As you can see I’m taking a much needed break from blogging tips, seo and other tech oriented articles for a bit to show my many faces in writing. I love writing and I am still working on two books which I hope will be good enough to get me a book deal! My advice to all is never quit blogging, just change your attitude and experiment with new content!My good friend Christy from Christy’s Coffee Break tagged me last week to write a post for her Freaky Friday’s project! Click the link in the previous sentence for the rules. I have a lot of readers that don’t do memes. These memes helped take my technorati authority from 0-500 in 3 months! Are you afraid a meme will make you look unprofessional? I beg to differ.
Christy is one of the MOST PROFESSIONAL writers in the entire blogosphere and too bad for you if you don’t do them (she does them so ha ha)! I’ll stick with my good buddies thank you! Be sure to also check out her new blog, Totally Fabulous which is for the ladies. It’s also cool for the guys too! Christy Rocks!!!!!!!!!!
I love horror and the supernatural, so I will share with you my experience in this. This episode of Freaky Friday (It’s actually Saturday) happened three months before I turned three years of age.
Incident On Custer Hill: Fort Riley, Kansas
At the age of two I lived with my parents (only because they made me) on a military base, in Fort Riley, Kansas. This is the location of Custer’s Hill (of the famous battle, the last stand of General Custer where many people died). We lived on this base as my father was in the U.S. Army. I remember being two years of age very clearly. I remember being born! Who could forget that 1st cool breeze on a wet bald head?
We lived in a haunted apartment which I know is truly haunted. My father didn’t believe in anything but fighting and surely didn’t believe in ghosts. Many times during dinner, socks and other small clothing items would drop onto the the dinner table and there was no one else in the room but myself, mom and dad.
My dad’s super shiny military shoes would be filled with mud every morning and I of course didn’t do it. My dad was the lightest sleeper and always slept with one eye open while my mother slept deeply and snored all night; very creepy indeed (the snoring and the mud).
As a kid, I remember that when I had my eyes closed about to sleep, I saw lights and an ocean of kaleidoscopic colours rain down all around me. To this day, when I close my eyes, I see things. I don’t see the showers of colour anymore. I see a well defined ball of deeply rich indigo light which hovers before me.
I learned in my twenties that this indigo colour relates to crown, pineal gland and nervous system. It is the most sensitive and wisest of colors. This is the intuitive color in the aura, and reveals psychic power of attunement with self. It is of intuitive, visionary, futuristic, idealistic, artistic, and magical meaning. This is all based on the art of Yoga which I have practiced for over 30 years.
I saw the ghosts of pretty ladies dancing in the mirror when in my bedroom. I remember what they looked like. They smiled at me and when they whispered, I could feel hot breath on my neck and ears. They called me Bobby.
One Friday afternoon, my mother stepped out for 5 minutes to get clothes from the laundry room next door. When she left, she locked the door to protect me for the short few minutes she was gone. We lived on the 2nd floor in this building.
When she came back she saw something that changed my bond with my great mom forever. I had a little red wagon I played with that was made of wood and steel (a real kid’s wagon from the old days). Somehow, I was outside the apartment door.
She saw me hanging over the interior stairwell with the rope on the the wagon handle tied miraculously into an actual noose around my neck. My head hung outside the ledge and the wagon (which was far too heavy for me to lift) had been thrown over the guard rail and hung with all it’s weight on my throat. The door was a key-lock from both sides.
She saved my life. She said my face was dark blue and I was seconds from death. She asked me what happened. I told her it was the pretty ladies from my mirror who did it. To this day I do not remember being strangled but my mother said I was so so scared I shivered for three days. She said my body trembled in spasms from the incident. No matter how hard I try, I can’t remember it. I guess I was so traumatized that I have a memory block. (yes I could talk very well at two years of age).

Hi Bobby!
This is really a very freaky tale. You could have died!! As I put down my comments, I still keep scrolling up to read what you have written to check if I should believe this.
When did you finally moved out of that haunted house?
How’s your Saturday so far?

