Woman in white is watching me

[FlickerOfLight]

A couple of months ago, I was sitting here minding my own business, reading a web page, when there was a sudden "streak" of smoke or mist that darted between myself and the computer screen, moving from my right to my left, and hauling ass like it's ass was on fire and it's head was catching.

The motion caught my attention, so I looked to the left to see if I could still see it. Over beside the cabinet that my TV sits on, right next to the corner of the cabinet, there was... something... standing there. It was about 2 1/2 feet tall, and maybe 8" wide. it was black, and it was shimmering is the best way I can describe it. just very rapidly fading out and then back in, almost flashing rapidly. It was there for a good 10 seconds or so, with me staring at it thinking "what the hell?" Then it just popped out of existence, and a faint white wisp rose up from that location and went through the ceiling.

I was kinda stunned, but the impression I got was that whatever the white streak was, it "attacked" the black shimmer, and put it to going.

I just shrugged and muttered "Huh. Imagine that." and went right back to reading.

Interesting.

My brother was doing some work on his computer a while back, this is exactly what he described that he saw.

My mom often speaks of the lady in white that she sees often.

When NightskyeB4Dawn said her mom has seen this I thought maybe there is some truth to this and I'm not actually just going crazy.

So I did a web search of this woman in white.

I had no idea how popular this tale was. Hundreds of sites talking about this woman in white.

I described her exactly as others have. 

The takes vary a little. Some say this is the woman on the side of highways who kills men who are unfaithful or abusive towards women. Some say she has lost a child and steals children trying to replace her own lost child. Some say she has lost her romantic love partner and roams around looking to replace or find him.


Tons of lore on this particular ghost. 

Apparently I've seen one of the most popular ghost stories ever told.

Wow...

Ummmm.....I know how this looks now, but this is all the truth. I have seen the "woman in white." The legend is real.

I did a check if the obituaries from this area of any young women who recently passed. No young women have died around here in quite some time.

Ps. I live right off of a highway. It's s stones throw away from where I'm sitting.

I've read up on this story. This particular ghost has been seen all over the world. All similar tales. 

She's considered to be a bad omen. An omen of an upcoming death or tragedy. 

The weirdest part of this is the fact that I've actually had this strange feeling I was going to die soon, or something very tragic was right around the corner. 

Then the woman in white shows up.

Weird.

NO. That's forbidden. I simply can't allow it. If you did die, we'd never know - it's not like the headline of your obituary would read "FlickerOfLight Sputters Out", so we'd never know.



When Mystic Wanderer died, it was a month before we knew, and then only because a friend she had convinced to join here dropped by to tell us. When Guohua died, it was around 2 months I think before we knew, and then only because I'd gotten tired of giving her her "space", and went looking for her, found her husband instead, who then let us know.




So, no, that is disallowed, because we would never know, and therefore could not light a candle for you in the Lit Candle Hall.




Nope. Nope. Nope.



====================================



Now in my case, if I were to shuffle off this mortal coil, I'm pretty sure Grace would drop in to let y'all know so that you could hold a lottery to raffle off the prez-ship. Same for Kdog and GeauHomeLittleD - if one bit the dust, the other would likely let us know. But most of the membership doesn't have an arrangement that would work like that, so I'm afraid I've had to make a new rule, no one gets to die.



It's just that simple. I have spoken!



.

That's a good point. 

I'm known to just dissappear and not return to things. I'm always a flight risk. If I do dissappear I wouldn't worry. It's just my nature. 


I have actually been having this feeling since about 8 months ago. It's this really strong feeling of either death or prison for me, or some horrid nightmare. After everything I've been through for the last 6 or 7 years has me whooped. I'm wanting things to settle down and they seem to just keep ramping up. To the point I've come a total recluse. I have stepped away from this world completely. Other than here.

I have been battling fear. An unknown fear, or fear of the unknown. Even though I know I'm protected, I still have this overwhelming fear. I was actually going to write about it here. I knew this was something I had to overcome. I'm slipping into madness sitting here like this. I am a social butterfly. Or at least not the type to stay copped up inside constantly. But, truthfully, I am afraid to step out of my door. I feel like if I do something really bad is going to happen to me.

I have never felt like this!!! Ever!!!! This is NOT my nature at all.

Whatever it is it has me rattled, bad.

And then this white light and woman shows up. I know she did feel like tragedy. Her face is stuck in my mind now. It's creepy.
