Two years ago, shortly before he died, Elmer was trying to message The Wife but his old, fat fingers were having a tough time of it, so she asked him to call her instead. (Elmer could not multi-task so wouldn't answer his phone if trying to do something else on it at the same time.)
This morning, Father's day 2025, The Wife went out to her barn, laid her phone down, and a few minutes later came back to find this on it.
(Not me! I don't go in her barn unless invited, and I wasn't invited this morning.)
This is one for Aniela Jaffe's *Apparitions & Precognition*

In the '30s a German newspaper with a wide distribution ran a story about someone seeing an apparition and invited readers to submit their experiences.
DeleteThey received over 1,500 letters from the full spectrum -- doctors to farmers. Nearly all requested anonymity for fear of reprisal from their neighbors.
The publisher, knowing of Jung's interest in the paranormal, offered the letters to him. Jung was in his 80s and busy on the lecture circuit. Jaffé, his assistant, took up the project and produced the book.
You were wise and did not have children, did you?
ReplyDeleteI was, arguably, unwise and have a daughter from my first marriage. Someone to take care of me when I'm old!?
DeleteYeah, that is a little spooky.
ReplyDeleteNot the first time something like this has happened. Very early on in our relationship her dead brother returned one of a pair of her favorite earrings, that he had squirreled away just for fun because that's the kind of brother he was, on the eave of her highschool reunion. (She still carried the other earring with her all the time and was able to wear the set to the reunion.)
DeleteHow did he return the earring?
DeleteLeft it laying on top of the bed in the room at her childhood home that we were using. It used to be his room
