Happy Halloween, dearest Legionnaire.
It’s that dreaded time of the year when we all turn off our lights and pretend we’re not home as hordes of kids in their monstrous attire come knocking on our doors, demanding all of the sugary treats our pantries have to offer.
I did toy with the idea of wrapping Brussels sprouts in empty candy wrappers; alas, I’d hate to give the little cretins one of their five a day.
So I’m writing this email instead.
And as it's the spookiest day of the year, oh, have I got a goodie for you.
After sharing my first paranormal encounter yesterday, let’s just say it stirred up a flurry of replies.
Of all of them, one stood out.
It came from one of the Legion’s longest-standing members who bravely shared not one supernatural encounter…
Not two…
BUT THREE.
And let me tell you, her stories are not for the faint of heart.
Take it away, Jennifer:
I have heard 2 different voices and saw one apparition. Also upside down crosses, that should not have been.
The voices were on the same night. My daughter should have been asleep this night. I hear her calling me… Mom…. mom MOM! It sounded just like her. I finally go to her room to see what she wanted. She was sound asleep. Voice 2- I am on my way back to our home office. Half way there, I hear a male gutteral gravely voice tell me to get out of my house.
Apparition- I was a teen staying at my first step dad's house. Myself and his new wifes kids were sleeping in the basement for some reason. I had to use the bathroom, that was upstairs. I got up and walked towards the stairs. There was an oversized lazyboy chair. As I was walking toward where it should have been, it was gone and in its place stood a 2ft tall Virgin Mary. I don't know if it was there to comfort or scare, but it terrified me. I fast walked past to the stairs, looked back and it had not moved but did turn around watching me and putting one hand out like it wanted me to hold it. I shot up the stairs and did what I needed. When I came back down stairs, it was gone, chair was back.
One more thing that happened in a military barracks common area. There was a large group of us sitting aroynd talking about our experiences. I look up at the windows in the room. Normally regular 4 split evenly. When I looked, they were all split as upside down crosses. Scared me, had someone else look while they were still talking about it. They didn't see anything different. I looked and looked away a few times more. Still the upside down crosses. I made everyone stop talking about it. Only then did I see the normal window.
You can bet your pumpkin pie I’ve arranged a baptism after reading that.
Holy mother of mercy.
Think it’s safe to say this Legionnaire stole Halloween this year. Well earned, Jennifer.
If somehow the stories I’ve shared these past couple of days haven’t satisfied your fix for horror, then, like any good doctor, allow me to prescribe you the medicine:
