After his death, I didn’t dream about my father for three or four years. During his lifetime we often quarreled, he loved to drink and was very violent. On such days the whole family got it.

To tell the truth, when he died, I didn’t really grieve, I thought that at least now my mother would live in peace. She, despite the insults, often remembered him. And here in parent's Saturday my mother asked me to go to church to light a candle for my father’s repose and offer a memorial service. I reluctantly agreed. I overslept in the morning and then decided that I wouldn’t go, it would be enough that my mother often did this. And she went to bed again.

I have already written a story about my cat here, and I want to tell you another one.

My paternal grandfather, from his business trip to the virgin lands, brought the Siberian three-haired Murlichka, a mousetrap of such beauty and intelligence that neighbors lined up for the kittens.

When my parents got married and I was born, the cat didn’t pay any attention to me at first. At the age of 2 months, I began to scream a lot, ate poorly and did not gain weight. Murlichka literally began to break into my crib, lay down next to me and tried to rest her head on my neck. If she was kicked out of the house, the cat would climb up to me through the window and next to her I would calm down a little. I don’t know whose advice my father’s mother listened to, but my grandmother decided that the cat should be thrown away. Grandfather obediently took Murlichka to the dacha.

I’ve been reading the site for a long time, I’ll write separately about the circumstances under which I found it and really fell in love with it. There were mystical events in my life. I want to describe one summer night, I remember it very much.

It was back in 2003, I was living with my parents at the time, my bedroom faces the street, where the sun is in the afternoon, then there was no air conditioning yet, and the heat was like in a steam room. I had to go to work in the morning, an important meeting and I had to speak, I decided to go to bed early, but I couldn’t fall asleep, neither the wet sheet nor the fan helped. The fan gave me a headache, I turned it off and spent half the night wandering either into the kitchen or onto the balcony and already lay down in a state of half-asleep, my body was tired, but my brain did not want to turn off.

The story of the money found brought back memories of my discovery. One day, on the bank of a river, I found a beautiful ring with a ruby. She picked it up and could no longer part with it, although she understood that such things could bring misfortune or even death into the house. Usually they are damaged, but I thought that it might have been lost.

I brought it home and showed it to my mom. To my surprise, she did not scold me, but said that I should put it on a silver chain or silk cord, which is closed with a negative, and hang it in my room. The ring will thus convey positivity and bring good luck, especially since the stone is red – the color of good luck.

My late grandmother also told me that the money found will not bring wealth. She especially forbade raising coins on the road. But one day I simply ignored her ban, deciding that someone had simply lost the money and nothing would happen if I took it for myself.

Early in the morning I was going to work and saw banknotes scattered at the intersection of paths. At first I wanted to pass by, but I couldn’t resist and picked it up, deciding that they would pick them up anyway, so why not me. It was just that money was tight, but here was such a find.

I felt bad all day at work, regret about the money I took was replaced by joy that this money would be enough for me for a whole week. Then a wave of shame and fear came over me again, I wanted to throw them away, but then the thought came that I hadn’t stolen them, but simply found them, and it was unlikely that the person who had lost them would come back for them. To calm down, I spent it all on groceries that evening.

This pond was previously used as a fire pond while the base was in operation. But in the 90s the base was closed, the fence was broken, everything valuable was taken away, leaving devastation and ruins. And they found a “worthy” use for the reservoir, because our people are very talented and creative, so someone realized that it was expensive to remove sewage from the toilet using a sewer truck, and dumped it all into the reservoir. And as often happens, as soon as one person does something nasty, others will immediately pick it up, in general, through the efforts of people, this pit has turned into a septic tank, with a terrible stench and a lot of flies nearby.

On this moment this disgrace was stopped, the pit was buried and an industrial building appeared in its place, but in those days people tried to avoid that place, fortunately there were no residential buildings in the vicinity.

I had one strange incident in my life. I was planning to go shopping on the weekend. I was just about to get on the subway when a friend called and said that she had come to see me and that she needed to see me urgently.

I didn’t want to go back and ruin my plans, but I had to. Annoyed by my friend, who could not warn me in advance about her arrival, I approached my house and only when I entered the entrance, I remembered that I had forgotten the kettle on the stove, since the smell of burning was heard even downstairs.