Weird but true. That was probably how anyone would have described your traumatizing experience there. Reminded us of the movie ‘The Haunting’.
But u were very brave for a two-year-old and u should be applauded for that. =)

Hi Bobby
First of all thank you for all of those nice things you said about me…wow…that means so much to me! You are so incredibly sweet!
I’m so glad you participated in this! Your story was so scary, I was on the edge of my seat. You’re definitely a great writer! Your whole family must have been terrified. Thank God your mother found you that day, and that you moved not too long after!!
I’m going to post a paragraph of your story next week with a link back here. Then every week I will be reposting all of the links of the participants and encouraging others to do the same.
Thanks again, you are an amazing friend and I’m lucky to have met you:)

Wow! Just…. Wow.
That is freaking scary! I never believed in hauntings until I moved into this apartment. Strange things happen here. Nothing truly frightening just annoying but it’s made me a believer.

Thank you so much for tagging me, Bobby! This is too exciting! I am giddy with anticipation!
You have NO idea how much I adore things like this! I will not let you down. I will be sure to respond as soon as possible.
Your story is chilling. I am so sorry to hear that the pretty ladies did such a horrible thing to you. I can’t believe that anyone would want to hurt you. You are so kind and compassionate. They must have been terribly evil.
I bet you have many more stories to tell. I bet you are full of interesting and exciting tales. I am so glad we are friends, Bobby. I am always so happy when I visit your blog.

Hello Bobby
This is really a freaky story and I had chills running up my spine just by reading, can’t imagine to have lived through one though.
Oh, those evil, evil, “ghosts of pretty ladies dancing”, how could they be so mean to you (even though they sounded pretty neat in the beginning of the story).
Anyway, this goes to show that you are indeed a remarkable and talented writer Bobby, hope that your books will be out soon, my friend

This was a 10 on the “WOW” factor. The scariest moment I have had is when a pheasant flew out from under my feet. This pales in comparison to three ghost ladies

Thanks for the awesome compliment you left on my blog Bobby! I’m glad people are liking the recordings so much.

Aaron

You know I could almost feel like I was there when I was reading your story. When you write from the soul, everything comes out beautifully. Fantastic.

Dude! that is totally freaky. It is wild that you don’t remember something so scary. I think that might be why you don’t remember it? Either way, it sounds totally scary. I haven’t been in any situation like that but I for sure believe in ghosts.

Oh man, that is so scary, it must be the most haunting one I have ever read! Plus you could remember everything at 2 years of age. You’re really special. I can’t even recall anything when I was older, like 6. It must be so terrifying for a small child.

OMG! I’m late again! One of the most valuable commodities in my life (and everyone’s ..I guess) is time. Even though I don’t sleep that much, somehow a few very important things (like the mention in your post) slip by me. I’m terribly grateful for the attention. ::bowing humbly:: THANK YOU BOBBY
The impact of your story is powerful. Wow! Love reading you.

Wow man, it’s truly a creepy story… But i believe, when we’re under 5 years old, we’ve a natural capability to see or interact with ghost. But sometime, most of us, block the memory, so we forget about it

Nafa: My family never believed I could remember being two (almost 3) but I remember it like it was yesterday. They know I can now from describing things in detail to them. I wish I could remember how the noose was placed around my neck. It’s been driving me crazy all my life. Something happened and I need to know what it was. Whatever it was, it scared me badly. Thanks Nafa!

@Eric ?Speedcat?: Hi Eric! I have seriously considered hypnotherapy to unblock the memory of what happened to me that day. I do still remember the ladies though and they didn’t seem scary, but something did happen to me. My mom said the fact that I was on the outside of a two-way keylocked door scared her silly!

@Aaron Cook: You’re welcome Aaron! I about to publish an extremely controversial article that will make every A-list blogger hate my guts. It’s actually not intended to but I know it will. ProBlogger came here while back, you remember.
The truth is, he only came here because I criticized him and he was simply trying to make himself feel better. The truth is the truth.
My post will be indirectly about John Chow. It’s also about how Google is the MOST UNETHICAL company in the world. I hope I offend all of them, ha ha ha
