I would have posted this earlier but have been to busy reading the great threads this week.
I arrived at work last Friday in an upbeat mood. It was after all, the end of the week and I was looking forward to the weekend. I had done the EE the night before, had slept well and had dropped the kids off at school, and had a fairly free day ahead of me at the office. It was one of those rare moments that the “Universe” treats one to, when all feels well with the “micro- world” around you, if you know what I mean.
As I was walking across the office to my desk, one of my colleagues shouted,
“Hey Al is your house haunted” I replied that I didn’t think so, although my son, when he was 3 years old thought he saw a man with a donkey in the garden, and an elderly neighbour in her nineties, did say there was once a donkey field where the house now stands.
But my colleague continued “Only, last night I had a dream that your wife bought a Ouija board to contact some friendly spirits and summoned up a violent, evil ghost that had no eyes and terrorised the family and smashed up the house. You left the house because you had to go to work and left them all to it. It was terrible” he continued “driving them crazy and trying to kill them all. But you got a phone call calling you back home and you and I went to your house and tried to find it, but couldn’t.
I woke up after that., and don’t know how it ended”
Quite frankly, the lad freaked me out a bit. It's not that I suspect that he is gifted with any particular “vision” or anything, and he is not remotely spiritual in any way. In fact he is a big bulky rugby-player type chap, but he stood all the hairs up on the back of my neck, and although I feel silly, he genuinely freaked me.
Presumably he just thought it was all a bit funny, but it certainly “woke me up” from the "happy haze" that I had been in that morning.
Maybe it was the “Universe” keeping me on my toes?
