ghosts stories......
during my childhood there were always weird occurences, coincidences and happenings in the part of town i lived in and subsequently in the places i've moved to since. one night, during the summer when i was about 7-8 yrs old(just prior to one of my brothers being born, my parents always kept me and my siblings on the same sleep schedule year round. so one particular night, we were sent to bed, but being summer it was still dusk, and as i lay in my bed i heard a womans voice just as it was getting dark. she sounded like she was sad, she said "i thought i would be ok...". being nosey i went to my bedroom door thinking it was moms talking maybe to dad about her being pregnant. i opened the door and just as i peeked out, moms looked in the direction of our room and yelled "get in the bed... NOW!" i swear, i was in the bed so fast the covers landed in me after i was still!!
by this time , it was completely dark and then i heard the ladies' voice again saying the same thing, and this time i knew it wasnt moms, and it seemed to be coming from my window. so i look over and didnt see anything, but you know how it feels, when you "feel" someone near you, w/o looking? that's how it felt and it was coming from my window. i look towards the window and after curiosity got the best of me, i sneak outta the bed and head to the window. during the summers we kept our upstairs curtains/blinds open, and behind the house was a large prairie and Kauffman lake. i look out the window towards the lake and i see a pair of red lights glowing inside the water. since i'd never seen anything like that EVER near the lake i stood and watched them for what seemed like forever, then something drew my attention to the shore.
the shoreline i was fixated on was a point on the lake that had a steep dropoff of about 2 stories(+/-20feet) and just below that, the red lights. on the shore i seen what looked like a person standing, lined up where the lights were. i stood and watched this form and then i heard the voice again, this time almost like they were on the verge of tears. i went in my parents room and told them plain as day "there's a lady at the lake and she's sad." fast forward one ass whooping and being placed back in bed for "not listening" i eventually fell asleep.
when i wake the next morning, my dad was standing on the rear deck looking at the lake. he immediately turned to me as my moms approached and asked "what did the lady do?" i told him what she said, where she was standing and what was in the lake. he said i need to show you something at the lake, and put my on his shoulders. when i looked at the lake, i seen police, a black van and a wrecker. on the wrecker was a white oldsmobile toronado(like this). when i looked at my moms, she had this worried look on her face and told me "a lady drove into the lake last night."
later on that day(my dad was a cop) i overheard him telling my moms he was able to get information on the lady, that she commited suicide and left a note as proof. the coroner figured the time of death was a little before the sun completely went down...the first time i heard her saying "i thought i would be ok....."