At the very beginning of the 90s, trouble happened to my grandfather. He worked on a bulldozer at a large construction site. There was an accident and his bulldozer overturned. The tracks (they weigh several tons) crushed the cabin. Other workers managed to save my grandfather: they pulled him out of the cabin and took him to the hospital. At the same time, the doctors were surprised for a long time: “How did you even bring him alive?”

The condition was very serious, you can imagine: fractures, enormous blood loss. He spent a long time in intensive care, his condition remained serious, and later problems with his kidneys began. Toxification of the body began, swelling and grandfather became worse.

My grandmother spent almost all this time in the hospital, was on duty at the intensive care ward, and also spent the night there, under the door. Grandfather's condition became critical. The doctors said that’s it, my heart can’t handle it. If the kidneys don’t start working soon...

From 13-02-2019, 20:03

Georgy got out of the car and glanced quickly at wrist watch and, clicking his tongue dissatisfiedly, quickly walked towards the end of the three-story building. Turning the corner, he went down the steps to the ground floor and, pushing one of the doors, found himself in a small jewelry workshop.

For three days nothing has changed in her. The same stale air mixed with the specific smell of reagents, a bright lamp on the foreman’s desk, a cage with a continuously chirping parrot on the shelf, a huge painting covering half the wall with an inscription in an incomprehensible language, and the same shop owner sitting at the low counter.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked up from the microscope and looked at his guest.
- Well, is my chain ready? - Georgy blurted out straight away.
“Remind me, please...” the jeweler wrinkled his forehead, trying to remember exactly what product he was talking about.
“Gold, fifty centimeters, eleven grams,” the guest impatiently stepped from foot to foot, “the link broke, I left it to you three days ago.”

There is probably not a person in the whole world who would not like to tickle their nerves, at least from time to time. scary stories . Remember, like in a summer camp, when a group of guys gather around the fire and someone starts telling another horror story: everyone is wildly scared, but it was simply impossible to leave without listening to the end. That's how it is human nature– a thirst for the mysterious, mystical, and unknown is, to one degree or another, common to everyone. Ultimately, the desire to know the world in all its manifestations is inherent in us at the genetic level.

But if most mystical stories are nothing more than scary tales or the result of a running imagination, that is, those based on real events . And they really make your blood run cold.

After all, it’s one thing to understand that what scares you doesn’t actually exist, and quite another thing to know that all this is true, and that these events have many eyewitnesses - the same ordinary people, how are you. And if fictional horror stories do not seem scary to you, then real mysticism, stories from real life, will probably be able to make you feel terrible. All the following stories are based on real events.

Nakhodka

Returning from summer holidays, students popular in Sydney primary school Riverwood found a jar filled to the brim with blood in the schoolyard. No one knew where it came from, but since the jar contained about one and a half liters of blood, which is about a third of the total blood volume in the body of an adult, the police became interested in the unusual find. Conducted DNA forensic experts-tests showed that the jar contained real blood belonging to a man. But since no matches were found in the DNA database, it was never possible to find the person to whom this blood belonged. Many local residents believe that the jar found by the students belonged to a vampire who showed up in the city.

After things started disappearing from the house of an elderly Japanese man, he had to install cameras in his house CCTV. In a video recording made one night, the owner of the house saw how a short and very thin woman, unfamiliar to him, quietly climbed out of the wardrobe in his bedroom.

The cameras recorded the stranger walking around the house and looking at different things. She stole money from the man and even took a shower in his bathroom, and then, at dawn, she again disappeared into the closet, slipping in so as not to disturb the owner.

Deciding that it was a burglar who had somehow gotten into his room through the ventilation in the wall, the man contacted the police. The police arrived to clarify the circumstances moved the closet, but neither the ventilation hatch nor any secret passages were found behind it. But when, at the insistence of the owner of the house, they began to break down the wall, they discovered something that made the hair on the heads of those present stand on end. The corpse of the former owner of this house, who disappeared many years ago, was walled up in the wall behind the closet.

Death phone

Bulgarian phone number 0888-888-888 has been considered for many years damned, and some even call it nothing more than a “phone of death.” Since 2000, this number belongs to one of the largest operators mobile communications Bulgaria, and everyone to whom it was connected died a terrible death - every single owner of this number died. So, the first person to be offered this “golden” number died of cancer a few weeks after receiving it. The second and third owners died from gunshot wounds.

A series of deaths continued, and several years later the operator decided to block this number indefinitely.

