Notes About The Poem

This is a true story of my experience as a child. 

Ghost Hunters and Spiritualists

Many people don’t believe and are skeptics today
Ghost and spirits are made up rumors they say
People making up stories to manipulate and prey
I am a not a skeptic due to my experience one day

We lived an old Victorian house on a hill
Thinking back to that day still gives me a chill
I was a child, not more than five or six years old
When I saw a gold colored spirit on the threshold

My parents thought I was making it up, dreaming
They even accused me of lying and scheming
I am sensitive and very intuitive in some ways
That is why I was able to see the spirit that day

I am not a skeptic but agree some things are a hoax
Not everyone really gets to see spirits and ghosts
I know some people think it’s crazy, made up and fake
But I know what I saw that day, I was totally awake

I personally think we don’t know what we don’t know. Many things are just beyond our grasp and within the reach of others.

I agree and some of us are more intuitive and in touch with the spiritual world, or we believe we are :). Thanks for stopping by!

My youngest sister had an "imaginary friend" she called "Beautiful Swell" from early childhood through elementary school. Just looking into my sister's eyes, one could tell when the two were discussing things. "Mental illness" has caused many people to be burnt as witches or imprisoned in asylums, so the majority keep silent about what they see, especially in broad daylight! Aloha! Rico
