Meaning ill ask them if the Kennedies paid.

If they were paid, it was probably from an account in Chicago. A friend, whose parents were "gofers" for the Kennedys, told me that they typically tell people to send the bill to an address in Chicago.

Interesting...I have heard similar stories like that of some sort of entity paralyzing people. I can't remember what it may have been, but I don't think it was just an ordinary ghost.

Ah but the thing is, they don't have the proper calendars if they are worshipping on a solar calendar. They might want to get in on the latest fad, but I'm pretty sure that they have a lot to learn. Of course, being that they are pagan....

One bright and sunny day in the fall of 1989 a young man was helping his two teenaged brothers fly kites.

The weather was perfect and they had a thousand feet of string for each kite. The entire length of string played out on one kite and it took out over the valley at a dizzying height, never to be seen again.

Fearing the loss of the other kite, the young man recommended that his teenaged brother reel in the remaining kite. The wind had other plans, and took the kite, and severed the string. The wind eventually dropped the kite in a tree thirty feet high, in the middle of the deep woods.

After hours of searching the three brothers located the kite. The teenagers were dismayed, there was no way for them to reach that height at that location. The older brother, however, wrapped his legs around the smooth trunk of the tree and began climbing it. Hoping that his longer arms would allow him to eventually reach the kite.

Near the top, with the kite almost within reach, 25 feet off the ground, the entire crown of the tree snapped, as it snapped, the branches wrapped around the climber forcing him to fall the entire length onto the ground below, flat on his back on a large rock. The crown of the tree landed across his legs.

His younger brothers were in shock as they looked on the still, unbreathing body of their brother. They had no idea what to do, their older brother was dead. They decided, after a short discussion, that one of them would go let their father know what happened while the other stayed to ensure that they would be able to find the same location in the woods.

Then, as one teen turned to go, the still body of their brother stood up. His younger brothers screamed.

Well I didn’t actually see it myself, but I did witness the aftermath. Back in 72 or 73 I was Sargent of the Guard one night. The Spec 4 who was guarding the helicopter pad said one of the things attacked him, causing him to cut it to pieces with his bayonet.

I never did get the full story because the rest of the detachment plus a couple of MP’s insisted on beating the hell out of him. If I had known you would ask, I would have written him in Levenworth and inquired.

I have heard similar stories like that of some sort of entity paralyzing people.

It's called Sleep Paralysis. I have it,(and it can be very scary if you're not aware of what's going on) and All while growing up my mother use to tell me it was a demon. Everyone... when their in REM sleep are paralyzed. Sleep Paralysis is when you are half stuck in REM and half awake. You can not move one muscle or even talk. However "dreams" can take on a extremely odd reality. It is just a sleep disorder. Doesn't even happen all the time. Lots of time happens more to me when I'm "stressed". But now that I know what it is.. I try to will myself back to sleep! :)

[rwfromkansas]

Never heard of that being the case. Thanks for the info.

[Maelstrom]

It can be overcome...and that frightens many other people.

"Should I hire an exorcist? Should I be (gulp) afraid?"

Be a good neighbor and call the cops!

[Fintan]

Bet you're a real blast at parties.

Thanks for giving me the best laugh I'd had in a while.

Well, Yes it can be extremely frightening, when people are telling you its demons. I know as a child I was afraid to go to sleep at night for fear of it happening again. I only became unafraid when I found out it was a sleeping disorder and happens to many people. Now that I know what is it.. Doesn't scare me at all, in fact.. I don't fight it.(like I use to when I was a child) . I just go back to sleep and wake up right!! LOL

Thanks for the link, I just read the story about Butchie. Great story. My favorite little dog will go to doggie heaven soon because he has cancer. I would love it if he comes back.

OK..Russell, speaking of God and Angels and the paranormal...try this.

My Mom was in her last day of Renal Failure. She had been in the hospital for awhile...a very small place..not many people worked there.

She had only hours to live, and a Handsome Blonde young man came into her room and spoke with me. He took my Mother's hand in his..then asked me "where is the ring she loved, who has it?". Mom never took the ring off, but her fingers were so swollen, we had to take it off...she cried.

I told him.."I have it"...He nodded his approval.

He was dressed in all white and I especially noticed his shoes, they were white leather...strange. None of the others at the hospital were dressed like him..He was tailored, not scrubs.

So then I told him I hadn't noticed him before, did he work in that area? "No"...he said.."I work at the other end". The other end of the hospital had about 6 rooms and was just a short walking distance from Mom's room.

We enquired about him, but NO ONE knew him, He did not work there, ever. It took us months to realize that the "other end" meant heaven..Believe it or not... he was Mom's Angel.

I've seen dead people near the election booth.

Living in Texas, I saw dead people lined up in alphabetical order to vote for LBJ.

Okay! I'm lying. I wasn't there, didn't see it but it did happen.