However, according to many people, the number is still active: usually the machine reports that the subscriber is unavailable, but sometimes a strange, unintelligible voice answers the callers. So if others non-fictional mystical stories seem to you to be nothing more than legends, then you can verify the veracity of this yourself - if you wish.

How often do you come across unusual people in your life? Do you often see amazing things, become witnesses? paranormal phenomena? Most likely, like us, no. But today is exactly that rare case. Read more...

Miracles, anomalies, unusual creatures– all this and much more attracts human attention. Scientists name reasons that are completely different from each other. Some insist that in this way a person affirms his true high existence, the only correct and thorough rational education, without flaws or deviations. Others talk about satisfying curiosity, inquisitiveness, which, in turn, also originates in the depths of the subconscious. Well, today let us adhere to the fact that a person, interested in the mysteries of this world, strives for its knowledge and new discoveries.

Now let's ask ourselves a question: how often do you witness paranormal phenomena in your life? Most likely no. Most often we have to read about such anomalies, watch videos, and so on. Of course, we will not be able to provide you with the opportunity to see with your own eyes all those whom we will talk about, but we will tell you all the most amazing things. So, here are the 8 most unusual deviations in the world, of course, all of them are real life stories.

1. The man who doesn't feel the cold

Wim Hof, a Dutchman, amazed the whole world with his extraordinary ability - insensitivity to cold! His body does not suffer and does not undergo changes from the extremely low temperature for the human body. He even put nine world records.

In 2000, Wim Hof ​​swam 57.5 meters in 61 seconds. At first glance, nothing amazing, but if you do not take into account the fact that this swim took place under the ice of a frozen lake in Finland. True to tradition, he was wearing only warm leggings and knee socks.

In 2006 he conquered Mont Blanc wearing only shorts! The following year, he tried to conquer the dream of all climbers - Everest, but he was prevented ... by frostbite on his toes, since he again climbed the mountain in only his underwear. And yet he does not lose hope and faith, continuing his attempts.

In 2007, the Dutch Iceman amazed everyone and ran half the marathon distance (21 km) barefoot in the snow and wearing shorts. His route took him beyond the Arctic Circle in Finland, where the snow temperature did not exceed 35 degrees below zero.

In 2008, Vim broke his own record for staying in a transparent tube filled with ice. Previously, he managed to stay there for about 64 minutes. Now a new world record has been recorded - 73 minutes!

For scientists, the Dutchman remains an unsolved mystery. Many believe that Vim has such an innate ability, but the latter denies this in every possible way. In many interviews, Hof says that this is only the result of hard training of body and spirit. But when asked about revealing the secret, “ Ice Man"remains silent. One day in a chat he even mentioned a glass of Bacardi. But still, after a while, he revealed the secret of his success: the fact is that he practices the Tummo tantric system, which in fact no one except monks uses.

In any case, such an ability is the fruit of long training, endurance and fortitude, which can only be envied and admired.

2. The Boy Who Never Sleeps

Have you often been overcome by the desire to get rid of the need for sleep? It would seem that this is just a waste of time, and in the end, every person, on average, spends one third of his life simply SLEEPING! But nevertheless, this turned out to be vital for the person himself: the fact is that insomnia over the course of a week activates irreversible consequences in the human body, and after two weeks death is inevitable.

But imagine that some people have fulfilled the dream of many and have not slept for 2-3...years!

One of these phenomena was a baby named Rhett. A seemingly ordinary boy, he was born in 2006 into the family of Shannon and David Lamb. A constantly active and inquisitive child, like all children his age. But when the time comes for daytime and night sleep, he still remains an active and awake tomboy. He is already seven years old, but he still hasn’t slept a wink!

This boy stumped the best doctors in the world who had the opportunity to examine him. No one has been able to explain this deviation. But over time, it became clear that the boy had a displacement of the cerebellum and medulla oblongata, which leads to irreversible consequences. This pathology has already been called Arnold-Chiari disease. The fact is that Rhett’s cerebellum is pinched in the very place that is responsible for sleep and the normal functioning and renewal of the body.

Today we have only been able to establish this unusual diagnosis, which does not bode well, but there is no sign of evil yet. So we will consider that the boy is even lucky - how much he can do in his life, accomplish new things!

3. Girl allergic to water

Man, as you know, consists of 80% water. Our life activity is connected with water like nothing else. This is our source of life, health, harmony. But imagine if you are allergic to water! How many of the usual processes associated with this life-giving liquid will be suspended?

It is this kind of illness that Ashley Morris, a girl from Australia who is allergic to water, has to put up with and get along with. Imagine that she endures discomfort even when she sweats! And the most depressing thing is that this pathology is not congenital.

Until the age of 14, the girl lived and enjoyed life like an ordinary Australian teenager. And then she fell ill with seemingly ordinary tonsillitis. Then the doctors prescribed her medications with large amounts of penicillin. It was large doses of this antibiotic that awakened the allergy to water.

This is an extremely rare disease that affects only about five people in the world, including Ashley. Life doesn't end there, and Morris shows an even greater zest for life. Despite the fact that she is strictly forbidden to come into contact with water for more than a minute (neither you take a bath or shower, nor a swimming pool), she discovered some of the delights of this state. Her boyfriend, taking care of her in every possible way, protects his beloved from washing dishes and laundry! Ashley also pampers herself with new acquisitions using the money she saves on swimsuits and bath accessories.

4. The Girl Who Can Only Eat Tic Tacs

And again, remember your childhood desire to eat only sweets and chewing gum... Unfortunately, Natalie Cooper, an eighteen-year-old Englishwoman, has long forgotten about these dreams. She would love to eat bacon and eggs or pumpkin soup, but her stomach will be against it. The girl can only eat Tic-Tac mints.

Doctors examined the girl many times and did not find any pathologies in the stomach or throughout the digestive tract. But for inexplicable reasons the girl gets sick from everything except 2-calorie pills.

And yet Natalie has to eat, because otherwise her body will not receive energy, which will lead to the inevitable. Doctors have designed special tubes through which Natalie’s body receives the daily dose of vitamins, minerals and other useful substances directly.

Because of this, the girl can neither work nor study, as she is constantly dependent on this procedure, but her family and friends do not lose hope. Natalie herself dreams of going to university in the future, getting Good work and eat not only the already hated pills.

5. The musician who constantly hiccups

Exactly! You can imagine how funny this is, but still unfortunate. Chris Sands is 25 years old, a successful young musician who, leading an active lifestyle, did not even suspect that such an unusual fate awaited him.

It started in 2006 when he had hiccups for about a week, but soon stopped. But in February of the following year she returned almost forever! Since then, the guy has been hiccupping every two seconds.

Doctors say that this looks like a violation of the gastric valve, which is not yet possible to restore.

6. A woman with an allergy to hi-tech

And this is simply a brilliant solution for parents if their children cannot tear themselves away from computers, phones and TVs. But no matter how funny it is, Englishwoman Debbie Bird is not laughing at all. The fact is that she has a pronounced allergy to all kinds of electromagnetic fields (any close contact with technology instantly causes a rash and swelling of the eyelids in the girl).

Having become accustomed to such an illness, Debbie and her husband find some advantages: for example, they will protect their health from the harmful effects of electronics, and they will be able to devote the time saved on all kinds of watching movies, TV series, playing games on the phone, chatting, etc. each other.

7. The girl who faints when she laughs

Here's the problem: you can't even tell her a joke, and noisy companies not for her. Kay Underwood loses consciousness even when she's angry, scared, or surprised. She jokingly says that people, having learned about this peculiarity of hers, immediately try to make her laugh, and then, for a long time, not believing that the lifeless girl lying in front of them fainted. Kay says that somehow she is whole I lost consciousness 40 times a day!

On top of that, the girl is narcoleptic, which is no longer uncommon in the UK, where more than 30 thousand people suffer from this disease. This means that a person can fall asleep at any second of your life. In general, Kay has a hard time, so enjoy every opportunity to laugh without consequences at a good joke.

8. A woman who never forgets anything

How would we need such an ability at school or university - a truly brilliant anomaly!

Jill Price, an American, is endowed with an extraordinary ability - she remembers everything, absolutely everything that happened in her life, all her events. The woman is 42 years old, and if you ask her what happened to her on this very day twenty years ago, she will tell everything in such detail as if it happened five minutes ago.
A scientist from the University of California even gave a special name to this phenomenon - hyperthymestic syndrome, which translated from Greek means “supermemory”.

Previously, only one example of such a manifestation of abilities was known, but soon five more people with similar memory were found in the world. Scientists have not established the cause of this disorder, but they were able to see some similarities between all the patients: they are all left-handed and collect television programs.

Jill Price herself began writing books where she mentions long days depressed because she can't forget the bad things that happened to her.
But she also admits that she could not refuse such an ability.

Stories about things that have no rational explanation, about extraordinary accidents, mysterious coincidences, inexplicable phenomena, prophetic predictions and visions.

WHOSE FAULT?

My old friend, kind interlocutor, teacher, who recently retired, Liliya Zakharovna told me unusual story. She went to visit her sister Irina in the neighboring Tula region.

Her neighbors, mother Lyudmila Petrovna and daughter Ksenia, lived in the same entrance on the same site as Irina. Even before retiring, Lyudmila Petrovna began to get sick. Doctors changed the diagnosis three times. There was no sense in treatment: Lyudmila Petrovna died. On that tragic morning, Ksenia was woken up by the cat Muska, her mother’s favorite. The doctor pronounced him dead. Lyudmila Petrovna was buried very close, in her native village.

Ksenia and her friend came to the cemetery two days in a row. When we arrived on the third day, we saw a narrow, elbow-deep hole in the burial mound. Quite fresh.

Muska was sitting nearby. There was no doubt. Almost simultaneously they shouted: “That’s who dug!” Surprised and gossiping, the girls filled up the hole. The cat was not given to them, and they left without it.

The next day, Ksenia, feeling sorry for the hungry Muska, went to the cemetery again. A relative kept her company. Imagine their amazement when they saw a rather large hole on the hill. Muska, exhausted and hungry, sat nearby. She did not struggle, but calmly allowed herself to be placed in the bag, occasionally mewing pitifully.

Ksenia couldn’t get the episode with the cat out of her head now. And then the thought began to emerge more and more clearly: what if mom was buried alive? Maybe Muska felt this in an unknown way? And the daughter decided to dig up the coffin. Having paid money to some homeless people, she and her friend came to the cemetery.

When they opened the coffin, they saw in horror what Ksenia had foreseen. Lyudmila Petrovna, apparently, tried for a long time to lift the lid. The most terrible thing for Ksenia was the thought that her mother was still alive when she and her friend came to her grave. They didn’t hear her, but the cat heard her and tried to dig her out!

GRANDMOTHER WALKED THROUGH THE FOREST

My grandmother Ekaterina Ivanovna was a pious person. She grew up in the family of a forester and spent her entire life
lived in a small village. She knew all the forest paths, where which berries were found and where the most hidden ones were. mushroom places. She never believed in black supernatural forces, but one day a strange and terrible story happened to her.

She needed to transport hay home from the meadow for the cow. Her sons from the city came to help, and she hurried home to prepare dinner. It was autumn. It was getting dark. It only takes half an hour to get to the village. The grandmother is walking along a familiar path, and suddenly a familiar villager comes out of the forest. I stopped and talked about village life.

Suddenly the woman laughed loudly throughout the forest - and then disappeared, as if she had evaporated. The grandmother was seized with horror, she began to look around in confusion, not knowing which way to go. She rushed back and forth for two hours until she fell exhausted. Just when she thought in confusion that she would have to wait in the forest until the morning, the sound of a tractor reached her ears. She went towards him in the dark. So I went to the village.

The next day the grandmother went to her forest companion's home. It turned out that she had not left the house, had not been in any forest, and therefore she listened to her grandmother with great surprise. Since then, my grandmother tried to avoid that disastrous place, and in the village they said about it: this is the place where the goblin took Katerina. So no one understood what it was: whether the grandmother dreamed it, or the village woman was hiding something. Or maybe it really was a goblin?

A DREAM COME TRUE

Events constantly happen in my life that can only be called miraculous, and all because there is no explanation for them. In 1980, my mother’s common-law husband, Pavel Matveevich, died. At the morgue, his things and watch were given to his mother. My mother kept the watch in memory of the deceased.

After the funeral, I had a dream that Pavel Matveevich insistently demanded that my mother take the watch to his old apartment. I woke up at five o'clock and immediately ran to my mother to tell my strange dream. Mom agreed with me that the watch should definitely be taken back.

Suddenly a dog barked in the yard. Looking out the window, we saw a man standing at the gate under a lantern. Hastily throwing on her coat, mom ran out into the street, quickly returned, took something from the sideboard and went to the gate again. It turned out that Pavel Matveevich’s son from his first marriage came to pick up the watch. He happened to be passing through our city and came to us to ask for something in memory of his father. How he found us almost at night remains a mystery. About yours strange dream I'm not even saying...

