"The Homeplace"
Dreams have been an age old source of contact with the paranormal. Countless stories can be told of prophetic dreams of the future to contact with a departed loved ones. Here is one of deja vu and evil....
"A warm spring day is dawning on a beautiful country home. Cicadas buzz in the trees and namelss, known relatives mill about as the family reunion wears on. The family house looms ahead and I am drawn to the cool air inside. The turn of the century layout never changes and the history is felt around every corner. Then there it is...the staircase."
"Just as before, Panic seizes my heart but I am powerless to stop myself from going up the stairs to the childrens rooms at the top. Inside the small alcove with the slanted ceiling, the childs bed, china doll and Victorian Doll house in the corner. The door slams and "the being" is there. A force so black, so evil I cannot move."
If at this point I don't awake I somehow escape to the haybarn across the small dirt road in front of the house and there I'll wake up. Always the same dream, always the same black, evil presence. I sit either bolt upright in bed or wake up clinging to the matress for dear life. For months the dream plagued me.
Being a believer in the paranormal, as well as having first hand experiance with strange phenomenon. I felt these dreams were not the run-of-the-mill nightmares. In passing one day I mentioned it to friends of mine, who are also believers. As I described my dreams, one kept asking specific questions. "Are there any trees? Where are they? What did I see behind the house? What era was the house from? etc.. After I answered, she got up and rummaged through a pile of old photographs and pulled out two pictures. One of a distant house in the rolling Kentucky hills, and one, a close up of the house. The same house.
It turns out to be the old family home of these friends, in a small town in Kentucky and that they were making plans to go to the annual family reunion, in just a few weeks time. I was told that all the details I dreamed of were accurate from the layout of the house and property, to the old Victorian doll house. The only thing that differed was the alcove with the slanted ceiling. It was confirmed that several children have died in the house and that there is a dark presence that lingers upstairs. While my friends are there, they will research farther into the history of the house and property. So an update of the mysterious dream house will be coming soon....
