Apparitions: Are they Real or Figments of our Memories?

Apparitions are the appearance of ghosts, the dead, in our dreams appearing to us as if they are still alive. This is a powerful spiritual experience and a phenomenon that many try to explain through dream interepretation and many other methods. I've had this experience more than once so I know its very real.

Have you ever seen an apparition, either in your dreams or while awake?

I want to hear your stories! Email themidnightwriter1@gmail.com and let's talk about how we can write or publish your story on this blog. I'm putting together a book in the near future so tell me if you have an extensive story to share that would qualify for an anthology of short story accounts about this phenomenon.

My Mother Appeared to me on a Train Ride

The train rocked gently down the steep incline of Mount Shasta inching its way through the mountainous ravine. Its swaying motion coupled with the clackety clack of the wheels put me to sleep rather quickly. It was only a 51/2 hour ride to Sacramento so I knew that whatever sleep I managed, the nap would be short. Court was scheduled for 11am so I would have to wait in the train station drinking coffee for four hours before heading to the court house. I needed the sleep.

A swathe of pink flowing light danced in front of me, hovering like some ghostly apparition. All of a sudden a voice spoked from this pink light in a soft stern command. "Sherry. Get up. Get up. Wake up and fight!" Mom's visage vanished just as I startled myself out of sleep. I rose up in my seat and realized that dawn had not come and I was still rocking in my train seat as it neared the station in Sacramento.

I hugged my maroon sweater close to my chest hugging it as if Mom were somehow captured within its fabric. It was the closest thing to the beautiful pink light I saw moments earlier.
