was like he saw inside of me. Something happened I cannot describe. After I had looked into his eyes he smiled at me. The lady was watching and she smiled also. From her I felt that I wasn't to be afraid. When he looked at me after she smiled at me I was scared to death. All I can say is he has to be the mightiest of the mighty and I knew it and that realization is what scared me. After he had looked at me he said gath or gaff I'm not sure which. When he said that the horses leaned into the harness and began to move again.

The horses even had power. They would stomp their feet and blow and you could feel it. Even though they never touched the ground I could feel the ground shake as they stomped their feet. I could feel their breath. Even the horses breath was fresh.

A troop of angels followed the chariot. They were in rows of eight. It went from the ground behind the chariot. It was like a giant scarf that did not end. The endless band of angels disappeared up in the sky behind the Lord. The whole procession wound itself around the ground and never ended. Then it all went back into the sky. I ran to the barn. I threw the door open and I ran into the manger and hunkered down and hid. I shook so severely I distinctly remember the bones in my body rattled as I shook. I wept I cried. It was very emotional and I was terrified."

He still gets shook up thinking about it when he tells me what he saw. It was real and I have no doubt as to what he saw was real. Others can take it or leave it that is their choice.

RodISHI - That quite an interesting story. Never heard anything like it before...

My brother said he used to see ghosts wandering around in the graveyard below our house (on our property) when he was about 16 years old.

But then he was always stoned out of his mind, and the graveyard was just a few yards from a swamp.

He also claimed to have an owl leading him around at night...but he was taking shrooms that time, and owls actually will do that and we had families of them nesting around. They'll buzz you, then land in front of you, and wait until you get close, then fly off a little way. I've had bald and golden eagles do the same thing to me.

I'd say you guys saw someone, probably, that you weren't expecting, and who left quickly.

I was staying in the back yard of my grandma's house with my cousin when I was about 15 and some weird guy in a trench coat sneaked between grandma's house and my aunt's house and was watching us from the rose bushes. We ran screaming into the house, woke up my dad and grandma, who (after my dad patrolled the area with a buck knife) determined we were hysterical nitwits who were making things up.

You probably saw someone. It wasn't a ghost.

That is the reason he has never shared it with another except for me. I don't have a problem with sharing what I believe or what I have seen as long as the person who is asking is sincere.

He wanted me to tell you that the stories about if you see an angel like you have, does not mean an eminent death in the family or some disembodied lost soul. The angel you saw Rod says was the angel of youth and truth. He says if you have questions about what you saw, contact the other two kids and see what they say. You were seen as a group of three.

Three of Rod's sisters saw and spoke with angels when he was a few years old. He had been jumping on the bed and hit his head. He was knocked out cold. Three angels appeared and told the girls, "Do not touch him". Even today they have a hard time talking about the experience. One sister has since gone on. Just before she passed at her home she saw something. The family was present and the girls will not talk about it. Rod had five sisters and no brother.
