Crisis Apparition
In
1989, I had an experience that is properly called a
crisis apparition. This happens when you
see the "spirit" of someone that is alive but generally far away and
in trouble or danger.
At
the time, I was in the Army and into motorcycles and had started riding with a
club of (mostly) other military guys. I say mostly because there were 2 women in the club, neither of which was military. It was of one of these women,
"Kathy" that I had the apparition.
I had been in the club for about a year and as the club was small, we
were all very close friends. One night I
was asleep in my barracks when I suddenly jerked awake. I didn't know why
but I had a feeling that Kathy was in trouble.
I could barely remember the dream I was having but there were flashes of
her and an ambulance. The only thing I
knew for sure was that I had to get to her.
This being before cell phones were popular I got on my bike and went to
our local hangout. As soon as I got
there, another friend pulled me aside and told me not to worry, but Kathy had
been in an accident. She had dumped her
bike crossing the street when a car pulled out in front of her. Luckily, she just got a bit of road rash and
was not seriously hurt. I explained why
I was there and it turned out that she dumped her bike at the exact same time I
woke up.
Why me? Why not one of the
others or someone that was closer? It is
my belief that it was because I was asleep.
Being unconscious, I was the most receptive. She didn't mentally
choose me. I am in no way psychic. I was just in the best state to hear her
subconscious cry for help.
