UFO CASE REPORT
ReplyDeleteNight watchman Kenny Lapratt said he was on duty one night several weeks ago when he saw what he believes were spaceships.He said there were two Frisbees on top of another, like an orange in the middle and they were turning at an incredible rate.He panicked and called the police.
I think that is a bad joke.Some students might want to have fun and to see what the watchman will do after he see the aliens.I didn't believe that story's reality.
A mysterious ghost
ReplyDeleteThe story is about a boy who started to notice the presence from "he doesn’t know".
In the nights he heard noises, and when he looked, he saw that his stuff was missing or moved. It couldn't be his parents, they were sleeping. This happened every night. Mornings when he woke up, he always had scratch marks on his legs. One night he was alone at home, his parents went out. Again he heard the noises he went down to the kitchen saw nothing, he went back. Again the noises, he went to the kitchen again. There was a old man sitting on his table. He was scared and called his mother but when she came back the man wasn't there anymore. Since this night the boy can see the old man every night at 10.52 pm on his table, also he can hear the noises and he has the scratch marks on his legs... Nobody else can see it or hear it.
I think the man is a person who want so tell him something.. An advice or something like that, maybe he want helps him with something. And the boy will see the man so long until he understands the message. That’s the reason why only he can see the man... I don't think that's a hoax or a delusion. But
I'm not sure if it's possible, it never happened to me. But sometimes you can hear about this kind of stories from other people. I think that's not really a nice life, to live with "this person".

My story that I read tells about a wife, who is waiting for the doctor because her husband is very ill. After a few minutes she can hear the clip-clop of hooves. She get frightened because she could remember that her husband told her the Death Coach would come for him that night. When she sees out of the window there is the black coach. At the same moment her husband says: "I love you!" and then she knows he is dead. But then she can see him behind de window, he is smiling to her and get on the coach.
ReplyDeleteSo i don't believe this story because it is absolutely impossible that somebody is coming to take you if you are dead. When this story is true, why are there no more stories about the mysterious Death Coach? And why should the man know before that the Death Coach is coming, he had to meet the Death before but you can't meet the Death when you are still alive. Maybe the woman was so sad that she starts to fantasize. So that’s my meaning about this story and now you can say what do you think about.

FOREST RINGS
ReplyDeleteIt is a strange phenomenon: thousands of large, perfectly round "forest rings" dot the boreal landscape of northern Ontario. From the air, these mysterious light-coloured rings of stunted tree growth are clearly visible, but on the ground, you could walk right through them without noticing them. They range in diameter from 30 metres to 2 kilometres, with the average ring measuring about 91 metres across. What causes these near-perfect circles in the forest? I don't know why it was happened there. Some people say it was made by someone lives in another planet. I want to believe that because that is very interesting!
The story is about a mother and his son.
ReplyDeleteThe mother explained how was his son scare of the shower.Every time that her take her son near the shower, the boy starts screaming and crying.
When his son become 4- years old, they had a conversation between each other and asked him that why don't he take a shower and he replied as that he died in the shower with his other mommy.At first, she didn't believe him but there are some details that are impossible for him to know. For instance, he told about the dogs that he is scared to death of dogs and said he was bitten by a dog on his leg.The area where he talked about now has a birthmark!!
I think this is possible, because i surely believe that if reincarnation exits, people should remember details.
The Train Station Ghost
ReplyDeleteThis story is about a man who always took the train to visit his girlfriend.
Once, it was a Sunday, he waited for the train back home. There was just him and an old lady waiting for the last train. The old lady was very agitated and started to cry: She told him, that she can’t go back. The man asked if he could help her but she still cried. The man hurried up to catch the train but the old lady was still sitting there. As the man arrived at home he felt guilty because he left the old lady alone. So he called the police and asked them if they could go and see if she is ok.
The next day, Monday, he saw an article in the local newspaper about a lady who had been killed whilst walking along the railway lines. He recognized the photo as the old lady, but the accident date was not Sunday (when met her), it was Saturday! He never took the train again; he decided to take the bus.
My opinion:
I don’t believe in ghosts or mysterious phenomenons. There is always an explanation. The man could have been very tired and confound the lady. It could also be that he just dreamed the whole story.
Speaking in tongues.
ReplyDeleteSpeakin in tongues is when you're praying in a language that no one else can understand. It's a kind of communicating with God. Not every one can speak in tongue, You've to be chosen by Holly Spirit for that.
Many people inaccurately define speaking in tongues as "speaking gibberish" or "talking nonsense". The truth is that speaking in tongues is the most intelligent, perfect language in the universe. It's God's language.
What language do you think that we speak in the heaven? Speaking in tongues is the common language, the language that every one speaks whatever the country they come from.
The first speak in tongues were the disciples. This occurred on the day of Pentecost. This day there were two miracles: speaking in tongues and the enabling of some to understand the tongues.
Not every one can understand the tongues, some of onlookers make fun of people who speak in tongue and accused them of being drunk.
I think you can easily know what is my opinion about that. I believe in God and I really think that speaking in tongues is a Holly Spirit' gift, a beautiful gift that I would love to have.
The Flying Dutchman is a ghost ship that never comes home, doomed to sail the oceans forever. For example the Black Pearl from the movies the Pirates of the Caribbean is derivied from the legend of The Flying Dutchman, a ship that never comes home.
ReplyDeleteThe original legend of The Flying Dutchman tells that the vessel, sailing to the Dutch East Indies, became in heavy weather and the Captain decided to continue in preposition with the advices of the Chief Mate. The Captain, Willem van der Decken, threw his chief Mate overboard and continued his trip to the Dutch East Indies, but he never arrived there. Till this point it will be reasonable story, but that the ship reincarnate as a ghost ship is for me not reasonable.
I think in the early centuries I might be possible that a ship is forever on the oceans, if that is your life, the way to earn money and you have no home, you can’t go home. Later on the story is extended and is used in a lot of books and movies. After his reincarnation the story became some aspects that couldn’t be realistic, for example diving into the water to become invisible.