At the end of 2000, my husband’s father, Pavel Ivanovich, became seriously ill. Before the New Year he was admitted to the hospital. At night I again had a dream: as if some man was urgently demanding that I ask him about something important. Out of fear, I asked how many years my parents would live, and received the answer: more than seventy. Then she asked what awaited my father-in-law.

In response I heard: “There will be an operation on the third of January.” And indeed, the attending physician scheduled an emergency operation for January 2nd. “No, the operation will be on the third,” I said confidently. Imagine the surprise of the relatives when the surgeon rescheduled the operation for the third time!

And another story. I have never been particularly healthy, but I rarely went to doctors. After the birth of my second daughter, I once had a very bad headache, almost bursting. And so on throughout the day. I went to bed early in the hope that my headache would go away in my sleep. She had just begun to fall asleep when little Katya began to fuss. There was a night light hanging above my bed, and as soon as I tried to turn it on, I felt like I was electrocuted. And it seemed to me that I was soaring high in the sky above our house.

It became calm and not scary at all. But then I heard a child’s cry, and some force returned me to the bedroom and threw me into bed. I took the crying girl in my arms. My nightgown, my hair, my whole body were wet, as if I had been caught in the rain, but my head didn’t hurt. I think that I experienced instant clinical death, and the crying of the child brought me back to life.

After 50 years I have the ability to draw, which is what I always dreamed of. Now the walls of my apartment are hung with paintings...

JOKED

My father was born in Odessa in 1890, died in 1984 (I was born when he was 55 years old). As a child, he often told me about the days of his youth. He grew up as the 18th child (the last) in the family, enrolled himself in school, finished 4th grade, but his parents did not allow him to study further: he had to work. Although he was a communist, he spoke well of the tsarist times and believed that there was more order.

In 1918 he volunteered for the Red Army. When I asked him what prompted him to take this step, he answered: there was no work, but he needed to live on something, and they offered him rations and clothes, plus youthful romance. My father once told me this story:

“Went Civil War. We were standing in Nikolaev. We lived in a heated house on railway. In our unit there was a joker Vasya, who often amused everyone. One day, along the carriages, two railway workers were carrying a can of fuel oil, stuffed with a gag.

Right in front of them, Vasya jumps off the carriage, spreads his arms to the side and in some strange voice says: “Hush, hush, lower, lower, the machine gun is scribbling with water, fire, water, lie down!” He falls on all fours and begins to crawl. The railway workers, taken aback, immediately fell in and began crawling on all fours after him. The can fell, the gag fell out, and fuel oil began to flow out of the flask. After that, Vasya stood up, shook himself off and, as if nothing had happened, approached his Red Army soldiers. Homeric laughter rang out, and the poor railway workers, raising their cans, quietly left.”

This incident was very memorable, and my father decided to repeat it himself. Once in the city of Nikolaev, he saw a gentleman in a white Easter suit, white canvas shoes and a white hat coming towards him. His father approached him, spread his arms to the sides and said in an insinuating voice: “Hush, hush, lower, lower, the machine gun is scribbling with water, fire, water, lie down!” He dropped down on all fours and began to crawl in a circle. This gentleman, to the amazement of his father, also fell to his knees and began to crawl after him. The hat flew off, there was dirt all around, people were walking nearby, but he seemed detached.

The father perceived what happened as a one-time hypnosis on a weak, unstable psyche: power changed almost every day, uncertainty, tension and general panic reigned. Judging by some facts, such a hypnotic effect on some people is common in our rational times.

SIGN OF TROUBLE

That year, my daughter and I moved to my grandmother’s apartment, which I had inherited. My blood pressure jumped and my temperature rose; Having attributed my condition to an ordinary cold, as soon as it had eased up a little, I calmly left for a country house.

The daughter, who remained in the apartment, did some laundry. Standing in the bathroom, with her back to the door, she suddenly heard a child’s voice: “Mom, mom...” Turning around in fear, she saw that a little boy was standing in front of her and stretching out his hands to her. In a split second the vision disappeared. My daughter turned 21 and was not married. I think readers understand her feelings. She took this as a sign.

Events were not slow to unfold, but in a different direction. Two days later I ended up on the operating table with an abscess. Thank God she survived. There seems to be no direct connection with my illness, and yet it was not a simple vision.
