Experience Description

I was very worried about Jim, but he sent me home because he said he was finished. I didn't want to go, I felt bad at leaving him. But I had a bad feeling so I had put half the airfare down to see him and tell him I loved him. When he died, I used the airfare to go to his funeral on November 1, 1980. His coming to me got me to call or I would have never got to the funeral in time. And his family didn't like me so they wouldn't have told me.

They were shocked I got there so fast. Over the years, his ghost has saved my life at least four times. Once when a rapist came through my bedroom window, Jim's ghost showed up and scared him off. Once when a home invasion intruder was strangling me he pulled her off. One more squeeze I would have been dead. The first time was 1981, the second time was 1987, and the third time was 1997. In 1997, I had locked myself outside in thirty below weather. At night I was home alone. I was in my night gown; I tried to get in threw a window and got stuck half way. My legs would have frozen off. I couldn't move backwards or forwards, I then felt Jim's hands grab my forearms and pull hard. It hurt bad I later had black marks on my belly. I fell into the room on my face but my son's ten-speed bike broke my fall. It took me three baths of hot water to feel my kegs again. I never saw Jim, I felt him pull me out. My son didn't come in till the next day; the doctors would've cut my legs off.
